A few days ago someone said on Face Book, "It's Tuesday and there's nothing to do." I can't imagine never having nothing to do, but if you are one of them, here is a little article for you to solve. What do these things have in common?
Toasting marshmallows over a camp fire. Hot Fudge Sundays on a hot summer day. Cuddling a child or a loved one. Wearing a comfortable pair of old shoes. Singing your favorite songs. Dogs. Country Quilts made by hand. Taking classes in something you are really interested in. Tinkling wind chimes. Finding the first blossom in early Spring.
Well, by now you probably already know what they have in common, but here are a few more things if you are not sure. Kindergarten drawings framed and hung where all can see them. Bacon and eggs. Steel cut oatmeal topped with lots of brown sugar and a little half and half. A glass of good wine (or diet Pepsi if you prefer.) Fresh air. Watching a red and gold sunset with someone you care about and staying until it turns into deep purple. Fresh peaches, so juicy that the juice runs down your chin.
You probably all know what they have in common now. Here are just a few more reminders (there are millions.) New peas. Being silly just for the heck of it. Gardenias, fragrant and beautiful.Wearing grungy clothes. Bird songs at dawn. Fresh Baked bread with strawberry butter. Hunting for antiques.(really old things that you can make beautiful>) Lilac bushes in bloom. A kind word or note from a friend. A great book to snuggle up with (popcorn on the side.) The dove gray morning just as a flash of golden sun appears and you drink your first cup of coffee.
Enough. By now you must know that these are Blessings that can make us happy. You should make your own list of things that make you happy and post it where you can read it every day. Reminds me of the old Hymn, Count your many Blessings, see what God has done.
Until next time
Be kind to one another
