Simplicity

Good morning bloggers.

You know what? Sometimes it's the little things that make your whole day. Or week for that matter. Honestly it's almost always the little things that make your day.

My wife and I truly live a fairly simple lifestyle. We both have gotten off of all social media. I write this blog and that's about it. So no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Snap Chat. None of it. We do not have cable which mean we honestly don't watch a lot of TV. We will watch the occasional show on Net-Flex or football on Sundays. But otherwise nothing. What we do have and what we do enjoy is the Radio, and Books. 

Most nights my wife and I will get home from work. Shower, eat dinner and then just sit and talk. I truly believe that talking in relationships is what keeps people together. I think that one of the reasons so many people split up in today's world is because everyone is so distracted with media and other things that they forget to talk to their spouse. I mean, think about it. Sure there were things to distract people back in the day. But nothing to the degree that we have now days. Just look around next time you're out and about. You will see just about everyone starring down at their phones. Not talking. Not engaging. Especially if you go out to lunch or dinner. People sitting at the table across from their loved ones just looking into their phones.

My wife and I after we got home from work last night and had dinner, Sat down in the living-room with no TV. We played some music and talked about books for two and a half hours. We are both passionate readers and enjoy the hell out of books. We talked and talked and finally I looked up at the clock and realized how much time had passed. I remember sitting there thinking to myself how much I love this about our life. Just sitting in our home with my amazing wife, Talking. And taking in everything she has to say. These warm conversations are something that I wouldn't miss for anything else.

So my advice to everyone reading, is to take some time out of your normal busy day. And find some simplicity. The more you simplify your life that happier you will be.

Thank you all for reading. I always appreciate it.

Have a wonderful day.
