You've hit it on the nail here, Robin. My favorite motto--"Order is restful." Have you read any of Alexandra Stoddards books? I love her "Living a beautiful life." She turns every day routines into meaningful and fulfilling rituals by adding scents, visuals, tastes and colors. Some of her quotes--"Repetition dignifies these rituals", "All the rituals done at home are to express our feelings. We can't care enough," "The more we care about the small details, the more in tune to beauty we become." Your 9 tenets for the simple life are inspired. Thanks for sharing.
