If it weren’t for the mosquitoes that are currently plaguing the Midwest, I’d feel completely justified throwing around words like ‘heavenly’ and ‘perfect’ to describe this nearly-euphoric vacation. I’ve had the privilege of getting to travel a fair amount in the last 5 years. Beaches, mountains, resorts, cities…and I have to say that a staycation at my parents’ house stacks up against the best of these. I think the lesson here is that most of the fulfilling experiences in life are, at the very core, simple. Simple, simple, simple. This past week has been a testament to how the basic things go a long way when it comes to the soul. A simple conversation over a simple meal after a simple night at the ball diamonds in a simple town is no little thing to me. It’s so often said that the best things in life are free. And, that’s true. But I’m starting to think that a truer statement might be that the best things in life are simple.
