My blogging posts and photos are part of me . I think of this as a scrapbook of my life. The names have not been changed.. they are real people who have crossed my path along my journey. Some I know intimately, my family and friends. If their names are mentioned it's a sure sign they are special to me and I love them dearly...come along see for yourself, perhaps you know some of them too..

Simplicity



It has been said that "Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough." ~Author Unknown


To live simply is not an easy task. I think often that I too must think and live more simply. I have made a list of simple pleasures and realise how much I have in my life. The New Year is here and as I think about the things I'd like to do this year,  the changes I'd like to see and the goals I want to acheive. My list is not a simple list, It involves others and they too have their lists to do...so I will start with me because I know me best.
I did not make a New Years  Resolution to lose pounds and inches, if it happens it will be because I have simplified my eating habits. I am working on a Simple exercise program and do plan to spend 30 minutes each morning working out on it. I will try to drink more water... to not stress out about the small stuff that I have no control over. To laugh more at my shortcomings, and to allow myself time to experience new things. To trust my instincts and to meditate by scheduling 5 minutes of stillness and silence twice a day and most important to remember to Breathe...
These are a few Simple things I am thinking about as I sit quietly. I think I can be successful carrying just this much baggage....
