 . Simple pleasures make me smile ~ I believe in.. Mystery and miracles ~ the magic of each new day. The lonely call of the loon, and cherished children at play. Music of the masters to relax my muddled mind, Prokofiev's 'Romeo and Juliet', or some such kind. Simple pleasures are ~ wild roses and bleeding hearts, Sun-kissed daisies dancing upon soft summer wind.. and native grasses nodding by a woodland stream, where shadows of glassy willows sway and gleam. A quiet place, some space, just to sit a spell. Sand dunes, sandals, sea-shells and carousels. Solitude, candy apples, Lavender and rainbows, Walking barefoot on the beach..warm sand between my toes. Laughter, hugs and kisses, when they're wildly spilled.. Surprise phone calls from loved ones give me a thrill. Weddings rings and morning laughter..loving someone ever after. You and I in each other eyes~ headed toward life's next chapter. . |

Those last lines hit my heart, even if I am asking myself: "if only" The beauty of our surrounding, and those words of poetry at least we can walk barefoot in when the softness is not always there in other ways we might desire a poet who cares |

OhYouRomanticNance~ I ADORE THE ALL OF THIS~ 'A quiet place, some space, just to sit a spell. Sand dunes, sandals, sea-shells and carousels. Solitude, candy apples, Lavender and rainbows, Walking barefoot on the beach..warm sand between my toes. Laughter, hugs and kisses, when they're wildly spilled.. Surprise phone calls from loved ones give me a thrill. Weddings rings and morning laughter..loving someone ever after. You and I in each other eyes~ headed toward life's next chapter.' Just some great big *SIGHS* at it all~ Thank you for giving my heart a new song to sing~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

" I think one of Life's greatest treasures is a bright red tomato on the vine. I love Life's simple pleasures. It's the little things that give me peace of mind." I loved this ! So many believe that their blessings only come from "receiving" them. And never realize that most come from "perceiving" them. Wonderful write !!!!!! |
