Importance of being SIX.

Today I dropped off ice cream treats for my son's kindergarten class. He came to the school office to get them from me proudly wearing his Birthday Crown. Nothing can top seeing him today in this crown, beaming as if there is nothing greater than being SIX. It is these moments that make me reflect. Reflecting about what is meaningful in life. From this day forward, I am simplifying my life. It started earlier in the year with making my car a no phone zone, and deciding not to purchase a smartphone. Today I ordered vegetable and herb seeds for a garden. Next, I will be eliminating Facebook from the things I spend my time on. Fresh air, dirty hands, soil, running, family games. These are the important things. To my friends, unplug, hang up and drive, try yoga, run around the block.
