Living a simple life means that you are making the most of what you have, no matter where you are in life. Whether you have a huge house, a little house, or no house at all (maybe you live in a camper?), you can make the most of what you have.

For someone with a simple life, it doesn’t take much to make them happy. To appreciate the little things in life means that you are thankful for what you have and are not looking at what other’s have. A simple life means not caring to “keep up with the Jones’.”

One of the ways you can enjoy what you have is by being in nature. Whether you live somewhere that provides trails for you to walk, a backyard that allows you to have a garden, or maybe you only have a porch that gives you a place to just get some fresh air, there is much to be enjoyed from nature. Gardening in particular is a wonderful part of a simple life. I plan to elaborate more on this in a future post.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
