Darphynia's Diary

This week I have decided to focus on minimalism.  I never really thought about how much "stuff" I was accumulating until I moved some things to storage.  Holy s**t!  I have more than enough items.  Do I think that people should never spend or buy things?  No.  But, I want to see what it's like to focus on being present and here rather than on what I want to buy.  Plus, my wallet will surely thank me.   This will be a huge challenge because I am a sucker for samples.  If it is something I will use, then I'll take it, but other than that, I will, "...just say no."

Monday:  The Beginning Today was a pretty easy day, since I've been working from home.  I haven't purchased anything, and have been eating in.  Conveniently, my leftovers were in a recyclable container, so there's that.  Starbucks has been calling (though I secretly long for a tea from Coffee Bean), but truth be told, I'm too comfortable to go.  Plus, they end up tossing a cup anyway since they always measure in the plastic cups, with few exceptions.  I normally get Youthberry tea, and when I take a jar, just have them fill it with room temperature water.
