simple things
a cat's nose touching mine
the smell of my man's neck
the smell of fresh sheets
the crunch of an apple
a bottle of acrylic paint
india ink
anything green
a splash of raspberry red
a grapefruit cut in half, sections cut, and eaten with a small silver teaspoon
a rock with a word on it
a smile from a stranger
this moment....
(I have lots more to say about a craft fair where I made little money but got lots of life lessons, forgiveness for yourself and for others, and the sweet sweetness of friendship but I am finding the days too short and the focus on other things for now. I hope to catch up more with my pals and then get back to posting later this week. I so got caught up in the "simple things" that many of my friends were sharing today, having been inspired by christina. I love this idea and had to play along. Sending love and appreciation for the simple things...Happy Monday, beautiful Ones.)
oh sweetie....I'm waiting to hear all about it...you can call me :)
ReplyDeleteand in the meantime....I'm so glad you played "simple things" with us....
Beautiful, Kim. I know this feeling...try :) Made me smile,

A bottle of acrylic paint! The crunch of an apple...eating a perfectly sectioned grapefruit with a silver spoon...mmmmmmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteEven the lessons learned at the craft fair...simple things...that bring so much pleasure!!
I'm adding:
long phone calls with distant friends...in particular a friend I have never met but feel I have known a lifetime and feel no "holding back" with at all!! ♥

Hey Kim,
ReplyDeleteLove the poem, can't wait to see some new journal pages about those feelings. sorry that the fair did
not live up to expectation but maybe something better came of it in the long run. Can't wait to see you.
I always think of your enthusiasm when I get juiced up in the create mode, it's you in the background cheering everyone on...
Hugs,
Corrine
Take time for Kim. We'll be here!
