I've always wanted to freeze the world for a week so that I could play catch up...just like Zack used to do on "Saved By the Bell" (for those of us born in the 80s). I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not as I know sometimes we just enjoy busyness.
I so yourn for the life of simplicity...I know that simplicity is something I have to work hard at and yet it frustrates me as I watch it come more natural to others. I'm learning that for me, simplicity is about self discipline and not "over committing". Its about choosing to be true to myself by keeping my goal in mind....
Even so, I'm learning a few lessons about simplicity I'd like to share:
-Less stuff, means less upkeep
-Becoming a low maintenance woman is way easier than keeping up a completely polished look
-Slowing down means enjoying more of the little things I've failed to indulge in (like spending some time with my 84 year old Grandmother)
-Having time to day dream is so wonderful (check out nicochic (link on my page) for a daydreaming post)
-Laying in the grass daily has become a must as I feel connected with the earth and somehow rejuvenated after each "grass session"
I'd love to hear about ways you simplify your life. Please post your comments so that I can learn as well as the other readers.
Happy Monday!!

I love your grass session, I look forward to trying it. Enjoying nature offers a calm and peace that often can't be found in our busy everyday lives. Keeping it simple can be harder to achieve than it sounds, but definitely attainable. I believe that if you take one day at a time, find humor in the quirky antics of people and don't get too caught up in the future, life can be simpler and more fulfilling. Like one of those old sayings "slow down and smell the roses" , life can be so sweet if we just slow down.
