August Break #7

There is a meme going around this month titled August Break.  I noted it at Tracy's blog, so I thought, "Hmmm, why not?  It's August."
Of course I've missed the first six days, so I'm jumping in at day #7.  Maybe I'll go back and catch up; maybe not.

Day #7 is:  five things about me.

1.  This one isn't a secret.  I like to knit.  A lot.  All the time.  Every day.

2.  I am a simple living advocate.  Years ago, I taught a little class in simplicity because people found out I was passionate about simple living.  These days, the simplicity movement has moved to include minimalism.  While people would not refer to me as a minimalist since we own a smallish house and two cars, we certainly own much less than our neighbors.  Our focus is on enjoying our family and all those non price tag things--walks, gardens, beach views.

3.  I am steady and steadfast in my Christian beliefs.  The Westminster Confession states 'Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.'  That's me.

4.  I eat a whole food, plant based diet.  Cuz I want to live a long time and watch my grandkids graduate from college.  That's why I exercise, too.

5.  I am not afraid of spiders.  Or cockroaches.  I used to be scared of worms, but I'm not any more.  Snakes I'm a bit wary of.
