Simple Things

          ​"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise see them." (found on Pinterest)
This year I decided to record the simple but special moments that happen each day.  I thought it would be a good reminder of what is important and what makes me smile or laugh or think or cry throughout the year.  The days go by so quickly and I believe it is important to find ways to help them to slow down and this is one that is working for me.  

This habit has helped me to remember that it is the simple things that bring me happiness. If I only wait for the big moments (and I do hope to experience them) I will be missing so much of what is important.  It is the laughter of friends, the sounds of the voices of loved ones, the simple questions of concern and caring that matter to me.  It's the sunlight on the kitchen table, a beautiful sky, or the flowers that I never thought would grow beginning to thrive.  

Yesterday was a very ordinary day.  No great highs, no great lows and to be honest I was not really looking for a special moment.  But it found me.  As I went to turn out the lights to go to bed, I took one last look at the newly organized pantry and feel a moment of great satisfaction.  It was a simple but special moment that I'm not sure I would have recognized if it had not been for my greater appreciation of the simple but very special things that happen throughout the day.

I hope that you will join me in appreciating the simple things each day.  It truly makes each and every day special.

      When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!                                                                                                                             Ginny

                                                      Create the life you want to live.

Yes, simple things make life special. I chose some simple things for my Sunday sketch...things that make me happy.

Your simple painting...in much deeper than "simple". Love it.

I have missed the wisdom of your posts! You always leave me a treasure of words to remember. Today, these words just hit me right in my heart (in a good way): "It is the laughter of friends, the sounds of the voices of loved ones, the simple questions of concern and caring that matter to me. It's the sunlight on the kitchen table, a beautiful sky, or the flowers that I never thought would grow beginning to thrive."

You are so right. How'd you get so wise, Ginny? Thanks for these words. They make me smile:~)

Funny, I just started writing 5 good things that happen each day in a date book.It's somewhat of a gratitude journal (remember that Simple Abundance book?) If you haven't read it you'd love it: http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Abundance-Daybook-Comfort-Joy/dp/0446563595. Anyway, love the artwork and quote! Inspirational and beautiful!
