RE: Who said simple is boring?

Yeah, I cannot deny that the world has advanced in so many ways. However, I think people have lost sight and value in "little things" that are within our reach, and end up discontent in wanting things that are unattainable.
When I first came to the UK, it would pain me to hear people complain if they couldn't upgrade an iPad, and that they were bored.
I was totally baffled, because it was the first in my life that I could enjoy a walk in a park...I would sit in the park just looking around at how oblivious people were when they actually walked through the park...

Small things, done often enough, all join at the edges and make up bigger things. I guess not everyone sees it that way though, just the enlightened ones. I'd rather live a life full of many small things than put it on hold whilst waiting for the big things that happen more occasionally. In fact, I think it's the small things that help the larger ones happen more readily.

That's a lovely message, Galen! Sounds like something I want to use as a daily mantra.

I guess it's like what older wiser folks always say: "Every mickle makes a muckle."

I totally agree with all you've said:)

You can share it; there's plenty to go around. 😊
