Simplifying when my life didn't choose to be simple

When the new year rolls around it always brings about thoughts of how I will make this year better than the last.  I come up with these goals that last for a few weeks and then I slow stop going to the gym, my diet goes down the drain, and then I fall back into my old habits.  This year for me is going to be all about simplifying, organizing, and doing better by our money.  At the beginning of 2017, I had 3 paid jobs and one volunteer job I did every week.    I for some insane reason purposely filled my life and days up to the max when I didn't need to.  I felt a weird sense of satisfaction being able to multi-task and handle so many things going on.  I have come to my senses and realized I was going down a path that was not good.  I have kicked off my new simple life by quitting one of my three paid jobs and I passed the baton on for my volunteer job.  God had been tugging at my heart ever since we came back from Franklin, TN over Christmas break to let go of this particular paid job.  Almost 4 years of multiple job juggling it had become more of a headache than the joy it started out and the freedom I felt when turning in my two weeks notice confirmed why it was needed.  I bought a shirt on Etsy that says "She designed a life she loved" and I intend on taking steps this year to get me there.
