It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life. – J.R.R. Tolkien
What can I say about the past two weeks? The laundry was washed, dried and folded. The dinners were planned and cooked. Little treats were baked for the kids. The schoolwork was tackled, each day filled with reading and math and science and crafts. The tasks in my planner were slowly crossed off. Tiny pockets of “me time” were tucked into the afternoons, allowing me the freedom to stitch or read. My chickens and garden were tended to with care. None of these things were seen by anyone outside of my family. They aren’t particularly interesting or noteworthy, but these unseen things make a life. A full life! I need to remember the worth of this “invisible” life.
Interesting that I just read this after finishing this article: https://www.raptitude.com/2021/09/the-last-time-always-happens-now/
It really is all these little things that add up to the fullest life, and I’m so glad you always bring attention to the small details and joys 🙂
Such a thought-provoking article! Thanks for sharing.
Great post… thanks for sharing. I know how often we moms/women can get caught up in comparing our life to the lives of those we follow on social media or even in real life. And joyfully living out the daily-weekly-monthly tasks of caring for our homes and families is fulfilling our holy vocational calling, and that is what matters!
I have had MUCH more peace and joy since removing myself from social media! I’m convinced that man was never meant to consume so much, compare so much….be so over-stimulated, you know?
