Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

A GENTLE BREEZE
Question Of The Week 4-7-14
Ice cream cones, a puppy dog kiss, a tender touch we seem to miss, a gentle breeze that calls our name, a walk in moments memories frame.
Colorful sunsets, Kitty purring, Plants thriving, successfully fixing things, making new unexpected art-work, music, or concepts, chocolate, hearing the familiar voice of an old friend over the phone
Wow...so many ideas come to mind. I guess my first smile of the day...it always comes when I open my eyes and see her beautiful face in the morning's early light (Rob)
Oh, I'm big on simple pleasures...a cup of tea after a long day...sitting on the porch during a summer storm...walking with Charlie by our favorite lake...the moonrise on a hot summer night...sharing a belly laugh with my hubby and kids...I could go on and on...
One of my simple pleasures is clicking on "Fools Rush In" and seeing Slim's picture.
I always say,"Hello, Slim. How are you today?"
In the old picture of her she was on the sofa with all the white cushions around her and I wished I was there and could jump right into the pillows with her.
Sleeping without an alarm set. Sweet baby feet. Listening to the rain. Hot soup. Finding cherries dipped in chocolate at Home Goods and having that for dinner. :)
Lying in a hammock with a blue sky over head with a soft breeze. Sunrise, sunset. Laughing with friends or family. Seeing the first slip of green peeping out as seeds come to life. Being warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.
Just my own space and privacy; and my two furry, four-legged rascally mates. My needs are simple.
Chatty Crone...I hope those naps are taken inside with the sound of the rain on your roof...if you are taking them outside in the rain...don't forget your raincoat and umbrella. Sandie! ;)
Watching my grandchildren play. Dancing like no one is watching. Chocolate. A good night's sleep. Laughing until my stomach hurts. Taking photos. Waking up each day. Hugging my kids. Oh dear, I seem to have an endless list here.
Talon A good belly laugh can echo the tops of our heads to the tips of our toes can't it?
Cliff You wear your pleasure, pride and love of family like a big banner across your chest.
Nancy I guess I'll have to try and find the picture of Slim on the couch to use as my header again. It is important to enhance your simple pleasures when I can. Then you can return to favor by writing another story for the Elder Storytelling Place:)
Lynn Cherries AND chocolate, my two favorites. Oh please invite me over for dinner:)
Elephant's Child It is hardly a “simple mind” I see putting your blog together. I do love your simple pleasures.
Lisa Someday I am going to have a swing on my porch. One of my dreams:)
Brighid Bingo!
Arkansas Patti I do ditto them all.
Lee Nice simple pleasures. Good response to Chatty Crone Sandie. I too feared she would be getting soaked in the rain. lol
Tabor Sometimes I will dance like no one is watching then I will see Slim staring at me thinking “She's gone crazy again.”
heartinhand Amen sister, again I say Amen! Do I hear another Amen!
Sitting in my side yard on a lazy summer afternoon enjoying a warm breeze blowing down the mountain while listening to our feathered friends sing praises to the one above.
I take pleasure in so many simple things... here are a few. Ice cream is definitely on that list. Feeling loved by my family. Driving alone and singing to my favorite songs. Solving a math problem successfully (yes, this is one of the nerdy ones). Napping on a rainy day. Gosh, I could go on and on.
New music
ReplyDeleteNew clothes
An ice cold beer in the sun
My kids laughing together
My partner saying "I love you".

Changes in the wind
