Ahhh, when life was simple. What does that mean exactly? I mean what was so simple, that you can not achieve now? Do you have to milk a cow and make bread everyday, just to eat? Do you have to draw water from a well that you dug by hand, get a new dress only after you have made it and ordered fabric? Life can be easier, choose it. We complicate our own lives. We have so many conveniences now, how much easier do you need? Life saving medication, appliances, any food you want at the store, a store in every block. Uncomplicate your life.
The good old days, not always. You don’t need brand names, not in your food, your clothes, your shoes. You don’t have to keep up with anyone. Is that truly what makes you happy? Do you think you will be accepted or liked more by what you have? If it is, get new people. Look for people that care about you. People stripped of their things that have a big heart. People will talk about what others have like a trophy, who cares? Is that what you will be remembered for? Your things?
Make a list, (already the lists!) so maybe check off in your head who reached out this past year? Who offered you some comfort in hard times? Who talks to your soul with their eyes? Gravitate to those people. Those are the people you need in your life, they make effort. All the money in the world can not buy that. Those are the riches that matter, better yet, be that person. So many are so superficial. Go forth! Love and kindness 2024!
