It is time to simplify my life (or is it my lifestyle? I am not sure, yet) a bit. My intuition is telling me that this would be smart, to say the least.
One morning last week a small voice told me where to begin. It was clean up time in the preschool classroom where I teach. I was helping two three year old boys pick up the supplies that they had used while they were running a restaurant that day.
Holding a basket, I said, "Let's put all of the food in here."
Then one of the boys asked me, holding what looked to be hand painted trout, "Teacher, where does this go?"
"It's a fish. That's food. You can put it right in this basket."
"No," he said and as he stretched and stood up on his tip toes, the preschooler's power stance, I noticed he was wearing a pair of high top Converse sneakers, one pink and one red. "This is a fish. It is not food. It is a fish."
Simple. As. That.
