Living simply is about choice and intention; it’s about choosing what you bring into your home and life.
Living simply is about letting go of the things that don’t hold meaning for you; it’s about creating space to breathe and to choose what you most value.
Living simply is about finding clarity; it’s about seeking presence in the moment over future outcomes and results.
Living simply is about choice and intention; it’s about living fully in this moment, not rushing towards the next.
Often, when we think of gratitude, we focus on the many things or opportunities in our lives that we are grateful for.
But what if we could only choose three “things” that we are most grateful for? What would you choose?
Sure, I am grateful for the pencil, eraser, and piece of paper I used to initially write these thoughts down with. I am also grateful for the sun, wind, and soil.
Loved ones, meaningful conversation, and even just some semblance of financial comfort are also things I have great appreciation for.
But I am most grateful for a mindset of hope, the capacity for love, and the sense of calm felt in the stillness of a moment.
All for me are integrally tied to faith and connection. And all are things I can, and must, seek to cultivate.
Finding, reflecting on, and sitting with the hope, love, and stillness I experience and intentionally search out each day, for me, makes a practice of gratitude even more meaningful.
There’s a simplicity to it. And a participation in it.
Many other things I am grateful for are extensions of these three things.
