Simply..an anniversary....

23/3/2019

The ninth anniversary of Live Simply Simply Live.

Looking back I see I have only remembered it twice before! (Here and here.)
How remiss of me.

I had lots of ideas for an anniversary post, but came down to this - a focus on the Simply Live part of the title. I am asking myself some questions....

When do I feel most alive?

What makes me feel fully alive?

When did I last feel like this? -

And I am drinking a toast tonight to everyone who reads this blog and makes it one of the favourite things in my life.

To you with love. x

Happy birthday to Live simply, Simply live and all congratulations to you, Freda, for its existence. I can only imagine the discipline (mixed in with the pleasure) it takes to keep it going but it is much appreciated. Reading some of the posts and comments give me the running in a field of dandelions feeling.

Happy Birthday Freda - I remember the day I discovered your blog - it was the header picture you had of the Waverley - it was my running in the dandelions moment! Your wonderful blog has kept me reading ever since.
Have a lovely day with all your blog memories and a toast back to you for many more blog days in the future. x

Happy bloggiversary Freda! That is such a wonderful image. I definitely feel most alive when I'm out in nature. I last experienced that when I went walking on Colonsay last summer by myself. I can thank you for that, as I went there after reading about the island on your blog. I will drink a toast to you tonight. May there be many more years of your lovely, inspiring blog. As the French say : A la tienne!

As only yesterday I watched another long-standing blog fade from view, I am extremely grateful to you, not only for keeping going for nine years but for doing it with freshness and panache through thick and thin.
I think it may be a help that it has not been child based. Those are the ones that peak and fizzle out as the children grow too old to be the main subject matter. Your subject matter is all life and who could fail to be interested in that?

In this field of abundance only one dandelion puff is needed to make a wish for you to continue creating this welcoming and inspirational space. Thank you Freda.
