A
My grandparents actively practiced simplicity. They both grew up in
very large families and lived through the Great Depression. Saving for a
rainy day and avoiding superfluous consuming was their life philosophy.
Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items, they chose to
spend really simple life together, with family and in nature.
Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their
community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and
larger homes. As real estate prices rose, many of their neighbors sold
their little homes and land. Soon theirs were the only small house on
the block, surrounded by a sea of mansions. My grandparents built and
lived m a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives.
Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little
old house. But they didn?t want a bigger place. They loved their little
house and were content with what they had.
My grandparents avoided consumptive( 浪费的 )lifestyle by painting
and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had
a huge garden. They loved gardening and planting because it reduced
their grocery bill, improved their health, and gave them an excuse to be
outside. They also reused and recycled everything. For instance, they
had driven the same car for over 15 years and didn?t buy a new one until
the old Chevrolet was worn out.
Through their example I learned an important lesson: It is possible
to live a simple and fulfilling life. My grandparents taught me that
living a simple life isn?t about self-deprivation. Instead, i t?s about
giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to pursue your dreams.
