How come every time I get fired up to do something life seems to happen. Yesterday I got my bag of clothes to my charity and today I woke up sick. Then because of that, I forgot an eye appointment for our son. All my plans to get things done today and get another bag started to get out of my house came to a screeching halt. I wanted to get some cleaning done, so that I can get on top of that part of my life too. Simplicity takes a lot of work it seems.
However...
it caused me to slow down. Isn't that what simplicity means? Slow down and take time. It is not just learning how to pare down or become more self-sufficient, but to slow down and enjoy the life you have. I have spent some time on the internet and watched a movie. I am going to start re-reading Eclipse before the movie comes out in June. My son has planned a movie night and pizza with me and my mom here, so it will be a relaxing evening too.
So even though I'm sick, I am learning to slow down.
