At a certain point in my life having a million plans going from event to event was what i considered fun and a great use of my weekend. Well how things have changed, as this past weekend was my Moms birthday we opted for the simpler things in life. We spent Friday night just hanging out at home watching some of her favorite movies and WE (more like my little sister) made dinner, while she relaxed. The rest of our weekend was filled with just relaxing and spending time together, and since its summer it obviously meant we spent sometime with the sun.
Just my mom, my sister and I sitting on the beach taking in the sun with a magazine and picnic at hand. Then of course we had dinner with her friends and family, just a simple dinner at the Seaport. For my mom this understated day was simply perfect.
This weekend I realized how the simple things in life really do matter, the understated sometimes gets washed away and forgotten. So next time you have a million plans for your weekend, take a moment, throw away all those plans pull up a seat and relax. You will understand how refreshing it can be sometimes.
