Simple And Sweet

Sometimes life gets hectic,

and I fail to truly see,

the simple and sweet pleasures,

that bring sunshine to me.

Like a "petite" Coke Slurpee,

on a wet and cloudy day.  

And the giggles from my children,

when they...Hallelujah!...peacefully play.

Like going to the mailbox,

and finding a brown package inside--

Knowing that as soon as kids are asleep,

I'll take my "October reads" and hide.

  

Like quiet times and blankets,

a beloved thumb and a brown-eyed boy.

A moment of calm to remind me,

that this is what I call joy. 

(What are your simple and sweet pleasures?  Remember to find joy today!)
