I got to walk around an outside nursery today.  I could feel the sun on my legs, smell the wood bark and flowering plants, and the colors of all the living things filled my senses.  I love summer!

And I am reminded again of the very simple pleasures in life being so satisfying and real. 

What keeps us from enjoying those simple things? Those things that don’t cost anything and are available to everyone?

For me, it is the hustle and hurry.  The thinking and introspection that goes on too long. It’s trying to work out a problem when it’s time to put it away for awhile and get my second wind by just breathing. Just breathing is such good therapy isn’t it?

I hope you are ready to create a summer of simplicity. It won’t happen without determining to loosen up and enjoy every small moment as it comes!

Love always,

Jacque
