My sister wading out, Kiama

Why do we insist on making it complicated? 
Cut out things which don't matter. 
Less consumption. 
Less wanting.
Less worrying, what-if-ing, doubting. 
More learning, experiencing and feeling. 
More living.

That's what I'm hoping to do from now on!

    The best of luck to you on your mission to live simply and enjoy the small things! It's always the small things that make life--would eating be as wonderful as it is without the distinct tastes of food? Would we enjoy warm days at the beach without the tingling sunshine on our skin?

    Life would be so much more simple-er with all those things out of the way! We wouldnt worry/stress so much! But life is complicated for its reasons!
    AMAZING PHOTO BTW :DDDD

    I sooo agree with you. Life is pretty much simple if you do not complicate it artificially. But in way it takes much courage to live simply and just let things be.
    We tend to see life so difficuly but we only don't notice that life is first thing - short. And when you worry - the time still's going by.

    So yes, I'm also willing to take on this challenge! Great post

    Thank you Annie for your wonderful comment on my 'Life is not Unfair' post. I've been meaning to write something as a reply but I'm finding it hard to come up with something that is not annoyingly defensive. I mean not to complicate things and also want to try to make life simple. Though it's pretty hard, I would try. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and you inspire me to do my best to keep my pessimism at bay :)

    I'm working on trying to simplify my life. I don't want to get to the point where the things I have will become the things I had. Lovely post, Annie. :)
