Thank you for posting this. Sometimes it's hard for me to keep focused on the importance of living my life simply and authentically. I want to reach for grand gestures because they seem more important, but I realized long ago that I was the only one who could change my life into something more sustainable and authentic. Talk is great, but changing daily routine is far better. I totally agree with you. Thank you for posting this.

I have a hard time doing many things that I think need to be done because, collectively, they are overwhelming.

I already knew I should look for what I could do to move in the right direction, but I felt guilty when I blew things off. Now...no. Now I can just be happy to do what I can, knowing the rest may come later or may not but I'm still doing better. It's not futile, because it's not just about the individual item (like plastics, or chemicals, or or or...). It's about what it does to my strength also, and I never thought of it quite that way.<br><br>I hope I can hold to that, at least. Thank you for saying this.
