The Little Things


The sweet sunny sounds of jazz warbling from the radio on the drive home.

The red and orange streaked evening sky

Getting three hearts and a happy face emoji from my Husband in the middle of the day.

Sitting on the beach on a Friday morning with him instead of being at my desk.

The way it feels when I get a hug from Cassidy or Connor.

Seeing the new fluffy white buds on the little tree in the back yard in March.

Watching a yellow butterfly flitter by.. seeing a green breasted humming bird hovering at my front porch feeder.

Hearing God whisper wisdom in my ear as I soak my heart and mind in his word.

Holding hands with Tracy as we cross a street or walk along the Riverfront.

 A morning walk to clear the cobwebs and get my heart pumping.

An unexpected, uncontrollable belly laugh.

Watching a kite dance in the wind.

Browsing through the Paris Market.
A good book that you just don't want to put down.

The far away sound of a lawn mower or the drone of an airplane on a hot June day.

Watching children play in a fountain when it's sweltering.

The Atlanta skyline at night.
Watching an old movie in a pair of comfortable pajamas.

Catching up with an old friend.

These are the things that soothe me.
These are the things that feed my soul.
When there is stress, fear, uncertainty, frustration, these are the things that calm, encourage,  provide peace and give hope.
These are the little things that make life good.
