The first week of August is National Simplify Your Life Week in the US.  It is a time to declutter, reorganise and de-stress, time to relax, meditate, reassess your priorities.

You can start by whisking yourself away to this peaceful path in South West France

where the smells, sounds and views will kick-start the destress process

Lately I have realised
That I need to simplify
Thoughts pass like ships in the sky
Do, or do not, there is no try

Life became complicated
When modern times arrived
Board games are underrated
I want a different life
They say, well get out of the city
We say, well there’s no such thing
As a house in the country (in the country)

I am trying to rectify
Habits that clog up my mind
No time to be meek and mild
Live simply like a child

Life became complicated
When modern times arrived
Board games are underrated
I want a different life
They say, well get out of the city
We say, well there’s no such thing
As a house in the country (in the country)
