I really have nothing profound to say. Really. It's true. I've been sitting here, staring at the screen, with not much on my mind. I had a full day of every day weekend stuff - cooking, cleaning, volunteering at the animal shelter, a ladies night cancer fundraiser with friends - and I am just tired.
There's something to be said to the simplicity of everyday life. I watched an interview today with Sean Penn in Haiti, two years since an earthquake destroyed Port of Prince. It was like being slapped with a reminder of gratitude for the simplicity of our every day lives. I am sitting here, typing on my lap top, sitting in my chair, in a warm house, in a fuzzy sweater, secure in my health, safety, and comforts. For every one of my comforts, I am grateful. I am grateful for the simplicity I normally take for granted. I mean, really, that's the whole point of this blog right?
I have running water - and I am grateful. My children are here with me, and I am grateful. I have food and clothes, and a job, and furniture and pets. I have the ability to have a simplistic, happy life. I am grateful I know better than to be ungrateful. Well, would you look at that... I had something profound hiding in there all along.
It's all about the everyday simplicity, home safe home, and realization.
