There’s something to be said for the KISS method, to Keep It Super Simple. Caregiving is complicated. Healthcare, Insurance, Medicare, Veterans Administration, Medication Management, and the list goes on. When it comes to relationships with loved ones and friends, we appreciate simplicity. When it comes to those rare downtime moments, we gravitate towards get-togethers that require low level of effort. There’s something eloquent in the easy. I am not sure where the term “simple” got a bad wrap? Simple-minded is not a bad thing in my book. Life has all sorts of intricacies, and if you can find a way to streamline and simplify, all the better.
After my Gramps passed, I got back on the road, travelling for work, but my first long weekend I went to New Orleans, the “Big Easy.” I always loved it there and hadn’t been in years. Any city that celebrates spirits, cocktails, food, and jazz is alright in my book. I just love saying “Big Easy.” What in life is ever easy? It’s rare, isn’t it?
So this Saturday, I am Simple-Minded, and trying to make my life one Big Easy. I have a little bit of a cold today, so I went for a walk and got some fresh cold-pressed juice, an apple-lemon-mint-fennel concoction I made up, and a side shot of ginger. I believe ginger can cure anything! After my walk go get some sunshine and Vitamin D, I came home, read and caught a NCIS marathon. I did some online shopping on Amazon for a few books, and I am becoming a fan more and more of online shopping and recommend it for those items you don’t feel like running to 10 different stores to find. Easssyyyyy day. Nowhere I needed to be, run to, get done. Simple. Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend!
