Simplify in 2009

Publicly committing to simplifying my life in 2009 is terrifying.  What if this turns out like the weight loss efforts and attempts to pay off all of my debt?  This is not just in my personal journal where I can choose to close the pages and tuck away in a trunk never to reread.  I am saying to the world (or 3 people who read this blog) that I am going to work every day in 2009 to live more authentically.  

I will eat as locally as possible, choosing more healthy, organic food.  I will also grow many of my own vegetables in my garden.

I will consume less and appreciate what I already own more.

I will borrow books from the library, spend more time with friends, and in general seek out more meaning and less distraction.
