"Spiritually Awake."
From Everyday Simplicity: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Growth by Robert J. Wicks:
Spiritual Tenet 2: Stay "spiritually awake"
This means avoid having expectations of what should happen in your life. Instead open your eyes and let yourself be surprised by all of life. Such a discipline takes practice. Every morning make a vow to stay awake and remind yourself several times during the day to pay attention to "the now."
This is a great little spiritual book I picked up a couple years ago and have reread a couple times when the time was right. It is cool because you can read just a bit here and there and be touched and inspired to make some adjustments in your attitude and find your true self "in the midst of all the craziness."
...find your true self "in the midst of all the craziness." so needed that reminder.

I am also very much into simplicity and I think you would enjoy Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. It is something to think about for each day. Thanks for inspiring me.
