Simple times..
Simple pleasures..
Simple smilesÖ
Simple laughsÖ
Simple hugsÖ
Simple mealsÖ
Simple giggles..
Simple sillinessÖ
Simple livingÖ
It took awhile before I understoodÖ
It used to be a battleÖ
That I could never winÖ
Rush around to be perfect..
Perfect look, perfect clothes, perfect house..
Get it all done..NOW NOW NOWÖ
Silly me..
Why did I waste so much timeÖ
When it was right in front of meÖ
All it took was a child, and a crazy dog to realize
That the sweetest, most perfect, most awesome, most wonderful things in lifeÖ
Are right there..
See them?
Right there….
My wish for you:
Find yoursÖ

Our Simply Lovely Week:
And she wrote a story..a lovely story of a world of Numphs, Everas, Layus Elves.
Here is the ‘blurb’ she wrote for the back:
“They are all around us but only the warrior can see them and save them from evil. Come and learn the truth. Help the creatures of the land and save them too! We need you. See the world the place where dreams are true. Come let’s go!”
Doesn’t it just make you want to read it right now???!!!† It has 14 chapters and she worked on it all week.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.† ~Confucious
Simply love that robot, simply love that cake, those fairies, that book (yes I would definitely want to read it) and I simply love your wee girlie! She is adorable! thank you for sharing all your joy with us. (I was almost ready to offer you a trade in for a stinky little boy but then I remember I already had three girls so that might be a bit greedy! LOL) Now I am off to read that post all about you as when I popped by last I did not have time to read it all. Hugs xoxox
With all my heart I agree!
I feel this message so deeplyóas you probably already know!óso here we are again, the two of us, connected as always. I too just love looking for the simple, good things. I loved your pics. And I absolutely loved Kei’s story!
I know my boy would enjoy it so much too. If Kei wanted to share the whole thing with us, I’d be so honoured. So, if she was to choose, to be so kind, as to send a copyÖmy email is respectlovelearning@gmail.com. (HINT!!)
(And I owe you an email too, don’t I, my friend, to share our San francisco Stories. I haven’t forgotten! 🙂 )
Great post. I am always learning from you. You make it seem so effortless!
I love, love, love the story that Kei wrote!!!! I love the illustrations and the blurb…what a great project!
Jess; I always look for a quote after I write my post but I identify so strongly with this one. We all search for that something that will be ‘EVERYTHING” and it is right here. 🙂 Glad to help in any way since YOU inspire ME so often.
Did your quote inspire this post? It is so true. Life is simple and yet we mess it up all the time by making it harder than it has to be. Your posts have been really meaningful to me lately. I have taken on more than I can handle outside my home with different groups and I have decided to politely rescind some offers I have made to others. I cannot do everything. I am going to keep what matters most to me and gently back out of things that are not a priority right now. Thanks for helping me see things clearly.
