It occured to me that simple may be slightly different to each person. I looked up "simple" in the dictionary and the definition is anything but!! I am going to focus my efforts on this portion of the definition:
not elaborate or artificial; plain; not complex or compound
I want the basics in life before "life" took over. You know, the endless activities, gatherings, parties and running around. I don't want to feel rushed or short on time anymore. I want to fully enjoy the things that we choose to do. Simple.
Reflecting on my weekend... it was simple. Saturday could have been crazy, if we allowed ourselves to feel that way. We scaled back and my middle dd went to dance and my oldest dd went to a skating party. I was able to incorporate 2 necessary errands with the party and our carpool drove to dance. Other than that... we hung out here at home. Our youngest dd even took a nap! Sunday was more hanging out at home. I did spend close to 2 hours in the basement and as a result I have a HUGE amount of "stuff" to donate to charity. I also had 2 large trash bags of pieces parts that didn't really go with anything anymore. Lesson learned... we don't need the toys with hundres of pieces parts - ugh! Now I need to organize the donations, list them and photograph them for tax purposes. Then it can all go - my goal is to have it out of the house by Friday.
We are in the middle of a warm spell - woohoo! Heat is off during the day, windows are open and at night the house is still over 70 degrees from letting the sunshine pour in through the windows. It feels good to save energy in the middle of winter. One 1 or 2 more days of it though and then it appears that winter will return. I plan to take advantage of it while I can :) Actually, my youngest dd and I are headed out for a walk... time to soak up that Vitamin D!!!!
