I love my daily interactions, the friendships we have all made… the crazy challenges and prompts, the encouragement.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius
Isn’t this totally true?
I think in all aspects of life, things were simpler, then along came religion, money, power, technology, Reality TV…. You know what I mean.
See those families in tiny rural villages, away from all the mod cons of life. How happy are they?
The poorest people are often the happiest. Just look at the wide smiles on the faces of street urchins in a Bombay Slum. Then compare their expressions with those of a child from a well to do family.
Wars, terrorism, poser struggles.
All very real problems.
But only problems because we have allowed them to become problems.
Step back today. Simplify one thing. Strip back life.
See if it makes you feel better!
Have a wonderfully simplistic Sunday Peeps!

So, earlier, I posed a question to all of my lovely Blogily, as I wanted to learn how to set up an Audio file that I could then download onto WP, so that when I felt brave, I could read my poetry, or even a post, or fiction, and you could hear me, instead of read me, if you know what I mean!
I am not keen to go down the YouTube route, as I didn’t want my face out there too much!
As usual, all you wonderful folk flock together to answer these questions, and there are always pearls of wisdom within these post comments. For lots of suggestions, click here.
Graeme and Steve both suggested Soundcloud, and I have heard of it before, but had never used it. So off I went to explore…
And it is great! I also downloaded the app to my phone! So, there is an option to record, then you save it and it can be public or private. I used private, but that’s my choice! There is then an option to share, and when you click that, a link comes up. I just copied and pasted that into my post, and there it was!
Magic! I highly recommend it all!
If there is any post you want to hear me read, which ever it may be, jot me a line in the comments, and if I am brave enough, I will do that for you!
