Simple Things



This week I am participating in Simple Things, which was the idea of Christina from Soul Apeture. If you have never visited it is a site that you should.

___The Simple Things
I enjoy holding my husbands hand, seeing the twinkle in his eye, hearing his voice, watching him play ball, watching how he interacts with the pets when he picks one up to hold, his tenderness when he silently reaches out to keep me from falling, or when he walks slower as he knows I am not having a good day, or how he has never missed a doctors appointment with me, how he supports and encourages me to just be, how he held me when my Dad died,any many more, I can't write it all as the list is infinite.
Other things, children laughing, elderly people holding hands or kissing, butterflies, the sound of rain, a thunderstorm, my flowers, the silence, painting, my pets, the smell of a baby, the joy of riding a bike, walking, understanding something difficult,popcorn popping, my nieces and newphews,everyday, being alive,sight, touch,taste,smell,hearing, my best friend, laughter, balloons, music, rainbows,thunderstorms, mountains, friends, old things, old stories, life.

  1. "popcorn popping". I forgot how I like that, too. Actually, this whole post of yours was something I truly needed to read today.

    Thank you for simply being you, Cinner.

    Hugs.

  2. That's a very sweet list. Like your hubby, mine also slows down when he knows I can't keep up with his walking. Enjoy your day!

  5. Holly, I thankyou for being you, and all your encouragements and kind words.

    Lois, I think if my husband was in the army he might be a Colonel too. Lol. Take Care.

    Kendalee, There is nothing that makes me smile more than to see the love between an elderly couple especially when they are tender. If you have not seen The Notebook, it is worth a watch. Take Care

    Christina, I think this was a great idea. Let me know if you want to keep doing it. It is also a great way to learn about each other. Where did you take that amazing photo. I just loved it...Take Care, Cinner

  13. Oh, I love that the first part of your simple things list is all about your husband. What a fantastic tribute and a wonderful interpretation of this terrific idea of Christian's. I've been out of town so I'm just now getting around to visiting all of Christina's friends. I just wanted to say hello.
