Finding Myself

It's a sunny last day of January 2010. This morning I took a bath in which I experienced more than meets the eye. I felt the hot water, smelled the essential oils infused in the water, saw the flickering candles and oil on my body, heard the flute CD playing. It was a mixture of senses and elements: water, fire and air. Although I didn't actually use the sense of taste, there was a taste of simplicity mixing with depth. So in a way, I experienced myself. Isn't life grand?

Today's thought: Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy

Getting Started

Today is the day I start my blog. Have been thinking of it for awhile as my daughter recently started her blog. It seems I have many thoughts that run through my head that I feel like sharing. Even if they don't mean any thing to any one, at least they are out of my space. I called it Simply Me because I consider myself a very simple person who given the chance could live incredibly simply. However, I am also a very deep thinker and feel deeply so I go back and forth between simple and deep. This morning as I headed to yoga class, the full moon was incredibly beautiful, and I wished there were time to sit and look at it until it faded away. Am enjoying the sunshine which kind of cancels out the -1 temp. Have the whole day before me in which I plan to clean and sleep.
Thought for the day: be kinder than necessary as every one you meet is fighting some kind of battle
