Homesteading Mindset ...

My comment today from Bobby Tall Horse got me to thinking about homesteading ... and when I went off and did a little research, I found this blog, which pulls together the ideas of simple living and homesteading.

I guess there's not much actual "homesteading" going on anymore like there was back in frontier days - when free land was available and all you had to do was agree to work it. Today, when someone speaks of homesteading, they usually just mean "self-sustained living" ... growing your own food, etc.

What can you do in your own life that would move you closer to a "homesteading mindset?" Grow your own garden (even a tomato plant in a pot counts!!), sew your own clothing, can or freeze food. Any step you can make toward simplifying your life in these ways will most certainly make you a happier soul!

Right in the middle of our urban chaos, we can carve out a small little "homestead", even if only in our mind, and make our lives so much richer by so doing.

Thanks for being here and now.
