Elders Meditation for September 8
"Keep your life simple because the more you get, the more complicated it becomes."
--Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE
The old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house, then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard whick costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism, are other "gifts." Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you. Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be spiritual.
Creator, let my foundation be spiritual and simple.

One of my goals in moving to the apartment is to simplify.
Life is complicated enough with an addict in the family, and my own issues of codependency. And I'm working hard on them. I don't need or want *stuff* to complicate it more.
My new motto is KISS - Keep It Simple, Silly!
Things don't make the person; nor do they make us happy. Happiness, like serenity, comes from within. For me, G*D is at the core of that which is good.
Shalom!
