the queen of the house

i love the simple life...do i have the simple life??? nope..but what a great goal. i am at a point in my life that i just want a little house, with a little yard and little responsibilities around that house. we are in the process of purging our material belongings and that feels sooo good...lots and lots more to go through. the things that felt important to hang on to...not really all that important...i am looking for less not more in my life. i am taking my teenager and his girlfriend camping tomorrow...a great way to get in touch with nature...god...and what is really important in life. i am on the hamster wheel of the american culture...and i am tired of it!!! i want to be the queen of a little villa in italy, where i can enjoy life and make art all day...wow...what a great goal!!!
