Simple Abundance

 

I just had to share this book I picked up at the thrift store yesterday Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathbach. Its a collection of essays, one for everyday of the year, that remind one how to celebrate and enjoy the simplicities of life. I started to read it from the beginning, however when I flip through it, every title captures my attention and I end up reading it. Just look...

 

The Habit of Being and Celebrating the Common Days, bestill my heart! The essays cover so many topics that are important to me like homemaking, gardening, and even thrifting. All are geared toward finding the pleasure in these simple things.

 

 

These days I'm trying my best to enjoy the things I have and not always want for more and I'm also trying to impart that lesson to my children. I'm so happy to have found this book at this juncture in my life.

We are about to depart for a weekend of fun at my family's favorite amusement park, Lake Winnie. I plan to enjoy and live in each moment and try to do the same for the rest of the summer and you can bet this book will be close by just in case I need reminding. Have a great weekend!

mmm, this book. i LOVE it. with all my heart. i particularly like the concept of "my acre of diamonds", which is now the name of my blog. i have read this book too many times to count, but began it back in 2001 while i was single, away from home, lonely and searching for...anything. this book, paired with my Bible and journal, was a balm for my soul. (that sounds so incredibly cheesy, but it's the truth!!) anyway, i see that you posted about this book back in June, but i hope you have enjoyed it half as much as i did.

i found your blog from soule mama, and hers from fly through our window. love all your ideas and insight. if it's okay, i'll check back often!

hope this day finds you well.
