Simplicity

"Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free,
Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be--
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Twill be in the valley of love and delight."....Shaker hymn

I have always loved this song whether it's done vocally or instrumentally. I need to be reminded so often to keep things simple and calm. So in the midst of all this craziness of graduation for Victoria I am trying to keep a balance of calmness. I have found it helps to take some time everyday to sit outside in the sun, even for 15 minutes, to read an inspirational book or even to just "rest my eyes". It seems by doing this I keep a better perspective on the things that come across my path each day.
