Simpler Lifestyles

hippies - i get it. their simplistic lifestyle. Hear me out now, I'm not crazy. I just unloaded my stuff from the washer and put in the dryer, and where we live we have a little like nook that has dirt on top of it because it's almost a crawl space. While unloading from washer and transferring to dryer it has to pass by and over this nook and tyipcally in a load, you average about 1 sock or boxer pair (wet of course) into that dirt and requires rewashing because it fell.

Today, was the first time in me living here i had no casualties to the dirt mound and that put a smile on my face. It's those little things hippies appreciate that they can value and feel good about to just change their mood. For the rest of the world its material things or money and then even then they're not satisfied or as happy as the hippies. Whereas at times if you take a step back and just appreciate the little things, like someone's gorgeous smile or the beauty in a pair of eyes, just appreciating what you have or those people or simple sentiments around you that make you feel special. It is these little things that can make us feel a million times better in an instant without even really spending a dollar.

Just interesting to think about.
