"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
~Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Sometimes less is more and plain is just right…..Plain and simple.
Someone once told me that I lived too simple…..
I told him he needed to try it sometime!
I told him he needed to try it sometime!
But….he knows all those Jones;
you know the Jones people try to keep up with!
you know the Jones people try to keep up with!
It’s simply a matter of straightforward choice, simply a matter of minimal taste, simply a matter of easy living. It’s really quite effortless.
Plain and simple is simplicity.
Plain and simple is simplicity.
Where I find simplicity:
In quiet times~silence is golden
Doing without~it’s possible
Talking~over a cup of tea
Listening~is doing something for others
Thinking~is thoughtful
Snuggling~doesn’t cost a thing
Having less~our needs versus our wants
Time spent with loved ones~while doing nothing
A kitten’s purr~sweet nothings
Laughing~is priceless
Love~its effortless
Homemade~simplicity that is heartfelt
