Today as I sit with my wool socks on, sipping a cup of tea....I was reminded of my new years resolution to plan less and stay at home more. As we are well into the third month of the year, I feel like this resolution is ringing true. I have found myself comfy and cozy around the house many days this year wearing my wool socks and sipping tea. We've been taking numerous walks around our neighborhood with Nellie and cooking more dinners in our own kitchen.
I am learning to find happiness in my own surroundings and the familiarity of life. I've striving to be more content with the simple things right in front of me. Life is not all about the GO, GO, GO. There is plenty of time to explore and try new things. Sometimes the best moments in life are the candid ones on your own couch (I think Nellie would agree with this!). In these simple moments I can hear myself think, I take time to pray, and the busy pace of life stops for awhile. I am learning to appreciate the simplicity of staying home and the beautiful things that God has put right in front of me and around me.
What is something simple that you have found beauty in today?
Love this post! Such a good lesson that I am always learning again and again!!
