Uncomplicated
“In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.” – Lao Tzu
It’s really pretty simple. Each day we choose. To see wonder or despair, light or dark. A new toy, wrestling, going for a run hunting up squirrels, time together. Lily and Molly have it figured out.
Stop overcomplicating it all with drama, assumptions and comparison. It’s your life – do something with it and enjoy the journey. Our regrets will be made up of what we didn’t do, the chances and opportunities we missed while we were distracted by noise, insignificance. Make some music and dance. A polka is pretty uncomplicated. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3.

this hit me on a much-needed day. 1,2,3….1,2,3..
You know how to polka! Now smile.

Today my morning started with this post. Yay! Thank you! I needed this reminder. I shall be “completely Present” in all that I do today. Nice post!
Thanks – make it an awesome day – each moment of it. Cast light – we need it.
I sometimes wonder if we are so attached to our pets because they truly are a perfect example of how to live in the present with as much energy as possible. Thanks for the refreshing reminder on this Friday morning 😉
Thanks. They jam a lot of life in too short of time. Four-legged angels. Most of the time 🙂
I like that, four-legged angels and most of the time 😉 True on both counts 🙂
Great thoughts, thanks for sharing.
Have a great day!
Love the quote! 🙂
