The Beauty of A Simple Life

Ali Novitsky, MD

I want to share with you our extraordinary travels in Greece, an experience that has not only been beautiful but profoundly life-changing.

Among the incredible places we've visited, the island of Mykonos stands out, especially for one breathtaking moment – watching the sunset. Words cannot do justice to the explosion of colors we witnessed as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the shimmering waters. It was a scene so awe-inspiring, it felt as though time had momentarily paused.

Living here in a small apartment has brought its own unique joys and simplicity. Imagine a life where everything just becomes easier. We walk everywhere, savoring the beautiful Greek landscapes and historic streets. Shopping for fresh produce daily has turned into an exciting ritual, where we select the best fruits, the juiciest vegetables, and engage with welcoming local vendors.

And the coffee culture! We sit at quaint little cafés for hours, sipping on aromatic coffee, indulging in meaningful conversations, and meeting fascinating new people. It's a slower pace of life that has allowed us to envision what our own lives could become, unburdened by too many "things."

This journey has reaffirmed the beauty of simplicity and the profound happiness that comes from experiences rather than possessions. We are even starting to wonder how soon we can return to Greece. The allure of this magnificent country has embedded itself deeply into our hearts. Every corner of Greece offers a new adventure, a fresh perspective, and sincere warmth from its people.

For now, we will enjoy all the time we have here and try to curate what we want to bring home with us. How can we create more simplicity? How can we create more space to reflect and grow? How can we live by different rules, possibly? These are the questions that weave through our minds as we walk through the ancient ruins, sit by the serene beaches, and share laughs with new friends.

Our vacation in Greece is not just about exploring a new land; it's about rediscovering ourselves and redefining our own sense of happiness. The lessons we've learned here will serve as inspiration, guiding us toward a simpler, more intentional way of living, no matter where our adventures take us next.

Wishing you an amazing week!!!

Ali
