Need. Want. Gotta Have.

PINTEREST

Life right now seems to be all about Pinterest.  I don't know how many people have told me to check it out, I would love it. 
I'm sure that I would.
I've gotten virtual invites to join pinterest.
I'd have to keep turning it down.

I had set goal in 2011 to lessen my desires of things.  I had to give up HGTV to cut back on my project inspirations.  I didn't even renew my subscription to Southern Living magazine.  That about broke me.  I tried to shop less and browse less. 

This was not easy.  I didn't do really any projects this entire passed year. 

The nice thing was that I think it helped and even almost worked.  Sure I still like to have things but I can control it.  I don't have to HAVE it anymore.  And I'm not constantly thinking of how I can make some money to get those things.  I HAVE much.  Anything I add to my plate at this point is all dessert.  I learned to be satisfied with what I HAVE.  I don't NEED it.

I missed the projects in the sense that I love to do something with my hands and see the ended result.  I love the adventure of trying a new recipe or changing something in my house.  But so much of it was just unneccessary.  I don't think I was even try keep up with the Jones' persay but trying to out do them all together.

I feels good to say that I have accomplished my goal.  I've changed the way I look at things.  Allowing more time to focus on other things.

For 2012 I can now join Pinterest.  I can join it with confidence.  Hopefully I can pass my personal test and keep my focus in place.

Wish me luck.

Pinterest, here I come!
