Finding Delight in Simple Things


The motto at Saint Mary's Hall- the girls' boarding school in San Antonio I attended for four years and graduated from was
                   
Teach Us to Delight in Simple Things



That was and never has been a hard concept for me to grasp.

I think it was in my DNA when I was born.

And so jump ahead many , many years from that graduation date to this blog White Spray Paint that I created long ago , and my tag line says it all. 

Here at White Spray Paint I share how I enjoy

Finding Delight in Simple Things.

Now please don't misunderstand.

This message of simple things is not about minimalism.

I do love simple things- all dolled up that is:)

And I may have used the expression 'more is more' a time or two in my life.

But this current holiday season reminds me of what this all means to me.



And so what does finding delight in simple things look like in my daily life?

Yesterday was a perfect example.

I woke up at 4:00 am ( a quirk in getting older), and I fixed a cup of my favorite coffee- Wal Mart's Colombian . 

I had several cups while sitting on my closet floor and sorting through my shoes.  

Everything hurts my feet these days (another quirk in getting older), but sorting my hurting shoes into donate piles felt right.

I was hungry around 6:00 am so I cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast. My husband was pleasantly shocked when he woke up later to a big breakfast.

And then the fun began.

A garage door repairman was due to arrive to replace our garage door opener , but first the garage needed to be emptied.

His words when he came by for an estimate may have included 
'M'am...I can't get to the garage door opener to replace it...'.

I hired two men that have worked for us many times to empty the garage because I just can't lift heavy things like I used to (another painful quirk in getting older- with the positive benefit of hiring someone).

And so the day went.

Days like this really make me happy.

I got to speak in Spanish , I laughed at what was found in the garage, I drank lots of icy cold Diet Orange Crushes that were in the garage refrigerator, and we were all working hard.

What a great day it was- for me and my personality-finding delight in simple things.

  5. It is so important to find the good and positive in everything we do....if we don't, life will certainly drag us down. BTW, I also just ditched a bunch of shoes, too, for the same reason!!

  6. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you create a life with simplicity. It's also so very sad that our feet betray us as we age...

  7. The life we live today has become a true rat race that we forget to stop and “find delight in simple things.” It’s true as I’ve gotten older that we need to embrace simple things, tasks,moments to live in peace. I’ve learned from you a very valuable lesson but ‘ more is better’ is cool at times too!!! Love the pumpkins!

  14. Great post Laura. My motto for my blog and for my life is, "It's the simple things in life that bring the greatest pleasures". And oh is that so very true for me. I do enjoy the extra perks in life for sure but it's in those simple moments of times that I truly feel so very blessed and thankful. Happy Thanksgiving dear Laura. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  15. Great post! I think finding delight in simple things is a benefit of aging. We now have more time to do things, because we simply can’t do them as fast as when we were younger. That’s my reasoning at least for taking my time these days. Happy Thanksgiving! ;)

  21. a lot of scammers have infiltrated the online space as it is becoming increasingly hard to hire a hacker.
    i had to take the risk of using thor browser to surf the dark web via duckduckgo before i was able to come in contact with vladimir kolarov of thehackerspro . com
    who eventually helped me to infiltrate my wifes phone and her work email and he was quite more expensive than the others i contacted earlier.
    while we couldnt find anything incriminating he went ahead to hack her work database and it was there we found out shes been cheating with her boss
    but they only communicate through her office email. shameful.

  38. This is for anyone seeking to recover their data or funds lost to scammers on the internet. I sent out $132,000.00 worth of BTC to this broker named E29  Crypto Marketers. My experience was a good business proposal turned sour. l was added to a crypto learning and trading group on Telegram. I thought it was real, unfortunately, they are like other fraudsters found on the internet and online romance apps, I only knew about their fraudulent activities after losing my investment to E-29 marketers. l would have lost all my invested funds to this online scam scheme. with the quick help of these professionals in reclaiming stolen money. I found their reviews on Google, After my research about them, I concluded they were the perfect recovery expert to hire to recover my stolen cryptos. I never regret coming in contact with CYBER GENIE HACK PRO team.
