simplify

I took time to work on Susannah Conway’s unravelling project and decided that this really is what’s important to me this year.

For the last three days I’ve very much lived simply. I’m staying in a small house [link] at the edge of the Moroccan desert, and we’ve done the simple activities of walking, exploring, sitting on empty beaches, and reading, and writing my morning pages. I find it a great way to recharge, especially at this time of year. Not only does it fulfil my love of travel, but it allows me to completely disconnect. I’ve not used the internet for a week and I’ve had only a small number of text messages of festive greetings. I’ve slept like a baby every night, and given we’re eating only two simple meals a day, I feel as though I’ve lost weight too.
