When Family and Friends Don’t Get It
One of my biggest disappointments in trying to live simply has
been having some family and friends not get the whole idea. One
of the readers of the blog asked for suggestions on how to
handle this issue yesterday and I decided it was definitely
worth a post rather than just a reply.
As I’ve pointed out on our web pages, it really helps to have a
community of people, or at least a supportive group around us to
help pursue simple living. It gives us strength and courage as
well as ideas and tools for living simply and with joy.
Conversely, having people close to us who don’t get it or
actively oppose our effort is a serious drag.
