Live Simply

I've spent most of today on my couch or sleeping in my bed, thanks to an old back injury that has decided to flare up.

It's funny how when you're in a lot of pain, you realize what is important to you- and that your needs are in fact, very few indeed. In this state of agony, all I really need is water (I have been so THIRSTY!), a heating pad and ice pack for my aching back, and SLEEP.

I'd like to make more of an effort to live with less of my wants (and the longing for what I don't have) and be more grateful and satisfied when my needs are met. In a world this complicated, there are many benefits to living simply.
