Its the Simple things that matter

The other day I had a bit of a scare which put all my projects on hold for a couple of days. It shook me up a bit and as can often happen, I started to evaluated what is really important in my life - Health, Family, Love, Friends, Fun and enjoying the simple things. Why has our world become so busy and complicated. Oh I know a good many of us go for walks and take trips out in the country, but how many people today really stop and look at all the beauty this world is providing for us. Do you stop and smell the roses, look at somebody you don't know and smile at them, not just a smile of the lips but one that goes all the way up to your eyes and comes from the soul, are you "WHO" you want to be? My journey for the past couple of years has been all about health and living a more simplistic lifestyle and although it hasn't fitted in with most conventional ideas, it is where we are as a family and we are content with that. We are close to instigating the next stage of our journey which is very exciting and long awaited but we are not quite ready yet and just need to remind ourselves it is THE SIMPLE THINGS that are important to us. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful husband, son and family and I realise that the things mother earth provides us with are very important and worthwhile to this life.
