Real Simple

Although I got a lot of things accomplished today, it wasn't the best. I got so overwhelmed so I called my parents and talked to them together for a long long time. My mom challenged me with this: "Alexandra, promise me that for the next few days you will try to keep your heart light. Do silly things, be a kid. Jump in a puddle, go spin around in the quad behind your dorm until you fall down laughing. Try to keep your conversations light. Watch movies that make your heart smile..." and so on. I think that is a challenge that I can definitely take! Well I say that, but having deep conversations with people is something that I love to do and something that my friends and I do quite frequently. But for the sake of my mother and me, I am going to try. So for the next few days I'm going to try and keep things simple. We'll se how it goes, but I pray that God will give me the strength to accept this challenge. Maybe you should challenge yourself to do the same. Sometimes we make things so much more complicated then they need to be.
