The Simple Things


sitting in the car while it's raining
a letter from a friend
stepping out on a dry bathmat


clouds in a blue sky
a smile from a complete stranger
the smell of coffee


clean sheets
collecting shells on the beach
a good book
small fingers holding hands
 

it's nice to reflect on the simple things
and slow down the pace sometimes
 
What are your simple things that make your heart sing?

  1. All of the above!
    And..
    Curled up in front of the fire
    Sitting in the garden - just sitting quietly doing nothing!
    Sharing a good bottle of wine with someone you love
    Three cats on my lap, all purring loudly

    Hmmm, just realised all of these seem to involve sitting!

  3. Great pictures and beautiful words. When I check on my kids before I go to bed and they may sleepily open their eyes a little, smile at me and tell me that they love me before rolling over and going back to sleep. This is what totally melts my heart.

  4. I've always loved water-washed stones... not sure why. Maybe the feel, together with the knowledge that they are so old and formed by great forces - including the water.

  6. Such a beautiful post! It's like a poem. To all of the above, I would add fresh cut flowers from the garden, a new magazine, a new ball of yarn, the pop of a wine cork leaving the bottle, but most of all the kisses and cuddles and chatter of my two small people. x
