Why is there always something to do?

This may be a complete rant… but why is there always something going on? Remember when we were kids, and life was so simple? I remember my biggest concern was when my next door neighbor Mike would be allowed to come to play. And then the next big concern was that the street light was about to turn on and I’d have to go home, and I wasn’t ready to go in yet. Oh the simple times…. Now as I stare at my file folder of tax documents, wishing they would somehow end up in our bonfire on accident, and then the IRS would say, oh well, let’s tray again next year (#dreamworld), I can’t help but think, why can’t we try to make our lives how they were when we were kids? Can’t we try to simplify, and want less, and expect less? It’s a magical thought isn’t it? I think that my goal for this week, month, year… forever maybe…. is to try and want less, do less, and simplify. (Disclaimer: I’m not saying I’m going to do less work, don’t be lazy y’all!) I can’t stop paying my taxes of course, so I will need to get on that. And I can’t not call the insurance company to update some information (also something I keep putting off). But what I can do is change my perspective and remember that, these are just “things” to do. It’s not my life. My life is with my family and my pups and these outside forces don’t control me. Peace friends!
