Simplicity.

This year, I want to keep things simple.

The Hubby and I spent Christmas at his parents' which is in a rural area. Lots of space and not a lot of people. For a change, it was nice to look out the window and only see nature.

A breath of fresh air.

Literally.

The air smelled, tasted and felt different. Like each time you breathe, it replenishes the soul. I like that.

As much as I enjoyed our trip, I don't think I can ever live in the country. It's a completely different lifestyle but I have to say, I really enjoyed the simplicity of it. You do things at a slower pace which allows you to appreciate and enjoy it more. In the city, things are constantly moving around you and sometimes it feels like you always have to keep up. But I guess it's a good thing. Keeps you moving forward.

So this year, I would like to stop and smell the roses.

I'm turing 31 this year and even though sometimes I feel like I'm still 18, I'm not. Time is going by so quickly, I really want to make an effort to enjoy today. I don't want to sweat the small stuff. I don't want to hold onto negative thoughts. Life is way too short and really, life can be as easy as you want it to be.

Basically, I need to live life like my puppies. Eat, play and sleep.
