Simplify.... ?
Sunday...new week, start of a new work week. Hopefully also a week when I will once again start going to bed and getting up at reasonable times before I start resembling a Walking Dead character. I look forward to Sundays for my weekly horoscope from a couple different sources. In addition to my daily and weekly horoscopes that I truly do not believe, but am always amused by, I get my inspirational messages (my daily truths, my messages from the universe, you can say) delivered to my inbox (no wonder there are usually 10s of thousands of messages in my inbox...) So, every once in awhile (read: every other day) a message comes through that I know was written specifically to ME! I'm sure that the zillion other people that get these "personal" messages will just look at it and hit DELETE while I sit there and say "WOW... they nailed it... that's me...")
So there is this... a message that has been hitting me squarely in the face for some time now.... reinforced by friends and co-workers, and even hinted (ha! did I say HINTED? I was being kind!!) by you guys here....
"You can do amazing things with the simplest things. You can have so little and be so happy. You can take small amounts of time and perform life-changing acts.
Is it time to simplify? Is it time to pare your life down to the handful of things that mean the most to you, and let the rest go so that . . . you can give the very best of yourself to the very best things . . . instead of being spread in a too-thin layer all over the place?
Your heart knows when it's time, and you will have the strength to do it. And best of all you will see enormous changes happen in your life when you let the unimportant things go and embrace the things that quietly sustain you and bring you joy.
It may not look like the most glamorous life, but it is one filled with joy, peace and harmony . . . one where laughter is a welcome and frequent companion . . . one where worries are few and where long meaningful conversations are many . . . one that is waiting for you when you are ready to take the steps to get there.
Simplify today, one little thing at time. You can do it. "
Simplify? Yeah... I know it's over due. I can do it? Hmmmm.... not sure. It's hard. I'm trying.
(*sorry...sometimes I write these things as reminders to myself!When they are here, I know where to find them!)
