Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things. ~Elise Boulding
Happy Sunday everyone, hope you have a blessed day.

Good Morning! Happy QS!
All great quotes. I really have been trying to simplify since we relocated home to PA, first out of necessity due to space, but then it became so much more!
I love this one! Sometimes the physical clutter we accumulate is due to the inner clutter we have held on to over the years!

Excellent quote choices, Toni! This is definitely something I’m trying to work on – I inherited the packrat gene from my dad and grandfather, and it appears Princess Nagger has been ‘blessed’ with it, too. So I’m trying to whittle things down and eliminate the clutter and unnecessary ‘stuff’. It’s certainly a challenge! 🙂
My favorite quote is:
