I have been desiring more quiet in my life. I think between the long days of summer combined with a desire to be more focused, I find that I am enjoying a slower paced life.
I have strived for a simplified life for awhile but it seems like every season has new things to adapt to that throw me off course.
It is amazing though how a few things can make such a difference in my daily pace.
I recently stopped going to the gym and started working out at home. I love not driving as much and using up precious productivity time by driving back and forth. Not to mention how much less unnecessary shopping I am doing by not being out as much.

We will be going on three years of marriage in October and I do not want to let that desire to serve and take care of my husband to slip away as quickly as house chores sometimes do. But somehow it happens so easily.
A little refocus makes me happier, my home taken care of, and my husband better loved.
I would love to know...how do you keep focus on the roles you have in your life?
