January has given my state, California a beating....back off January....we're ready for some peace and quiet, some respite.....some simplicity...........
I've discovered some more simple things I love:
Trading books with my sister....
sharing with her my favorite used book store
Learning.....
new school books and new classes to incite my mind to think
hunkering down in the recent storms and power reading several new books
The sound of the dog dreaming....
with his little legs 'running' in his dream
The sound of the 'shutter' on my camera....
the images, no matter how mundane, my camera captures
Hot tea in a porcelain tea cup....
with a saucer and one lump with some milk
Ramen noodles....
with fresh veggies tossed in at the last minute
Toast with butter.....
and honey
Observing a young couple.....
newly engaged, plan their wedding
Discovering beauty in a fallen tree.....
revelling in the adventure of studying the tree in its prone position
Quietly observing cloud patterns....
as a storm moves itself along and dissipates
Falling asleep.....
after a big day, dreaming about tomorrow!
Go see Christina, for every comment on her simple things post her family will donate a dollar to Haiti....she is such a beautiful SOUL....
Peace
♥
