In Awe...

When the fall season comes, I am always full of anticipation for this beautiful specimen of a tree right outside my back door. I'm sure I posted about it last year and maybe even the year before. I never get tired of seeing the spectacular color that is so close I can touch it. There are days I just stand outside or look outside my patio window "in awe" of its presents. It really isn't any different then any other tree that has turned yellow in the fall but I think because it is so up close and personal that I find amazing. I am just glad it chose me to hang out with!

Minimalist...

As my road to more simplicity moves on, my thoughts lean into becoming a minimalist. Someone asked me the other day if I had the money to have other people do all the things around my house etc. that I needed done, would I still want to down size and minimize? It took me a day or so to really think about it and the answer was yes ~ I would still like everything very simple and minimal. Just thinking about it brings me relief and anticipation. But also a little overwhelmed as all my "stuff" still lingers longing to  be given a new home.
