Living Simply and Simply Living

» ravenfairie - Wnderful Article!

You wrote a wonderful thoughtful article. I loved it very much! And i wanted to tell you that.

You and your sister are correct that so often we get caught up in the 'need to be productive' that we forget to enjoy life. Thank you for the reminder!

» kluke42 - Simple is Good!

I am a big supporter of "keeping it simple". I too have a tendency to get caught up in life, with work, family, school (I have gone back to school for the third time in my life)...and I have to stop sometimes and cherish the little things. I can find peace and joy in the warmth of my blankets, the smell of the coffee brewin, the sunshine shining down....etc. Now that we are having some nicer weather, I have made it a point get my daily dose of sunshine. It is good for you, it has vitamin D, and it gives your skin a healthy glow, and it is still one of the few things in life that is free...what more can you ask? It also represents warmth, peace, a feeling of relaxation....it is truly one thing I can still enjoy. I have also made it a point to read more again, and stimulate my mind instead of just going through day to day business without acknowledging my own self at least a couple times a day. I don't want fancy cars, or big houses, I just want to enjoy what I have, and be able to spend time with my family while I can still do so, because soon enough, they will all be on thier way living thier own lives.
