Even though I work a full time job, and I am exhausted when I get home, there is something to be said about simplifying my life and those life's of my family. Which would include a meal in my crockpot, soups and stews are my husbands favorite. Save laundry for a specific day, give certain chores to my teenager and yes, when the grandkids are over they have a little responsibility, even if it is cleaning up after themselfs.
In Anne Morrow Lindbergh's book, Gift of the Sea, she states: "I mean to lead a simple life, to choose a simple shell I can carry easily, like a hermit crab." But in that same paragraph she states that she can't because of the demands of her husband, children, her roles as a wife and mother, but it is her journey to find a way to make it happen. That is the journey I am constantly on, evolving myself into a different version of what I was in a different season many years ago. I find my spirituality is excelling with each new day, my love for nature, my love for my family, grows each day.
As a good read for the future, I would recommend Lindbergh's book "Gift of the Sea". Very good and insightful.
