Simplicity

The older I get, the more I see & realize that being simple honestly is a great way to have a more enjoyable life. Sometimes just taking a walk outside & leaving the cellphone in the house does wonders. Reading a book or writing a REAL letter instead of playing a computer or video game. Having a fishing pole in your hands or binoculars for bird watching instead of the phone or any other electronic device. Point is, technology is good in some respects, but we have allowed it to steal away life’s simple pleasures & God’s gifts to us. The more I focus on these simple pleasures, the more enjoyable life seems to be & the happier I feel. Try it sometime. You won’t want to stop.
