Before being asked to write this blog, I knew nothing about National Simplicity Day. I knew some things about Henry David Thoreau – a man who intentionally sought to simplify his life. He wrote the book Walden to explain why he built a cabin in the woods around Walden Pond and lived alone there for two years. I remembered his often-quoted words:...
