Joining Christina at Soul Aperture
here is a -short- list of some of the simple things
that make my heart sing...
watching the sunset from the kitchen window...
finding the perfect frame for a picture I love...
(picture won at Lecia's giveaway; see it better here)
a pupil's drawing with the heart-warming words " I love you, Miss"...
the first bloom in spring...
my geraniums which are still in full bloom today...
making my son laugh and laugh and laugh...
a shower of rain in the summer...
precious family breakfast...
reading The Shell Seekers every summer and Winter Solstice every winter....
collecting shells and pebbles in the summer and making crafts with them in winter...
coffee and cake on a quiet afternoon while the flat is still filled with the aroma of baking...
my angel's face while he's sleeping...
a walk in the countryside...
beautiful stationary...
the smell of old books...
girlie pyjamas...
floral bedlinen...
planting bulbs on a sunny November afternoon...
mail - sending and receiving...
laughing...
crying...
being human...
Ooooh! That was a lot of fun!

ReplyDeleteMmmm. I have enjoyed that blog so much since you introduced it to me.
ReplyDeleteA walk in the countryside....o yes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful list!
I'm so with you on the smell of old books, beautiful stationery, girlie pjs, planting bulbs, mail... and others. I enjoyed your list of simple pleasures :)
ReplyDeleteThis list had me shouting, "Oh, goodie! I've found another kindred spirit." And when I got to your Rosamunde Pilcher line, I knew it was true. I am currently on track 181 of 211 of the audiobook version of Winter Solstice. Rosamunde Pilcher is one of my favorite authors ever, and I think Winter Solstice is her best book ever. Have you read all of her books? I'm thinking of her little ones, especially. I completley love Day of the Storm. It;s so nice to meet you, friend.
ReplyDeletelovely list!! & that sunflower pic is really pretty. I'm partial to sunflowers & the reddish rust color ones are so elegant.
ReplyDeleteso many good and beautiful things
ReplyDeletein this list!

ReplyDeleteThe only things I would add are... new favorite recipes, windy days, and scraps of pretty fabric!
ReplyDeletei love this list...the smell of old books...mmmm. i love that too. is there anything more precious than watching a child sleep....i don't think so...
