The Simple Things

I spend too much time on the internet as it is. So, why am I starting a new blog? Well, I find that journaling causes me to notice things around me more. It causes me to be more introspective. It makes me think deeper. Afterall, I would only want to write something worth reading.

And, my best friend of 25 years created a blog. So, that just means I have to, too! :)

I'm appreciating the simple things today:

  • A bowl of warm grits on a cold day
  • The smell of coffee as I stumble bleary eyed downstairs every morning (thanks to my sweet husband!)
  • An unsolicited hug and kiss from my 2 year old
  • Warm slippers
  • Sunshine
  • Medicine that cures an ear ache
  • A cup of tea
  • A warm house
  • A soft bed
  • Flannel PJ's
  • Beanie-weenies (yes, I actually love this dish - especially when the thought of even opening the refrigerator to make a turkey sandwich, makes me feel even colder!)
  • A sweet daughter who has learned to say, "Happy to see you, Mommy!"
Thank you Lord, for blessing me with the "simple things" that make life so sweet!
