Simplicitites

"Year by year the complexities of this spinning world 

grow more bewildering and so each year we need all the more

to seek peace and comfort in the joyful simplicities."

~Women's Home Companion, December 1935~

Simple things...

 The moment of shift.

 From rush to a long pause,

 as I wait for some random chicken to cross the road.

Little boy giggles over T-rex arms, and horse poop.

Singing along to Abba as we walk around the arena.

Taking the long way home on country roads,

just me and my camera.

Brandon laughing on the phone, as he recapped his

snowmaggedon experience at the local market.

Struggling with a decision. Praying about it.

And Hubby walking in, answering the question

I didn't even ask.

The heat in the old farm truck as we roll hay out for the cows in the snow,

a mug of hot tea,

and getting a call from my Dad.

be well...

'Here's the thing about joy:

You can't catch it, or manufacture it.

You can only experience it.

It will never trespass nor arrive uninvited.

It loves to be welcomed & will leave 

if only it is being ignored.'

" 11 Rules of Inner Peace:

Stay honest

Heal your past

Let go of tension

Be kind and giving

Speak your boundaries

Pause instead of reacting

Connect with good friends

Live in the present moment

Maintain a grateful mindset

Don't get attached to drama

Be flexible, change is inevitable."
