As
the year to comes to close I think about all the things that we over complicate.
I decided this year I just wanted lights on my Christmas tree, putting lots of
stuff on the tree just seemed too much. Normally I would have planned out a meal
for Christmas day starting with breakfast to dinner. I am kind of goodie in
that food is expression of who you are. It involves the senses, your heart and
the joy of sharing it with family or others that are close to you. I decided
that to keep it simple, in that fact, that I would not necessarily go out
purchase all this extra stuff to make it more than just spending time with
family or friends. We attend to forget that it the simple things that we want
in our lives. We all have been pushed to face things this year that test the
very core of who we are and how we feel about things. Wondering what is next
because watching the news disheartening, yet I can go outside to nature or look
out the window and see none of that. I see and feel people’s reaction. All the
while questioning where this is going and what are choices for me to not be in
the throws of other people's behavior of fear or my own. So, in keeping it
simple I am not focused on what is out there. I don’t need to address all these
other factors, it may seem cold, but I have enough of own concerns and a keeping
positive outlook verses what is portrayed. So simple is what it is, and I am ok
with that and grateful that I know what is important to me.
