The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
–Robert Louis Stevenson
Some of the best things in my life right now:
- flowers all over the house.
- sunshine and a light breeze flowing in.
- cats playing with each other and their toys.
- a bird singing heartily in the tree.
- a clean kitchen, with the dishwasher doing its job.
- a garden to weed this afternoon.
- steaks thawing for dinner.
- a grocery list waiting to be fulfilled.
- several good books in the process of being read.
- a loving husband sleeping (still!) upstairs.
- good health and energy.
- a cozy, peaceful home.
How about you?
Nice idea.
Added my own list here
Great list!
The mail machine was broken at the post office, so I’ll have to do a Plan B for sending Plan B.
Isn’t it fun to say “husband”?
Yes, indeed Shirl, it does feel good to say “husband.” You’ve been watching this journey for several years… hopefully there is reward in hearing (reading) it!
And thank you again for sharing Plan B with me. I’ll look foward to it; it will arrive just when I most need it, I’ll bet. 🙂
