Flickr Bingo 2: O74, A Thought for the Day

The KISS Method: "Keep It Simple Stupid."
I've been thinking about this lately, and had a conversation about this with a friend the other day. Not specifically the "KISS Method" but rather the idea of learning to live. Instead of always looking ahead or behind, learning to be happy in the moment.
Living with continued milestones (finishing each year of school, graduating the various levels, finding the next job, getting married...etc), I have found myself looking ahead to those milestones... but when you discover that those milestones aren't what make you happy, I found that there was a moment of "Well, what now then?" and there's almost a nihilistic weight. Being a Christian, my faith has been struggling as of late, but it is still there and I reach for my faith and I know that in Christ is my self-worth and my purpose. Still, I am only human, and I do tend to complicate matters far too much.

So, I find I just need to relax, take a step back, thank the Lord for the blessings He's giving me, and be happy in the moment. Let's just keep it simple.

Gratitude
I'm thankful for days with no plans, where we can hang out, watch some TV, eat some awesome food, play with the baby, and just enjoy each other's company.
