The Simple Things
The joy at completing your to do list
Having a tidy house
Having time to walk the dog,
The dog bounding around with joy on his walk, tail up and sniffing everywhere you go
Child climbing the slide, the right way and the wrong way
But having fun both ways
Eating dinner outside
In the glorious evening weather
Eating strawberries straight from your plants
Laughing at the excitement of eating the strawberries
Waking in the morning after a good nights sleep
Reading a picture encyclopedia at 7.45am
I know strange but true
It all the simple things that count
But that get forgotten throughout the day
But sometimes when the simple things get noticed
Your day seems a little bit brighter and a lot happier!
This week the Writing Workshop prompt is What Today Meant, please pop over and read the other posts, and why not join in!
This post is lovely. Although I never complete my To Do list! We found tiny strawberries growing in the bank on the towpath on the way to the station this morning. It is great to notice the simple little things that make you happy. You should add this post to Josie’s linky http://www.sleepisfortheweak.org.uk/2011/07/04/writing-workshop-prompts-what-today-meant/
