Simply, Simple

With a New Year, comes a renewed dedication

to keeping life simple.

Show me where

the simple life

lies and let me

find it and live it

And let it be the

way I live so that

each day becomes

a carefree voyage on a calm sea…

Mindful, beautiful every

day a mindful trip around the joys

of all life’s small and simple things.

So in 2025, be the navigator

of your own each day.

Let the storms blow around you,

as your day unwinds as slow,

richly, tenderly, or

preciously as you want.

By making everything, each

smile, each gesture, touch, each

thought, breath and sighting count

in both large and small amounts.

And most of all, give thanks

to a life where less (of everything)

is always more.

Happy Peaceful New Year.

A few things that count:

Spending time with a different generation.
Being immersed in a pastime.
Breaking your schedules
Whistling as your work (or walk)
Going away for the night
Planning a weekend road trip
Wild swimming (or cold water showers)
Spontaeous gestures of love and affection
Puddle jumping/Snowball fights
Smiling at strangers.
Doing less of things that bug you and more of things that don’t.
