Wha...Erin, I enjoyed your post over at Good Clouds. What I particularly liked was the thought process you describe in your post <i>"Not Buying It"</i>. It is rational, logical, and liberating!<br /><br />Waking up is good. Advertising promises never live up to their hype, leaving us unsatisfied soon after purchase. You end up spending more and more money to get less and less satisfaction.<br /><br /> It can feel better not buying as buying. When we resist we can either save more money, give some to charity, or chose to work less. <br /><br />When we use our precious time creatively, and guided by our passions, living becomes our art.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your blog. I have added it to our sidebar blog roll.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-21895692000048881592013-07-29T00:04:42.061-03:002013-07-29T00:04:42.061-03:00This evening i was enjoying memories of my "p...This evening i was enjoying memories of my "productive" weekend spent with my daughter and husband....<br />~we built an additional raised bed for veggies in our yard made of wood+ metal screen we already had around. <br />~Canned 24 jars of plum jam using plum and lemons from our fruit trees.<br />~slow cooked beans from scratch.<br />~made granola<br />~made bread<br />~went on 2 walks and a bike ride<br /><br />Productive by enjoyment and fulfillment standards but not by earning money standards.
