Purely simple

I did something wonderful about two weeks ago.  I went into my bathroom and removed all of my makeup.  I then left it off.  I have become so accustomed to wearing it, that I did not know what I looked like.  Can you imagine, not knowing the state of your original skin because it is hidden under layers ? I have been trying to do this for years, but every time, I get the gook off, I put it back on.  I understand why people pick the strictest of religions to put their faith in from this experiment.  Your life can become so cluttered by the antics of life, that you really can't see it for what it is.  You can mask pure blessings by focusing on defeats.  Life is not that hard to live, but we make it difficult.  We make breakfast about pancakes and eggs and bacon and tomatoes, when it could simply be a bowl of oatmeal.  One Sunday, I forewent the big Sunday meal and had a simple dinner prepared for one and was completely satisfied.  I think I need to dig in my closet and find other things that are cluttering my world.  I find that most of the time, I have changed looks, but kept the old clothes.  I like this pared down me.  Pure and simple.
