Simplify your life.
Don’t waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant.
Don’t burden yourself with possessions.
Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have.
Don’t destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past.
Live in the present.
Simplify!
Henry David Thoreau
I’ll be spending today at home. Rest, declutter, read and relax are the words of the day. Potato soup and cornbread are the foods of the day. A backlog of podcasts are the sounds of the day. Warm pjs and fuzzy blankets are the textures of the day.
All these things will weave together to create the day I need. We may get some snow tomorrow so I have some storm prep to do in case the electricity goes. This is a worry when you live in wooded rural America.
But I won’t worry today. I’ll relish in the simplicity of my day. I hope you relish in yours as well.
Wise words! Thank you for sharing the quote and your fabulous photo!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope the quote will inspire you.
“Don’t destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past.”
That is the key part of this quote to me. Ruminating on things I can’t change will be the death of me!
Hope you had a wonderful, cozy day.
Haha. Let it go. Whatever it is.
There’s no point in allowing the unchangeable to ruin our day.
Perfect wisdom for this time of the year – do enjoy!
You too!! I am so excited we expect some winter weather tomorrow!
Here in Texas, it will be cold too!
How cold will it be there?
In the twenties at night, but for Texas that is cold!
Brr. That is cold for you!
Oh gosh, it’s insane how much time I spend just going through and organizing my stuff sometimes!
I hear that. Why do we do this to ourselves?
I know. It’s a sign (and sickness) that I have too much stuff!
It’s an epidemic in my country, this accumulation of stuff.
It’s the same here in Canada too!
Sigh. We are in good company.
