Hello Dear Reader,
![]()
Never mistake my life for boring. I'm very much in the middle of my working career, which forms the mainstay and most important part of my life. I look forward to my working days and I'm lucky that I have a job that I love. We leave early in the morning and get back around six in the evening. Evenings are all about grabbing time, whether it's for a run, a walk, reading or time at my sewing machine.
It might be easy to think that our lives are boring as we don't go out much, we don't take our selves shopping and we don't take a holiday every year. We don't go to music festivals and it's been eight years since we went to either the theatre or the cinema.
You might think that we'd be bored to tears with our own life but I really wouldn't have it any other way. After a busy week at work our weekends are all about catch up. Catch up on the cleaning, laundry, food shopping, ironing and a modicum of gardening. We love to find time for entertaining friends, visiting family and walking our dogs.
For us, it's about purposeful simplicity.
I can proudly say that there isn't one ounce of life that causes me any stress. Not many people can say that, but we've designed our life to be as peaceful as possible.
We live in a tiny cottage, with a postage stamp garden, we have a quiet social life. We purposefully shun anyone or anything that could, does or might bring drama into our life. We even go so far as to avoid crowds, noise and even the local pub doesn't tempt us due to boozed up people.
Like I said, never mistake my life as boring.
We're not bored and we love every minute of it.
We make it our business to spend very little money but to devote a lot of time to being happy our own way.
Over to you Dear Reader, are you mistaken for boring? Let's hear from you, take a moment to declare how good the simple life is.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxx
