Day 11

          Simplicity. Something I have never really understood until I realized it had crept into my life.  Luxury has been lost to gaudiness  However, today I have realized true luxury is about quality,  not quantity. This concept must be applied in every aspect of one's life before he or she can experience true luxury. I discovered this when I stopped to get coffee on my way to the bank. I used to have such a complex order, and now I am perfectly happy with a small black coffee and a croissant  Those two things can be incredibly satisfying as long as they are paid full attention to. I didn't even realize that I had taken my life on the simple but luxurious route until I was speaking to my mother about wanting to make vegetable stew. I told her how much I just wanted plain vegetable stew because it tasted so much better than a canned one, or one with a lot of spices. That's when it hit me, slowly but surely I have been learning to appreciate the simpler things in life. And not only is my life better for it, I feel like I am a better person because of it.


Lesson: 

Quality is better than quantity.
