Right now, post-travels, I'm focusing more on how I want to feel each day, less on the stuff. That has been a true revelation in life for me these past few weeks. If I focus on those feelings each morning, work towards cultivating them through Andrea & Danielle : : Crafting Connectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255559094866050343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970602023726350617.post-31480238401078346652015-07-29T14:39:10.434+02:002015-07-29T14:39:10.434+02:00I try to travel light until I get to packing my kn...I try to travel light until I get to packing my knitting. when I went to nyc with my family I had one overnight bag, a purse and my knitting bag.

Recently I decluttered my wardrobe, getting rid of half - so many things I loved but never used, or that were worn out. The old 80/20 rule, I tried to keep the 20% I use and not so much else. It feels great to have less, more headspace and more clarity :) <br />Still, we always have room for improvement at home, especially since Danielle Quarmbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772025277676159840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970602023726350617.post-57093282905941081622015-07-27T19:04:08.592+02:002015-07-27T19:04:08.592+02:00That is one of the wonderful things about travelin...That is one of the wonderful things about traveling - that we get to experience life unburdened by so many things that normally surround us and weigh us down. Unfortunately, we don't often make the connection between "excess" and distraction/burden when we get back home. Great post.

It is so easy to get caught up in thinking we 'need' things to make our days, our lives, better, but keeping it simple works for me.
