Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,

We had a couple sunny and 45 degree days, so Brea and I got to the wetlands. Pictures from Brea are below. Our friend the Great Blue Heron was there to visit, along with a caterpillar, birds and bunches of ducks.

Now that it is rainy and cold again so we are making our annual Thanksgiving cards (we do these instead of Christmas cards because it's not as busy of a time). And here's a printable gratitude list I made: http://www.mysimplerlife.com/printable-gratitude-list

Someone was asking about my holiday plan in the accountability group so I thought I'd post here as well: http://www.mysimplerlife.com/simple-holiday-plan-annual-plan-bundle
 
Weekly Simplicity Tips
  1. How is your work-life balance? Brainstorm ways you can work less.

  2. Think of what success means to you. You may already be more successful than you think.

  3. Let go of some control and allow others to do things for you.

  4. Tell relatives what they can bring for Thanksgiving dinner or ask what you can bring

  5. Take care of that pile that is really nagging you

  6. Have a cup of hot cocoa with someone you love

  7. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of
    our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
    -Melody Beattie

Get the Simple Holiday Plan PLUS the Simple Annual Plan

Do you want a holiday plan that doesn’t have you do a million things you just don’t have time for?

I’ve tried the holiday plans that are online. But, I never finished them. Having simplified my Christmas I didn’t use many of the parts of those plans. And they just made me feel guilty.

Would you like a simpler holiday plan ?

I created a plan that I use to keep my holidays organized without overwhelming me.

Plan includes:

  • a checklist for each week
  • simple steps to take to create the holiday you want
  • short cuts and simplifications for many holiday tasks
  • questions to help you decide what is important to you and your family
  • worksheets and forms
