my life's simple joys



There are a lot of things I’m thankful for and a lot of memories I treasure in this lifetime
Even the thought of them can bring a smile to my lips, a lift in my spirit and warmth in my heart – all because of the tenderness of the feeling they bring:

  • a walk in the rain on a hot summer day
  • looking up at the stars in a dark moonless night
  • sitting by the beach and looking at the horizon; feeling eternity and infinity merging into one moment
  • walking barefoot on the beach, feeling the warm sand under my feet
  • watching the twilight ushers in the night and enveloping everything in total darkness
  • sitting under the shade of a big tree in a cool and breezy afternoon
  • watching the soft clouds float by
  • listening to the water sing as it moves between rocks and down to the bottom of the falls
  • watching the sun slowly and serenely sink in the west bringing with it the awesome painting of different bright colors
  • feeling the breeze caressing my skin and playing with my hair
  • hearing a bird sing amidst the noise of the surroundings
  • knowing who to call when I can’t stop the tears from flowing
  • counting my winnings and gains from my losses and failures
  • not counting the days but the moments
It’s all these and more… but having YOU for a friend is the greatest…
