We wake up knowing what the day will bring us, we know about the moments of rest that we can take and the exciting adventures that we can experience. There is a rhythm to our days that fills our lives with excitement and contentment, allowing us to feel calm and at peace with ourselves.
A slow and simple life, or the good life as people used to call it. It is a lifestyle that has become quite popular in the last few years. But might we be doing it wrong? Are we missing something about living fulfilling and simple lives?
We try and work harder and do more. But to what end? What would happen if we just take a step back. If we just take some time to simply enjoy ourselves. What can we gain from doing less?
An Irish fry up in the morning and sitting down to a full plate of sausages, black pudding, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and beans on toast is the perfect start to any day. It will provide you with the energy you need, whether you are working in the garden, tending to animals or building your next DIY project.
We all want to live the good life, a simple life, that is filled with nourishing meals and the simple pleasures of life. A frugal life where we learn to produce for ourselves instead of consuming what was created by others. And with some simple steps, you too can get closer to a simple and more frugal life.
