Pondering a Life of Simple Abundance

What does it mean to live a life of simple abundance? Jesus said "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." A life of simple abundance is a life filled with the essentials and not cluttered with things that steal our joy.
When I have a life of simple abundance: My spirit is calm and peaceful; I am productive and effective; I am connected to my creator; I have meaningful, healthy relationships with other people; My life has purpose and meaning; My environment, schedule and work habits are not hindered by clutter and chaos.

To more fully understand the topic of this blog let's define a few words:

  •    Ponder - To wonder, to think of deeply; To consider carefully and thoroughly.
  •    Essential - Absolutely necessary; basic and fundamental, of the greatest importance.
  •    Simple - Having few parts; not cluttered, complex, or involved.
  •    Abundance - More than enough, overflowingly sufficient; richly supplied.

 You are welcome to join the discussion and post your own ponderings as well. (within the topic and guidelines)

Quality and Prices

What is the best value? Is it better to buy a single quality item or have a few inexpensive items?  One way to figure the cost is to look at cost per month over the expected lifetime of an item. If item 'A' costs $120 and item 'B' costs $60 which is the better value? If they will last the same amount of time item 'B' is a better value. However, over the life of the item if item 'A' will last 10 years the cost per month is $1. If item 'B' will last 4 years the cost per month is $1.25. Therefore item 'A' would be the better value.
