I think simplicity is the key to happiness, boiling it down to what is truly important. A smile, some sun and a bit of laughter always make my day simpler.
I couldn't agree more. My son wanted to sit and chat with me the other day. He's 16 years old so he has a hundred other things he could do. We had a nice chat and it made my day.
I am working pretty hard to incorporate more visual simplicity in my life. It takes time, though -- after all, the clutter of everyday living is ubiquitous.
I am aR.N. and work with the indigent....I wish I could tell you how much these simple things mean to them...and also when they return these small things to me...it is a pleasure and an privledge to do this work...I keep going even at 68 yrs...it is beyond rewarding....so again let me say...we must share these simple human acts with everyone

ReplyDeleteI love doing small kindnesses -- like holding a door open for someone or just waving or smiling. You're right: simplicity rules.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. A small act of kindness means a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt is as simple as that. I like to give a friendly smile to an unnknown friend because I never know what kind of day that person is having. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWell said!
