desperately seeking simplicity

so this is where i live.

well, not exactly.

i do not live in laguna beach.

one day i wish to own a little beach house. 

with limited furnishings, white washed walls

and linen bedding.

a small abode which i can clean up in a minimal amount of time,

after which i will spend the afternoon with my beach bag in tow, sand at my feet.

ah, the simple life i yearn for.

i crave it.

"simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

leonardo da vinci

claudine and i spent the morning at the surf and sand resort, 

having our feet and hands pampered and polished.

i ventured to the pool area, 

plopped myself in a cushy lounge chair, and felt the sun on my face.

the loud crash of the waves, music to my ears.

magic to a woman desperately seeking peace.

and im listening to conference as i write this...

and guess what president uchtdorfs talk is on?

simplifying our lives.
exactly what i have been striving for.

so good news...i have a general authority who agrees with my philosophy.

"slow down a little bit. focus on the important things in life.

diligently do the things that matter most."
