I noticed them today - the simple things. The bright sunshine, the strong wind, my 3year-old's helpfulness. I soaked in the sunshine, the happy words, the joyful play. I savored the smell of my husband after his shower, and the look of him in his clean clothes. I enjoyed every bite of my dinner, and took delight in its pretty appearance on my plate. The hot dishwater warmed my hands. The clean window allowed me a lovely view. My socks and shoes warmed my cold feet. My children obeyed without murmur. My baby fell asleep contentedly after her meal, and I smiled.
And when I go to bed tonight, I will feel the softness of my cushioned mattress and down comforter and revel in it.
Because the simple things are what we are given every day.
I am thankful.
