A Lesson in Simplicity




Tonight M, Little Miss B and I went for a sweet little bike ride in the park with our dinner. Unfortunately though my mood was less than pleasant after a not-so-great afternoon meeting and to be honest, I was putting a huge damper on our evening. And across the park I noticed an elderly couple sitting on a park bench, enjoying their evening. The man was drawing on a sketchpad or writing on a pad of paper and his wife was reading her book. They were in the middle of the green field and seemed to just be enjoying their time. Separately but together.

It was a nice reminder that sometimes life needs a little break. We need to slow down. Take a breather and not stress out so much. Life is precious and it flies by. So with that, I took a deep breath and changed my attitude, enjoyed our picnic and fell deeply in love with my husband and babygirl for the 5012839128182783190839817th time as they swung and played together on the playground. How much more simpler can it get than that?
