[saturday evening after a little rain shower!]
and oh, i’ve been needing it extra these days!! i’m sooo craving more simplicity in life… meanwhile everything just seems to get more and more complicated! because… that’s life, yes? 😉
i mean, for every one item you let go of, there are 10 more things you “need,” a million fabulous sales, birthdays, holidays, and then a handful of reasons not to donate old stuff just anywhere because then it could still likely end up in a landfill…
for every one house issue tackled, there are always more to address… [and something probably waiting to break on your car, lets be real, ha!]
for every super healthy health decision made, there’s something being ingested that’s totally secretly poisonous… geez.
and for every unsubscribed email list… oh my lawdy! haha!! it never ends.
so, normally my answer to it all is easily… mooore coffee! oooh, coffee, you warm, wonderful mug of delight and motivation, you!
but then, when i get too caught up in every darn detail of every little thing… i have to just stop. and remind myself of where i’m happiest. where i’m most at peace. where life is as simple as it gets…
outside. barefoot. with creatures that are perfectly content to have food, water, and love. they wouldn’t know complicated if they tried… and neither would my sweet, innocent mini-humans, frolicking through the grass, just as their precious little legs were made to do!
now, that’s life. 🙂
come at me, monday!!! i’m happy. i’m refreshed. i’m coffeed! the sun is shining… and i’m ready to jump in it.
amen. amen. AMEN.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. So Leonardo da Vinci said. 🙂
Keep living the sweet simple life!
oh i love that!!! did not know he said that! i am all for it, leo. 🙂
This made me so refreshing just reading it and the unsubscribed e-mail comment made me laugh! xox LOVE this and the simple things in life!

Just scrolling through these photos gives me such a sense of happiness and peace. What a lovely life your children have! Such a wonderful place to grow up and play and just live. and the memories made! There's nothing complicated about that!
oooh i am so glad! thank you!! that was my aim!! and they sure love it so much, fresh air and nature and all that… it always reminds me of what's important and how we are meant to live and love and savor. 🙂
