A Fresh Perspective

Recently I read an article about simple living. Of course the article was all about eating organic, giving up T.V., and withdrawing from society. While giving up the comforts of life is not my idea of a good time, the overall idea of taking time to enjoy what people consider the "simple things" of life, did. Being a mom, wife and working 30 hours a week makes it difficult to take time for anything. So I have decided to devote my free time to things I consider "simple" (reading, gardening, eating healthy).  Why am I ultimately doing this? Because these are the activities that give me the most joy in life.  I am most happy sitting on the floor playing with my daughter or taking a walk with my husband while he pushes our daughter in the stroller. So here I go starting my journey to a more "simple" way of life and devoting my time and efforts to something other than sitting in front of the T.V. with a bag of chips =)
