SIMPLE SMILEYS
Once again I get a chance
To wake up and take in the beauty of life
I smile to see the sleeping faces
Of my dear hubby and my baby
With a cup of hot tea in my hand
I make my usual morning visit to all my favorite blogs
And that includes yours too dear Christina
The colorful beads in my jewelry box
And a good story that I get to read
Children’s laughter, the art work of my little son
And the little ‘butterfly kisses’ from him
Watching Tom and Jerry with him
And singing ‘The wheels on the bus’
The smell of coffee and my husband winking at me
The mails of my dear friends and the voice of my parents
The invaluable comments I receive for my creations
The sight and smell of flowers at the florist
And of course even the vast stretch of snow that lies
Outside my window [it’s a rare sight for my eyes
For I don’t know how many more winters I can witness
As I’m only a guest in this beautiful country]
Yes, these are some of the simple things
That makes me happy for now.

Dear Ariel, I am visiting you in the wake of Christina's love. Your list, indeed, highlights the best of life, but I have to agree that a wink from your husband is something that can truly get your heart a-flutter!

I was singing "the wheels on the bus" just yesterday to 2 sweet little ones I am nanny to.
It was such a time of joy as I used to always sing it to my children.

ReplyDeleteDear Susan,
ReplyDeleteNo wonder, how this blog of yours became so popular!! These are not simple things, but most important things. Life is not a life if these simple things do not exist!!!
You have very well expressed the moments and I appreciate the mention of hot tea, mornings, blogs, mails, comments, winter etc. etc.
Great to read this.
In simple terms, SIMPLE, BUT MEANINGFUL!
All the best,
Renjith
Treasure your son’s creativity. When you turn old it will be priceless. Then this will make you smile.
ReplyDeleteLife has gone really fast. It looks like yesterday, waiting for the bus at plamoodu Junctn, our dance practice at Archana’s place, fashion show, canteen, sharing a bottle of cola with a bunch of friends,college election, our fights….hmmm….feeling nostalgic.
Now we all have become responsible mothers. One day we will be grand mother.ha..ha…
