Do you live in your dream home?
I would strive to live more simply. For real. Several years ago, my theme word for the year was "Simplify". I focused mainly on eliminating things from the house that we didn't use, love or need. It took me all year to go through every nook and cranny in this tiny house. It felt pretty good. The past few years my theme words haven't been as impressive and, some days, I feel like I'm getting swallowed up into all the things I think I need to be doing to "fix" areas in the house. I recently read an article at Holy Spirit-Led Homeschool on this very topic:

Thanks for sharing this article. It really is true. We have moved a lot and lived in a lot of different places that were not our favorites...by any stretch of the imagination. But God has been in it all the way. And if God has us some place, He knows what He's doing, even if we don't. Even now, in our new house (which we love, but wasn't custom-built), there are a few things I wish I could change. Such is always the case. If we never strive to be happy where we are, we never will be.
