Thank you for doing that. Guess I need to hone my quoting skills!
I was going to quote the lines about the joys of being home...always secure and loved, and knowing exactly who you are. No pressure to be who others want you to be. That is one of my favorite simple pleasures. Love, love, love home and family.

Another way I keep life simple is by managing my commitments and activities. I know so many people who rush from one activity to to other, it makes me dizzy listening to them. Yeah, volunteer to a few causes, plan a hike for this week, or next week is just as good. Mountains aren't going anywhere. I limit my activities so I'm not running in 10 different directions.
Olivia may have felt stifled by being at home and cleaning, doing dishes and cooking meals. But she was free from so much also. If she had to schlep 7 children all over Charlottsville nearly everyday...don't know if she'd like it.
