KISS...

...otherwise known in the common parlance as "keep it simple stupid". I have always believed that this rule is just so good for everyone, even though, I have trouble living it, as most of us do, I think. I was driving home from work rather late for me and a new show came on NPR called "Stories". It was a premier and from what I heard, it is probably worth listening to always. Tonight was about a man who was making a fortune in Silicon Valley, lost his company and everything in the dot.com bust, then started to return to simplicity by living with his sister on a farm, helping to do the farm chores to grow and raise their food, taking minimum wage jobs, first as a zookeeper, then a series of others, and discovering that he was much happier than when he was pulling down 100's of thousands of dollars and had credit card debt that I can only imagine. At my age, it appears that some of the most important lessons I've learned in life are to love the Lord your God with your whole heart, etc., remember your family always comes first because they are most like you - they share your DNA, walk every day or some day you won't be able to do so, keep it simple.
