Simplifying and streamlining sound like values I could definitely aspire to in my life. I don't know if it is an age thing but I cannot understand the constant need for over-complication and the confusion it causes me trying to sty on par with 'the norm.'

I loved the way you didn't wrap everything up in over-convoluted examples and thought ramblings... This is something I am trying to aspire to myself as I constantly get lost in my own thoughts whether speaking or writing. I don't beat myself up about it as I accept that this is my style of communication right now lol.

Oh the use of simple most certainly was a compliment ((I never even considered that it could have sounded condescending, but with hindsight... Damn hindsight, always explaining things to me after the fact!!!))you shared your thoughts in a way that appealed to me and made me think deeply, hence my use of the word profound.

I think that everybody at times desires that thatch roofed cottage surrounded by a beautiful selection of wild-flowers bees and the smell of fresh bread wafting from the kitchen... Many know of course that they would get bored after a time but - oh man! I am sure I would absolutely relish that sort of life.

I am very appreciative of the lucky happenstance that we crossed paths my friend and look forward to this happening many, many times. I think we have many coinciding thoughts which will be nice to explore going forward.

Take fabulous care of you and yours my friend, hope your weekend is amazing! I am always quite delayed with comments on my workdays but I always get there eventually ((think old fashioned cart-horse rather than Ferrari)) 😎
