I have found such joy in simple things;
a plain clean room, a
nut-brown loaf of bread, a kettle as it sings; a leaf-laced square along a floor where yellow sunlight glimmers through a door. I have found such joy in things that fill my quiet days: a curtain's blowing grace, a potted plant upon my windowsill, a rose fresh-cut and placed within a vase. A table cleared, a lamp beside a chair, and books I long have loved beside me there.

Beautiful words, if only we could all look at life this way. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI do believe the morning tea kettle singing is one of my favorites. It's the sounds that tells me it's another day, breathe deep and enjoy! Loved your post today!
ReplyDeleteI found a little pottery vase in a charity shop. I recognized the pottery which is in Jersey in the Channel Islands.
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me of my parents who gave me a similar vase from that pottery and I put the last few rose buds and rubeckia flowers from the garden in it. A simple thing, but it gave me pleasure.
Your orchid is beautiful.
Today I found joy with my friends.
