"I see nothing permanent in the society around me, and am not quite committed to any of its ways." Henry David Thoreau, Journal, 1850.
I've been trying to reduce my consumerism and reduce the amount of distractions in my life. (There is some irony here as I'm now on my phone typing an unnecessary post.). I thought that the quote above was worth sharing given the current termoil in the world, and the direction many of us see as unwise.
I'm trying, not without self-inflicted setbacks, to reduce my physical clutter, the number of items I own, and to set a more healthy example for my kids. Let go of a portion of my daily screen time and errands, and use that time for backyard baseball. Avoid reading the news so often.
"The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go."

There's really no point to this post; I thought the quotes were interesting and wanted to share.
