Simplicity is a Choice ! How do you Choose ?

                                                                   Why when it comes to decisions in peoples lives , do they more often than not choose the more expensive , more complicated , and most stressful decisions ? Why is it that when they apply certain rules and guides to their relationships , they inadvertently work themselves into a corner that is sometimes near impossible to get out of ? They lay down laws and conditions , that are practically impossible to adhere to , and find themselves over complicating matters so much so that they each are practically scared to death to think outside of the box they have created .
                                                                  Why do things need to be so complicated ? Where has the , do it as simple as you can theory gone ? We wrap ourselves up in so many conditions and limitations that the real definition of a loving relationship can get totally lost in all of the bullshit . I mean very little time is left to the imagination . Spontaneity is something that somebody dreamed up just to torment you . Choosing at the drop of a hat to either do something , or go somewhere is not in your relationship definition anymore . Every little thing that you do now is planned to the extreme .
                                                                 Take the idea of sending your kids out to play now requires a play date and an appointment . A birthday party now no longer centers around a birthday cake and maybe some soft drinks anymore . No , again complicated planning is required so as not to disappoint , and to be honest , now anything goes . Complicated , Stressful , and most expensive , that is the corner you have pushed yourself into .
                                                                I suppose I will have some people totally disagreeing with me here , and that's ok , you most probably are in that box I just described earlier , and can find absolutely no way of retreating from your decisions . I understand fully that you want to provide as much as you can for your children and yourselves . And from my standpoint , being a lot older , and maybe not being in tune with what's required , I can only say , don't do it with the idea of I am not going to disappoint , because your children's friends parents are doing it . I mean the way its going , especially if you think about communions and confirmations , people hiring Horse drawn carriages and Hummers , its getting way out of hand .
                                                              Forget complicated . Forget stress filled expectations . Forget the most expensive things imaginable . Why not try SIMPLICITY ? Why not try ease of thought ? Why not try not having to go to the bank manager when its your child's birthday ?
                                                              Being uncomplicated is equal to Less Stress . It gives you so many choices that don't involve needing therapy every time a decision has to be made . Believe me , the stress that is in your lives now , is SELF INFLICTED . I t really doesn't need to be that way . I already know the type of people who will be nodding to this . But likewise , I also know who won't . Who Are You ?
