Simplicity



Sitting here, I find myself pondering my life. It's funny how quickly life changes and morphs into something entirely different than everything you've ever known, all without you even realizing it. My afternoon consisted of cleaning out Alex's closet, ironing every single piece of his clothing (which in itself took over an hour), sweeping, dusting, and making dinner. Nothing fancy by any means, just some rotini noodles with some Ragu chunky spaghetti sauce. Sitting here, listening to Alex watch "Spaceballs" (a classic I might add- yeah right), and feeling so incredibly accomplished and content, I had to laugh at myself. Since when did wrinkle-free clothes and a clean closet equal contentment? I feel like June Cleaver all of a sudden. Life definitely has had its twists and turns, up and downs, and everything in between. Life used to seem so incredibly complex, and sometimes I think it still is, but in actuality, it's so simple. I don't know, I just feel strangely at peace with everything right now. This is the kind of feeling I get when I sense the presence of God. He is here in some way or another right now, I can just feel it. It's the most indescribably wonderful feeling in the world. Nothing feels better than being at peace. Spaceballs...what the hell? May the Schwartz be with you. I can't believe that when I was a kid, I actually took this movie seriously.
