Simplicity

After a long a silly journey I am home...later then expected, thanks to me, but I am home. And I know I have said it many many times but I can’t tell you enough how thankful I am.

The funny thing is, or not so funny, that there were people there welcoming home the troops. So when ever a troop arrived there were people clapping and cheering and welcoming them home. So there were NO armed forces with the group of people I was with, but I had my own cheering section! Well I was really overly happy and excited that I accidentally knocked over some posters for the troops… sorry about that.

And not only was my family there to welcome me but my bestie was there!!!!!

I was so thankful that I didn’t have a phone while I was home… I know what your thinking a 20 year old shouldn’t be able to function an hour with out her phone… well its happening! And life is so much simpler with out t.v., a phone, or anything like that. So it was a little difficult but I like not having a phone, and its just one more thing that I don’t have to worry about. I was able to see the people I wanted to see and not worry about hurting any ones feelings, crafty huh.

While I was home I saw my two best friends in the whole entire world, ate amazing food and got to have some awesome family time.

The special treatment started when I got off the plane, how wonderful : )

Through out the week I was treated to food, coffee, shopping, good straightened, and driving. Its just the little things in life that make me happy, not the amount of money, friends or anything just the simple things.

Before I didn’t find too much joy in the little things, in fact I took them for granted…. But that is pretty normal right?

Now I take notice of the beauty of the country side, the green farms, the sun coming up to give its warmth but hides away to give us the coolness of the night, having a roof over our heads, a family to come home to, the moisture from the colds, thunderstorms, the warmth of a smile, a hug. The difference a smile can make. Its those little things that I find everyday now warms my heart. For me its now the simplicity of life that warms my heart not the complexity.
