Whiskers on kittens
Sunshine on the grapes
Tasting grapes
A crispy apple
A child's smile
Lavender fields
Rain drops on Roses
Candles burning on a dark night
Flowers in the garden and in vases in my house
Lovely pot of tea
Cookies
Walking through the leaves
Wind blowing through my hair
Walking on the beach with the waves crashing nearby
Blue skies
Fluffy Clouds
Sunshine on my shoulders
A hug from a friend
Time spent with a dear friend or family
A good book that captures my imagination
Neighbors dog sticking her nose through the fence for a scratch
Listening to Christmas Carols starting in September
I want to break into songs of joy as I make this list.
These are a few of my favorite "simple" things.

Oh, Marilyn - So many of these things would be on my simple list. I think I'll make one today as I plan to begin my visual journal project. Something I've wanted to do for so long but just haven't stopped to do! My simple list will be a perfect start. And thank you for 'giving me permission' to start listening to Christmas music. I bought a new Christmas CD from an artist who visited our church yesterday. I was going to make myself wait - but why? I'm home today, working around the house and preparing for holiday things in advance. Why not Christmas music? I think I will! ~Adrienne~
P.S. - The kitty looks much like my Savannah, except she has a black 'smudge' on her nose. I often tell her I think it's because she' been snooping in the fireplace!
Oh my gosh...all so wonderful! Sunshine on my shoulders...ahhhh...feels like bliss!
This is love! I am feeling the fluffy clouds, enjoying the sunshine.
Your post gives me flight~
