• Simply Simple

    simplicity

    vent plates or silverware from being placed.    I have never understood the desire to say cut a cutting off a plant and hope to see it in ten years become a beautiful big plant.  Seriously, remember, I need immediate gratification.  This also shows in my garden.  It is hard for me to buy little flowers, waiting for the moment when they fill in and make a beautiful basket.   I need to see color NOW.  

    The word simplicity implies to me being in control, a downsized situation, and a time saver.

    Now, this does not seem to be in my brain, vocabulary, or whatever.  You see, I never seem to do things simply. 

  • Simplicity Meets Overthinking

    simplicityI have been told frequently that I overthink everything. Keeping things simple is a real stretch for me. When I see a piece of writing with simple bullet points, I want to write it that way. I often end up with paragraphs instead. I always think I need to say more. I have heard the “less is more” quote, and I understand it. Then I tend to clutter it up. My editing style has trouble leaving anything out.
