Simplify (Wall Street?)
Don't know where that title came from, except maybe in a bolt of blinding inspiration???
I don't have any resolutions this year, but I've been conscious of reducing the stress and hassles in my life these last few years. So when I saw this article on CNN, it caught my attention.
8 ways to simplify your life in 2012
Although this article is aimed specifically at women, I think the stresses of "modern" life hit everyone.
My big prediction, not necessarily for this year, is that computers and technology will actually be used to simplify and improve our lives. In my opinion, that isn't happening yet... (I've probably said it before and I'll say it again)
What things in your life cause the most turmoil, aggravation, and stress? Or what things do you want (or hope) to change?

Dealing with health insurance claims people.
Listening to political news in an election year.
Driving through town each day on my way to work. Though it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm pretty sure I'll retire before the SLT is finished.

Hi Dave! Even though we have no plans to change our current living arrangement, both my husband & I feel it's time to get rid of extra "stuff.". Letting go can be stressful, although surprisingly liberating in the end.

Computers and technology.
I think life was simpler when we were not tethered to electronic devices.
