simplicity...

This year I chose the word ... breathe as my word for the year.  It's been a struggle.  I have to constantly remind myself to breathe.  I sometimes feel we have so much to do that I have to go! go! go! and I forget to inhale air in between speaking.  I sometimes even get hick-ups.  

Regardless of my hick-ups I still try!  As a questioner personality I often make a decision and then question it.  One of my greatest inward struggles is to feel like I have purpose and meaning.  I know it seems so simple.  I mean I work abroad.  I work with kids.  I go to church surely I should find meaning.  Oh, I also have friends and family that I am in communication with.  But still the struggle is real.  Coming home everyday to darkness and having to switch on the lights is something I battle with.  I've also known home to be a place where relationships breed.  

Anyway, I've come to the inward simple decision that I DON'T have to question everything.  My life has meaning.  My life has deep purpose.  I just need to breathe and accept it.  Simple.

May you see the beauty of your life.
May you see it in grand simplicity. 
May you know that you have purpose and meaning.
May you (like me) learn to breathe. 

Love,
Phoenix and Sarah.
