The Simple Things

 

The birds singing.

 

A tree bending and dancing with the wind.

 

The first cup of coffee of the day.

 

The sun rising or setting.

 

The clouds rolling.

 

A long walk.

 

A great book.

 

Music.

 

Silence.

 

Conversation with a friend.

 

Time in nature.

 

Exercise.

 

A gratitude practice.

 

An early night.  Or perhaps a late one instead. Or an afternoon snooze.

 

Listening to the rain fall.

 

The decadence of cinema on a Monday afternoon, when everyone else is hard at work.

 

The sound of laughter.  Or the waves upon the shore.  Or a distant roll of thunder.

 

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things.  If we just take the time to notice and embrace them fully.
