Christina at Soul Aperture (whom I recently discovered thanks to rock chick julochka) invited everyone to post a list of simple things that bring you joy.
So here is my list of simple things that delight my senses:
hearing
:: the sound of my baby sleeping
:: the noise rain makes when it falls on our funny corrugated conservatory roof
:: hearing I love you, spontaneously
:: the sound of my sweet baby's laughter
smell
:: the smell of home baked cakes
:: the smell of freshly ground coffee beans
:: the smell of rain on hot pavements in the summer
:: the smell of lavender
:: honeysuckle
taste
:: chocolate
:: an egg dip dip sandwich, eaten on a picnic blanket with my baby and my hubbie, surrounded by nature
:: proper fish and chips, soaked in vinegar, eaten straight out of the paper wrapping on a windswept beach in Scotland
:: strawberries grown in our garden and popped into our mouths as soon as they turn red
touch
:: the feel of cool cotton sheets on a balmy summer night
:: a kiss stolen from my babe as he sleeps
:: when my hubbie cuddles in to me when we're sleeping
sight
:: an egg dip dip sandwich, eaten on a picnic blanket with my baby and my hubbie, surrounded by nature (ok, I cheated bit and included this twice but that's because it brings me so much joy)
:: my baby running barefoot through grass
:: the sea - just seeing it calms me
:: my two favourite boys just being together
i think these simple things should just go on and on and on....didn't feel great to write that list? it was lovely to read it too. :-)
