The simple things

Sometimes luck finds you and you get the opportunity to do something that truely 

makes your heart sing.

The other day i was supposed to be working a late shift, 

I had whizzed around all morning, tidying and completing as many chores as possible.

Just as I was about to get ready to go to work, my boss called and offered me the day off

. . . Yes . . .

So since the house was tidy i thought this time is man and I looked to my sewing cabinet 

I had new fabric and an idea in mind, but I needed a table to cut my fabric out

My dining table was covered in clothes ( I had just folded) waiting to be put away by their owners

So I went outside to our outdoor area

under the marquee I could feel a gentle breeze blow across my skin

I could hear the cicarda's chirping 

And it was just a beautiful day

I felt filled with joy

So I cut out my new skirt and then was ready to head inside to start sewing, and then I thought why go inside ? It was lovely outside why not enjoy it

I grabbed an extension cord and miss Bonnie and set myself up

Within a an hour my skirt was almost complete.

The simple things 

A gentle breeze, the sun sparkling on the water in the pool, the cicarda's and the hum of Bonnie.

Too many times I run around doing  this or that and rarely allow myself  to stop and  enjoy some of the simple pleasures in life.

But after this I intend to stop more often and give myself more time off
