I’m a simple girl

I’m an old fashion kind of girl, I like things that are simple and free. I’d rather spend an afternoon having a picnic on a blanket, then I would walking around the mall. I don’t need expensive gifts, the best gift I’ve received this year cost less then 5 dollars (it was Lily of the valley roots) I’m not a girl who needs constant attention, or who whines when things don’t go my way. I’m the kind of girl who would rather garden then go on a shopping spree. I feel that old is better then new, old has stood the test of time, new will likely break in 2 to 5 years. I’m a fix it if it’s broken kind of girl, don’t just throw it away and buy new. I’d rather read books then go to the movies (the movies are fun, but books are so much better) I’m the kind of girl who would rather go for a walk in the woods, listening to the birds and smelling the sweet earthy aroma, then I would living in a city. I’m the kind of girl that enjoys a quiet moment drinking tea, instead of carousing at the bar. I would rather listen to sea waves crash against the shore, then go to a concert. I would rather that people see me as polite and sweet, then as an uncouth harpy (and let’s be honest, we know a lot of women who would fall into the uncouth harpy sect) I would rather be known for being respectful and responsible, then harsh and flighty. I’m one of those girls who will spend all day cleaning and cooking dinner just to see the full and happy smiles of my family. I would rather grow and tend my own garden then buy produce from the store. I would rather play a board game then browse Facebook. I would rather paint a picture, then buy a painting. I would rather dress modestly and comfortably, then dress as if I’m on display or for sale. I don’t need fancy things. I don’t need the newest things. I don’t need designer clothes. I don’t need name brand food. I don’t need cable t.v. I need my family to love and care for me, I need the simple things in life. Water, fresh air, a roof over my head, food, some clothing, but what I truly need more then anything else is love and support.

I am very blessed in this area, I have the love of my family, my husband, my friends, and I would do anything for them. I’m a simple girl, with simple needs.
