Small Delights

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  If you haven't noticed already, I am writing this mornings post in the wee hours of the night (still being officially Tuesday Morning!).  This Tuesday is a very, very busy one ahead of me, so that is why I am writing this post after midnight (then off to bed I go!).  

This Tuesday I want to talk about taking pleasure in small delights.  I have been able to spend time with my nephew the past few days, and I am amazed at how much he has grown and how much he has learned.  It made me smile watching him.  He took such delight in the simplest of things.  I would look at him and put my hair in his face, and he would giggle... then wait for me to do it again.  He played in a large public fountain area with a lot of other little kids, and after everyone else was done, he would look back at us, smile, giggle and splash some more.  It makes me think about my life.  Today I thought to myself, "Am I taking as much pleasure in the little things in my life?"  I want to sketch out more time for me to read my book outside while sitting on my patio furniture... I want to go to the beach and just sit there and take in the power and serenity of the crashing waves in the ocean... I want to have more special planned dinner-for-two meals with my husband... just because.  I want to be able to realize in the moment how many wonderful moments I have in all my days.  This is another goal I want to set for myself.  How about you?  Are you with me?

Happy Tuesday to you and yours...
