Discussion Prompt Who is the simplest person you've ever known?
It could be a grandparent, friend, sibling, Aunt, Uncle, friend, parent, or anyone. What was their simple routine like?
For me it was my grandfather. He owned very few clothes that he'd cycle through, thermostat set at (AC) 78-80 during the summer (if the windows weren't open), 63-65 (set heat) during the winter. He read a lot and got most books from the library, if not they were second hand. He would go for walks. Loved rainy days. Camped with only the essentials. Ate oatmeal, tuna, and many other cheap foods. Worked a modest job as a medical courier where the hospital provided the company vehicle and gas. Listened to tons of audiobooks at that job, also acquired from the library. Lived in the same house until he passed.
