It’s usually the simple things that touch our soul most profoundly and yet ironically these things are often the most overlooked.
They’re the everyday things that we begin to take for granted. The sun comes up every morning and sets every night and it’s just another part of the day. Every now and then we remind ourselves how truly awesome this “event” is, how privileged we are to see another dawn…but all too often it blurs into the busyness of the day.
It’s a simple thing and yet…its not. It’s extraordinary.
A few other simple things that I’m enjoying and thankful for these day:
warmth and sunshine
*
a soul rejuvenating rest
*
time, with no demands on it
*
waking to the sounds of tropical birds that are new to my ear
*
beach music…(the never ending waves and chatter of shore birds)
*
funny, funny pelicans who look so strange and yet so wise
*
sharing laughter
*
friends…new ones, old ones, near ones and far away ones.
*
a very special group of women friends that the universe recently brought together
*
a course of spiritual study…the right place at the right time with the right person
*
I’m taking part in Christina’s Simple Things post today at Soul Aperture and the photograph above was taken from my dining window this morning as I sipped my cup of tea (yet another simple pleasure!) and enjoyed the rebirth of the world into another beautiful day.
