Delight in simple things

A simple life is not a life poor in joy. Sometimes what is most restorative is found in a calm conversation, a walk, a shared meal, a brief prayer, or an afternoon without haste. When you need ever stronger stimuli, small things begin to seem boring. But many good things are enjoyed only when you slow down your pace. Giving thanks for the simple educates the heart. It helps you to live with less anxiety and with more presence.
