It’s time for a disclaimer.
I am not living life in any kind of perfect zen-ness.
I fight the same things you do.
It is so easy to fall back into complicated living and especially complicated thinking.
I do have more moments than not, however, when I feel a sense of peace and gratitude that I enjoy simple living.
I truly enjoy it.
I know what that looks like , and I know you do too.
That in itself simplifies things, doesn’t it?
So your homework today (yes, I said homework- see Day 1), is to write your list.
What do you enjoy?
What gives you that sense of peace and calm (and fun!) more than anything else?
Here are a few things on my list:
Watching college football on television with my husband.
Planning what to cook for college football watching.
Doing things with my daughters- especially exploring for treasures.
Sitting in a ballpark watching my grandsons play baseball.
Saying ‘whatever you want’ when they ask me what’s for breakfast.
Going to the flea market with my trusty cart and a cup of Chick Fil A coffee.
Now write yours!
Thank you for stopping by my blog. You have a wonderful blog. It made me so happy to read what you said.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your words so much and feel so uplifted. Thank you.
Laura- I wonder sometimes why we complicate our lives with things that don't really matter...or why we fight against something that is, ultimately, inevitable.
ReplyDeleteI really have a hard time relaxing and just "being" sometimes...and I know I need to do more of that.
Great post! Have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
I needed to read this today. Day 3 of my 31 days... I tend to complicate things! I enjoy simple living... but I simply have a hard time doing it!
ReplyDeleteI'm notorious for making lists...and then holding myself to them.
