It’s
the little things😊
What are the "little things" in your life?
Oh what a nice list of little things that are really big things. I went down the list saying YES, YES, YES... Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the more I appreciate the "little things."
DeleteAmen to all that! My sweet cat, sweet Rick, a sunny day, Harry the Heron, mail that isn't a bill or junky... and so much more!
ReplyDeleteHarry the Heron sounds interesting:)
DeleteOh, indeed and these are some of the "little things" for sure. A great list!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to occasionally just sit and think of all the wonderful things around us:)
DeleteLove this list!! The clean sheets on the bed is one of the most awesome things, especially after they have been "line-dried" during the summer! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBenita, I haven't slept on sun-dried sheets in a VERY long time but I sure remember how wonderful they smelled! I don't have a clothesline but sure miss it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSleeping in on a day off. Watching the sun rise on my way to work. Getting off early when we have a light surgery day. How happy my dog is to me when I come home. Visiting my Momma..like this weekend! My yard after I mow. The birds that visit our feeder. Finding money in an old purse. Looking at the jars of produce after I can them. If all of us think about it there's so much to be grateful for. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate those simple things you wrote about..great list!
ReplyDeleteOh, I should have thought about the birds!!! We love all the birds that come to our feeders. Had a new one we had never seen before this week....grosbeak. It was so pretty. We have lots & lots of cardinals and bluejays and we also now have some small woodpeckers. We enjoy them so much.
DeleteThe little things are amazing....I am just having trouble enjoying them right now. The struggle of losing mom in Jan is still with me. It seems to take a long time to get by this. But I love the little things that make you laugh and smile.
ReplyDeleteI am so truly sorry for the loss of your mother. I am sure it is very hard, but she would want you to always remember the wonderful memories you have and smile. In time, I promise it will get easier; you won't ever forget but you will find reasons to be happy again.
ReplyDeleteI love your list of little things. I thought I had your direct email address to reply to your comments but I guess I don't. Anyway- thanks for telling me about your 'funny uncle' that teased you about holidays, etc.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful, blessed Sunday and a great week. xo Diana
Just sent it to you:)
DeleteWe must be kindred spirits! Your list is full of the things I love. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks. I always enjoy meeting a kindred spirit:)
