A few months back I found myself sitting on the couch in my Nana’s house in FL just watching my Daddy sleep. Watching his chest rise and fall like a rolling sea tide made me think about just how much I love simple things.
Simplicity is such a beautiful thing to me. I find such beauty in what the world sees as mundane. Talking to someone who truly understands me, listening to a song that stirs my soul, seeing the smile of my children, watching the stars dance across the night sky, watching the moon mirror itself in the ripples of the water, dancing in the elegance of the falling rain, hearing someone say “thank you.” These are the things that make my heart smile.
Then, there are those simple things that just make everything feel right in the world. Like….
- When all the socks have a partner upon coming out of the dryer- because I hate spending my Friday nights chaperoning the singles club for widowed socks.
- When you just make the last ½ second of the yellow light before it turns red- you look back in your rearview mirror and see those people that got stopped by ol’ red and you’re like YES! I made it.
- That feeling after you finish a killer workout- you know what I’m talking about, when you step off the treadmill and instantly feel 10 pounds thinner and walk out like a boss.
- When your bra and panties match- nothing says you’ve got it all together in life like when your unmentionables coordinate with your outfit…because everybody sees this right?
Yes, I love simple things and the simple pleasures of life, but what about life itself? Is it simple?

Life is simple, but we, precious little people, come along and complicate it. We come strutting in with all of our self-righteousness and vain glory and make a mess out of this thing we call life. We complain when we should be grateful, we spend what we don’t have, we take what is not ours, we try to impress when we should embrace, we worry when we should trust and we fear when we should have faith.
Perspective, by definition, is the capacity to view things in their true relation or relative importance. Take a second and ponder on that definition. I mean it, really let it sink in! When I did it, when I really let my feeble little brain grasp what this meant; I found that my perspective has been clouded by my own selfishness and opinion instead of the “true relation” of what life really is.
Life is what it is. And it will always be what you make it. Simple? Complicated? It’s your choice.
Blessings,
Sasha
