Simplicity

Well here I am again another Tuesday of ramblings to speak of.

So I have a question for all of you. When is the last time you finger painted, or went out side, or built a castle out of legos. When is the last time you colored a page in a coloring book or day dreamed about far off lands? When is the last time you thought about what the clouds looked like or when is the last time you gazed at the stars in wonder? When is the last time you didn't go home and turn on the TV, or get on the computer, or talk on your cell phone? When is the last time you slowly went about your day calmly taking in every aspect of the world?

Can you remember? Can you remember when life was not stressful, but simple? Can you remember just loving friends and family no matter what?

Life has become so complicated. Why? Do we want it complicated? Truthfully it seems so.

Today I have a challenge, a simple challenge. Read a book, draw an airplane, make a friend, take a nap. Don't turn on anything, unless it is an oven to bake cookies. (lights are ok too) Live life simply, today just breathe, think, live.

Hehe. I want to color so bad. I'm going to go buy me some crayons and a coloring book sometime soon.

I daydream too much for my own good.

The daydream part happens all the time. (Mainly in class.) But, I might need to look into doing the other things. Good Advice!
