Worth the Candle

As I mentioned a few days ago on Facebook, I've lately been desiring a simple life and wondering sometimes why we complicate things so much. Ira reminds me (daily, I think) how easy life would be if we always said exactly what we meant (as he does so well and I try to read into way too much!). I feel like this is my challenge in life right now, I need to say what I mean, rid my life of the menial things that I don't need and enjoy the parts of life that I'm in right now without counting down to graduation/Spain/summer/spring break/whatever it may be.

Okay, so that's a huge task that I'll be working on my ENTIRE life. I know it will never end and I'll constantly fall. I do know however, that I want to start, I want to try. So I've decided to share with you-once a day- the simple thing I enjoyed that day. (See, it will even make me post everyday!) I'm hoping that it will help me reflect on every day and enjoy each day, even when it's not the best of days. I'm also hoping that once I find my simple excitement of the day, I'll expand and give you bigger glances into my life than I am currently doing! :|

SO! Today, I am thankful for the simple gift of chocolate covered strawberries that my Grammie sent to me for Valentines Day! So much love conveyed in a gesture. I love you, Grammie!
