A simple thought about living simply.

There are people who say “I remember when…”
“I remember when neighbors sat on porches and just talked.
When the kids would run the neighborhood like it was their job.
I remember moms sharing recipes,
dads sharing tools,
kids sharing secrets.”

They remember when.
Because “when” was simple.
People enjoyed life. Each other. Their homes.
They took the time to help out. Dig in. Be a part of.

And maybe someday, if we’ve done our job right,
We’ll be lucky enough to say
“We remember when…” too.
