The little things

We're challenged today to write an ode to life's small pleasures. There is so much that I enjoy and so many things for which I am grateful, I could write volumes. However, I'm going to try to focus my thoughts...

Every little thing

It's being able to lie in,

not rush,

do my own thing

It's time with family,

with friends,

just sitting with them

It's fresh filter coffee,

cheese cake

and flowers in my garden

It's bird song,

a spring breeze,

even contented silence

It's an absorbing book,

sad songs

and poetry

It's night markets,

violins

and laughter

It's dancing across the street,

watching sunsets with friends

and sad goodbyes

It's every little thing

in every little moment

forever in my mind
