Shopping Fast Day 6

I'm almost through my first week of no shopping (except for groceries/food) and it's been fun actually. I've had many conversations this week with friends and family about values and finances. Relationships are deeper and minds have been stirred. Hopefully I will have a few people join me in this cleansing of self and a journey toward simplicity. Things I have resisted this week: a movie (even though it was only going to be $1), take-out lunch, and browsing the outlet stores in Osage Beach. Things I have gained this week: more meaningful discussion with friends and family, and a clearer view on what's important. Not bad. :)
