Simple Basics

Have we really come to a place where we need to always be Entertained? Always rushing around being busy. Have we lost the art of just being and appreciating the simple things in life? Like people, relationships (real relationships not facebook friends). Do you notice the beauty all around you? Like the sunset, a full moon, a cool breeze on a warm summer day, or how blue the sky is. Be still. When was the last time you wrote someone a letter, or listened to a friend really pour out their heart, talked to your neighbor? pondered a thought? Or stayed at home and spent quality time with family? Can you go a whole day without texting, surfing the net, checking your email or your facebook? Play cards, make dinner together, do a project with your kids, play a board game. Sit outside with your spouse and talk about your dreams, look at the stars. Go on a picnic.We need to get back to the simple basics and get into perspective what is really important... and whats not.
