Forget-Me-Not Cottage

Simplicity at Home

I've always appreciated the idea that we can find the greatest joy from simple things, especially at home.

I live in a small, old, imperfect house.  It is small; but thankfully, has many windows, which makes it seem bigger and brighter.   It is old; but all the nicks, dents, and time-worn imperfections in my homes' simple wood floors, cabinets, and furniture represent to me, many years of love and living.

I don't have too many belongings anymore.  I left them behind when we moved from the city to the country seeking a simpler way of life.  Although, I still have too many books.   What I do have, I try to keep clean and tidy; this brings peace to my home.

My family and I like to go out in nature and enjoy God's perfect beauty.  Sometimes we bring nature home with us to enjoy - flowers, rocks, shells, sea glass, driftwood.  It's all beautiful and a gift of God.

I am so grateful for all of God's blessings.  May you also be blessed with peace and simplicity in your homes and hearts.
