But, it is not just material things that make a Simple Life, it is the way life is lived - that is what I have been forgetting much of the time lately! So, what does a Simple Life "feel" like? I took some time to ruminate on that concept - to try and determine how living a Simple Life would make me feel - what are the thoughts or moods those pictures and words evoke in me?
- Nice, long sigh - contentment - maybe not happiness, but definitely feeling OK in my skin
- Unhurried - not feeling that pressure that is so palpable to me today, like another external force acting on my mind and body
- Calm mind leading to a calm body (this is a big one!) - allowing my mind to pick what it wants to think about and block out or ignore all the chaos that typically overwhelms it - thus helping my body to respond in kind
- A deeper, more loving relationship with Keven and a closer relationship to others I care about.
- Truly being at one with the Earth and at peace with God
