the simple things in life


it's the simple things in life that makes my soul sing

the sound a new book makes when it's pages are open for the first time

handwritten letters-------okay i admit it! i am a crazy woman, when it comes to mail! ; )

the street cleaning truck first thing in the morning

ice cream

the laughter of a child

the focus ring on my lens~ eh naw! ; )

the way my husband will ask me for no reason at all- "you okay baby?"

balloons ; )

I was wondering if you would like to play along??

On June 10th, for no reason at all, I was hoping we could post on our blogs, the things in life that make us happy. It can be pictures, a list, a post. No rules.
Let me know if it's something you would be interested in.

I'm IN!!
there is joy and beauty to behold in every moment...it is a choice whether or not to acknowledge it. Sometimes we all need reminders--I'll post on 6/10.

I love hand-written letters, writing them and sending them (if I got them, I'd love that too, LOL). Though I used to love my handwriting, not so much any more.

Oh, yes, count me in, Christina! This will be fun, and I like the idea of sharing the love of simple joys in life. Great to catch up on your many recent posts. We are just returned from our two-week trip...good to be back on blogland. :o) Hapy weekend ahead ((HUGS))
