Extra Simple Living

I spent the morning watching a bunch of "simple living" videos on youTube. Mmmm. Very interesting and certainly inspiring. I already took the simplicity plunge many years ago. Lived in my van with 2 kids for 6 months while touring the USA. That was back in the '70's. Then in the '80's I lived with friends on a variety of yachts and leaky cargo boats in the Caribbean. In the '90's I lived in a little one room BWI house with a big balcony where I cooked, painted, entertained and slept in my hammock. In '00's I lived in various places with various friends in their well equipped houses and shared their kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, yards and garages (for 7 years) and in the last 3 years I have lived in my own 30' RV in a rugged little forest. It's all been good. I like living with people and paying rent. Choosing positive easy going, semi-messy peeps is the key to the whole deal! Making good agreements in the beginning and continually asking for and giving clear  polite feedback throughout the experience is a must, And paying rent a few days or weeks in advance every month is always good! Be a giver and a doer of good deeds!

Below find a video with a cute gal who has wise and interesting things to say about simple living. So she has a guy. We SSs can do it better without one.
