I recently took a vacation to Florida, and while I was there all I could think of was how much I was enjoying myself. I was so relaxed and had plenty of time for my family. There was no laundry, no cleaning, no meals to make. Life was simple. All of that enjoyment got me thinking...How can I make my life at home more like a vacation? O.k., You're probably laughing at the thought, thinking that it is absolutely impossible! But what is the difference between being at home and being on vacation? ....Simplicity. So, I've been looking at the things that keep my life from being simple, and asking how can I change them? I've made some changes and things are better for me. Then I was also looking at some of the upcoming decisions I have to make, and when I look at them in terms of "simplicity", it's helping me to make better decisions.
Then, last night I was blessed to be able to see Ivan Dragicevic speak. He is a visionary from Medjugorje. His message, which is Our Lady's message is to pray and make time for those you love. The only way for me to make time is to simplify. I'm seeing a recurring theme in what God is revealing to me. I guess it's time to listen.

Many people in different countries and many women especially never get the opportunity to have a vacation. Our serving is with the Lord and I feel serene when I focus on the PRESENT MOMENT. No matter where I am, I see and feel God in everything, including the keys that strike these letters. God knows the heart of the person who invented this and those who read these words. Helena
Simplicy is something we all strive for...it just eludes us when we are living in the world and of the world...instead of living as St. Paul says in the world but not of the world.
