My life was filled with deceit.  It in-cluded the negative character defects we all can grow up with. I refused to let go for nearly thirty years the misery that I placed in my living soul.      Not until I faced death, did I make a decision to change;  to discover if there really was a better life to live.      What I found was the simplicity of living one day at a time.  The new be-ginning was here for me to find the peace and serenity for all eternity.....       ....

"Simple Living"

In replacing old habits with the new, we must first replace negative thoughts with positive thinking.  We must learn to let go of all the misery that we have encountered throughout our lives.  We must be able to open up new avenues to fulfill with hope, peace, and everlasting serenity.  If our hearts are right, our world will be right.      Do you want to be president of the United States?  How about a multi-millionaire?  Or, a Bin Laden (running and hiding for his life)?      Why would you want to complicate your life anymore than what it already been?      I made a decision to myself in 1998, at the age 48, to take stock in myself.  I then began to learn, not only of life, but me in my past living.  What made me tick the way that I did.  People claimed back then that I had gone cuckoo.  My only reply was NO, that I had become a sane/sober person.      The new path that I chose was one of simplicity.  I had become acceptable by life on life terms.  By simplifying my living, I had been able to experience the hope, peace, and serenity in all of my daily affairs.      I currently, and have been for the past three plus years, been working only a part-time job (24-30 hrs/wkly) for under seven dollars an hour.  I have no regrets and wake up each morning feeling like a million dollars without the money.  I pay monthly rent on an apartment, utilities, and have a telephone, computer, and cable hook-up.  I further pay on a life insurance policy.  I cook and eat three daily meals, and am in good health thanks (being a veteran) to the VA Medcal Center.     What more could I ask for?      Nothing...I am content each and every single day with my life as I close nearer to the end of what has turned out to be a beautiful living experience.      I am in true love with reading, writing, and sports.  I am an avid walking person, hiking to and from my job;  shopping, laundry, library, bank, Post Office;  or, just out taking a stroll on a gorgeous day.  I do not cater to outside enterprises where the cost is overbearing.  I only participate in activities that meet my weekly budget.      I care less of gasoline prices.  I do not own a vehicle or care too.  I do not think of car insurance, registration, or, even a driver's license.  I have a social security number that is fine with me.      I have become a laid-back person.  Having discovered the virtue of patience is one of the main reasons.  I have not become lazy in this new life, but rather have not over-indulged myself to an overload of activities.  Keeping it simple and easy does it is what works for me today.      This is simple living with all the rewards that I've discovered to end this life in this world.                                                             Bingocliff    11/24/01
