To let a library card expire. (It’s one I want to hold onto and use in the future, but I don’t live there anymore.)
To unsubscribe from all the emails I don’t actually read. To take time and click “unsubscribe” from any spam that comes in.
To get rid of the things I don’t want or don’t use regularly. (Nathan just brought home a white elephant gift … eeek!)
To let relationships change or even fade.
To not renew a health club membership or to (gasp!) QUIT THE GYM. (I have, and it’s so freeing.)
To make simple meals, use ingredients I already have on hand. (Totally loving the most recent — quinoa cranberry salad of goodness.)
To wear the same type of outfit every day and dress up my layers with one of three scarves that I adore.
To read only bound books. I do not want an e-reader. I know my reading habits will morph with any technological shift. For instance, I would very likely start to read books like I read blogs … by skimming and with a lack of solid attention toward them. And that would be bad.
To have a not-so-smart phone. Without the Internet. I really don’t want it. I promise.
To say no to some things, and to say yes to what really matters.
In a quest to live simply, these things and more are OK.

Amen, Kimberly, less is more….more and more of the time.
Totally agree with the thoughts about spam and scarves and some of the other things. But you don’t know what you’re missing without a smartphone — they’re seriously addicting.
Come over to the dark side, Kim …
haha– maybe one day. for now I’m not missing it.
