Thanks for the story, Dan: I too enjoy the pleasure that simple tasks can bring. Making a slow breakfast, baking bread, making soup, and other simple chores make for a satisfied mind.
Lately I've been looking around the house and feel like I need to rediscover the joys of rummaging through each room and making things lighter. I'm considering joining a local chapter of the Buy Nothing Project so I can give away some treasures that are sitting around unused
Funny. Never had a dishwashing machine until late 90's. Never really cared. But then again same goes for microwave oven. Still enjoy washing dishes by hand. Who knows why? Relaxing?
Slowing down! It's taken me 15 years to learn to slow down after retiring...mainly because I've been working after retiring, make sense? All my life I felt like I had to be doing something...not any more. I'm fine with doing something productive in the morning then doing absolutely nothing in the afternoon...feels great!!
