The simple life. So simple and wonderful and relaxing and magical and...
Complicated. The simple life isn't easy to achieve.
A few years ago, No Doubt released a song called Simple Kind of Life. It struck me as being true and something many women could relate to. The author of the lyrics reveals wanting to be a wife and to have children, but how her choices in men and her career have not made that possible. I found it intriguing that Gwen Stefani wrote this. Yes, even rock stars have the same longings for a normal, simple, life that we do.
But the other thing I find interesting is the flip side. So many of us who do have the "simple kind of life" also have such complicated lives. Aren't we all a bit like Gwen? Striving for an ideal that doesn't exist? To have a simple life, we have to learn complicated skills, we have to think beyond what the media tells us, and it's not always easy.
Is your life simple? Complicated? A bit of both?
Join me on Wednesday when we'll look at how schedules impact our life.
