Simple Things

Single bed with memory foam
Small portions in big bowls
Ceiling fan blowing when I dry my hair
Small comfy functional
Smart little home

Nothing extra!
Simplicity
Being alone

Sleeping with the windows open, while it rains
Sweet meow of a cat, best not at 3 a.m.
Less clothes from which to choose
Ready in a jiffy
One ounce shot of mangosteen juice!

Writing. Reading. Studying.
Studying. Reading. Writing.
Writing. Writing. Writing.
So much to do!

Less stuff!
All that stuff still filling that large house
Out of sight out of mind
Do I even want any of it?
For now, at least, not pushing it around

Here!
Just being...time to settle...space to breathe and find me
Changes now so welcoming

Freedom
Not telling when, why, what, or where I go
A good silence warms me, Zen-like…
Free of daily combat or withdrawal

… Aum

Awww.... love this piece, Little Mouse!! At first I thought it was going to be sad.. but it's totally not. And I'm glad. Enjoy your new space, your new freedom, your new you. Blessings~~~

The smaller the better. All the more room to focus on you!

Aum indeed! You only need a little house because you're a little mouse. You have given people more insight to the simple life than anything I've ever read, such intelligence will give you a wonderful life. I'm a great believer in simplicity...it's definately the road to liberation...Good girl!
Cheers,
Helen.

Freedom is always something that is welcome...it also seems sometimes that we don't even realize the lack of it until we get a glimpse of it again :) Nicely done...Kimberly

Nice write, My house is always full of stuff...I'd so love a memory foam mattress though.

Love your calmness in the last stanza.

I have found that the larger the house I move into...the more cluttered and complicated my life becomes. I am on an campaign at the moment...bringing order and simplicity to my home. the teenagers are rebelling though...they never want to part with anything! I liked this...brings to mind some serenity and peace in a noisy and busy world. nicely done.
