Its the simple things and the little things that make such a difference in our lives:
a hug
a smile
shared laughter
holding hands
watching a baby sleep
being held by a child
waking up to a new day

sunsets
a walk
a nap
a phone call
a friend
looking up to a blue sky
white fluffy clouds
feeling pain free
a kiss
sharing time with a loved one
petting a cat
playing with a dog
a knowing glance from across a room
the bloom of a flower
a cup of coffee
a spot of tea
a child after a bath

an answered prayer
enlightenment
joy

it truly is the simple things that make us the most content isn't it? but why do we complicate things indeed? that I really don't know. I think if we all kept things simple, it would be such a better world I do believe
I'll have to check out Tabitha's blog; it sounds lovely :)

betty: I KNOW you will enjoy Tabitha's blog. I agree...I think the secret of life is the balance in keeping our lives simple. When it gets complicated, it spins out of control.
Sarah: So true about Tabitha's gift. She also lead me to your blog! Thank you for visiting and following me. We need to have a brainstorming session on HOW TO KEEP IT SIMPLE and not allow our lives to get complicated. I look forward to more future creativity over at your blog and mutual conversations.
