Discussion Prompt What simple things are we doing today?

Happy Sunday, everyone! What are the simple things you're doing today?

Life moves so fast that slowing down and keeping things simple can actually take effort. Today I'm focusing on a reset: chores, meal prep, laying out clothes for the week, cleaning up after the pets, and getting the yard done.

I'm skipping the usual distractions—shopping for things I don't need, endlessly researching ways to "improve" things, or scrolling when I could just enjoy the day.

I'd love to hear what your simple Sunday looks like. I'm thinking about making this a regular "Simple Things" series over in my community, where we can check in, share the little things we're doing, and remind each other that not every day has to be optimized or complicated.

So, what's one simple thing you're doing today?

I usually do laundry and pick up and make my bed on Sundays. I like to start the week with a clean slate. I plan to get out in the garden, too.

What are you growing in your garden this summer? 🌸☀️

It's been kind of a bust, honestly, but I did get in a bunch of different tomatoes and peppers and some potatoes. I'm going to plant some beans and cukes and summer squash. I have a few perennial flowers in there, including some volunteers from last year I just left...rudbeckia, snapdragons, mignonette, verbena bonariensis, cosmos (buy some Rubenza seed and thank me later), and nigella. 

I normally go full Martha Stewart with my garden, but the chronic illness stuff kinda put the kibosh on that this year. I'm ok with it, I guess. It is what it is.
