“Out of clutter, find simplicity.”
~ Albert Einstein
New week. Fresh start.
I stopped using the page on the left in my journal some time ago because I preferred the freshness of the clean page on the right. Also because I’ve reached an age where I felt I could. Funny that.
A while ago I started using the left page to jot down quotes that spoke to me in books I was reading and to maintain a running list I call Simple Happy. It’s just a list of ordinary things that delight me in that moment.
This morning:
- Blue sky and sunshine
- Coffee in bed
- A husband who tends to things like, yet another, chip in the windshield. (I’ve lost count of how many windshields we’ve replaced in this vehicle. I’m convinced there’s a design flaw with this vehicle that causes rocks to land at just the right angle to cause damage.)
Happy Monday. Happy fresh start.

Nothing better than a clean, unwritten on, fresh, flat, unwrinkled page! 🙂
Glad to hear I’m not the only one who appreciates it!
