Rediscovering A Book

Yesterday I got out a book I've attempted to read before. It's called "the not so big life" by Sarah Susanka. It has more meaning for me now. The premise of the book is 'making room for what really matters'. For years I have led an extremely busy life and haven't always felt fulfilled by the business. That's changed more recently due to a turn in the economy and my willingness to do certain things. I canceled a vacation this summer because it wasn't in my budget, for instance. I no longer will "shop til I drop" , so to speak, either. Accumulating things, although filling up my condo, didn't fill my spirit or soul. For the past 8 months or so I have been leading a slower life and enjoying it more. I don't feel the need to be "out and about" every day. I enjoy staying home more and doing things at home. Sandy and Coco are my companions unless I invite a friend over now and then. I still talk on the phone to keep up with people I don't see, or I may use email to keep in touch. I'm not "out of the loop". I'm just not overly busy and wondering why I'm not enjoying my life. I'm hoping that I'm making room for thing that really matter.
