dancing

Today I danced...by myself...in my little room...and it made me so happy.

Today I sat in silence...I love that...listening.

Today I saw a giant mushroom...with a straw inside of it...it was weird...we named it Jose.

Today I appreciated my friends...we are all different...and beautiful...and thoughtful...and God created each of us.

Today I read God's words to me...he spoke truth...he is truth... isn't that amazing...I don't understand it but I do believe it.

Why are we always trying to complicate things? Make them bigger...grander. I really hate that. I would say that the majority of my life has been drama free, which I think is a result of this extreme sense of practicality that I have been discovering more and more in myself recently. Today I was thinking about this practicality, sometimes I like to think of it as common sense, and I realized that God blessed me when he made me into his "common sense daughter". Don't get me wrong, I do think there are moments in life that practicality should be thrown out the window. However, I do believe this common sense (or whatever you want to call it) has allowed me to fade out insignificant details at times so that most of what is left is simple, uncomplicated, and obvious. I tell you all of this to emphasize my true passion for simplicity at its finest. I know, I know...who doesn't love simplicity?. Simplicity is not a new and exciting topic. But it is a reoccurring theme in my life that I love to share with others. So here are a few moments that promote my love for simplicity at it's finest.
1. I found my dad's love letters to my mom, while i was exploring a old dusty wardrobe in a corner of my basement. (my basement is a never ending treasure trove)
2. I held my niece as she laid her head on my shoulder and sucked her thumb.
3. I took ran through a pasture in the snow with three dogs.
4. I talked about God's direction with my dad as we built fence together.
