What can you live without?

In an effort to simplify our lives and hence reduce stress, it is important to determine what clutters our lives.  When we can do this, we can start clearing the clutter; learn to say no to temptations and then see a simpler life unfold.

Many people wonder how I can live without a microwave.  Fair question as most people are unable to cook three times a day.  I cook every few days and I place meals in containers.  When I need to I use my stove to heat up the meal.  I however, am incapable of eating the same meal three times and I loathe the concept of frozen food.  So simple decision for me

Another item that I can certainly live without is a dryer.  I can't understand why people who live in the tropics need a dryer.  It takes an hour, tops, to dry clothes on a line.  And nothing beats the scent of fresh air-dried clothes.  Maybe except for cut grass.
