Simplicity

DAY 2:  A Simple Gift

Birthdays.

I love giving gifts.

The thought behind it.

The search.

The handwritten note.

The presentation.

I love the whole process.

Now that I'm having to live life on the frugal edge.

I decided to send my dad some seeds for his garden.

Of course his real gift is our annual birthday poem.

Each year we send each other a poem.

It's my favorite gift.

The most thoughtful ones are always my fav.

It's simple but completely from me and my heart.

I'm sitting here on the sofa today.

Listening to the wind chimes and snacking on homemade chocolate icing.

I was too lazy to actually bake last night.

BUT I wanted something sweet and icing is sooo easy...

I have off on Mondays currently.

And I'm feeling out of sorts today.

It's hard to enjoy my "downtime" when I need to bring in more money to live.

Anyway.

I'm strong.

I've got this.

I just am having a hard time today.

And simplicity is so important right now.

Less crap.

More focus on real.

I've got this.
