Amazing the serenity that comes from saying no to those things that we don’t want to do (anymore).

The quote reminds me of the exchange between Emerson and Thoreau. When he advocated to: Simplify, simplify, simplify. And the response came back: one simplify is enough

Made me just think of a papercut artist!!! I knew a friend who made those incredible thingies for a living. She also painted the most delicate things like a chick getting out of its egg shells – so delicate. BUT having said that: Yes, there would be plenty of stuff to cut out!
