I think berry makes a great statement, because this is what God calls us to do. He wants us to love and enjoy the earth that He gave us. I find joy in the little things, the things we all experience but maybe dont take time to enjoy. Taking even just 5 minutes to admire the color of the sky before continuing on with my day, taking a moment to smell the flowers around me, and enjoying nature.

It can be hard to practice simplicity in a world that is constantly pushing things in our faces that they can sell to make our lives easier. I have used creativity to practice simplicity by reusing items where I can. For example, I reused old pasta, olive, and vegetable jars as flower vases for a brunch I hosted. This caused me to reuse items I already had, instead of buying new vases. and after using them for that, I used them as cups!
