Experiencing Life
In our hurry, we say we don’t have enough time. But the truth is, we simply don’t have enough quality time: no time without stress, deadlines, or crises; no time where life slows to a stroll down a country lane; no time to savor little pleasures. If we are fortunate, we realize the good things in life are not rare or costly. They are life’s commonplaces: a child’s smile; a sky full of clouds; flowers at our feet. They are the things money can’t buy and hurrying won’t secure.
It’s inherent to pursue the big, the fast, and the expensive. Yet only simple, unencumbered living allows us to experience life and to live harmoniously with ourselves. Thus, this book offers myriad strategies for simplifying life across multiple dimensions of living.
To opt for simpler living and get off the best-stressed list, forge ahead, find a relaxing spot, and sample an extensive buffet of humor-spiced remedies. Quell your appetite but remember buffet etiquette: you don’t have to eat anything you don’t like and you get to taste anything that looks good. So laugh along. Munch up. Simplify life. Live long and stress less.
