mnmlist: things I do have instead

After I wrote my last post, things I don’t have that many do, someone asked, “What do you have that most people don’t?”

It was a good question. I cut out a lot of what I found to be unnecessary (for me) to make room for what I find to be more important.

So what do I have instead? Honestly, what I have isn’t that uncommon, but here goes:

• leisure time
• space in my home
• time to read, meditate, exercise
• time to write every day
• time for my beautiful family
• time for close friends
• time to walk places (instead of drive)
• freedom from car maintenance, car breakdowns, traffic
• time to cook simple, healthy meals
• the luxury of not worrying what time it is most of the time
• disconnectedness when I’m away from home
• fewer distractions even when I’m connected
• my health
• less worry
• a very light packing list
• worry-free finances
• a business I’m proud of
• wonderful readers
