Simplifying life

The older I get, the more I like simplifying my life. At first, I fought this concept as a way of allowing more peace in my life. Today, whenever I am having a grouchy day or I am out of sorts, it is the days that I remember to see the beauty in simple things that I return to a feeling of grace and ease. Simple things, hearing children laugh, reading a great book or watching an intriguing movie, trying a new food, and just relaxing. Most likely I am a type A personality and love having many things going at one time, but yet, in the quiet simple breaths of my life is when I feel the most connected with my strengths. Simple strength, it is what takes me through each of my challenges in my life. I just have to take a quiet breath and remember it is there.
