Simple Things

Sometimes I wake up with inspiration swimming in my head.
Other mornings it is difficult to find something to elaborate on.
Some days, like today, it was one of those obvious days where a recurring theme was everywhere.


The Simple Things.


Some are not content unless they are rolling in money with the newest gadgets in their hands.
Some are not happy unless they stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Some need constant back-patting and hand-holding in order to feel ok.


Others . . .


Well they are ecstatic that their kids are settled comfortably in a new school.
They are thrilled that they can enjoy fresh flowers from their own garden.
They are over-the-moon that they are walking again.
They are beside themselves with joy that their child is happy and laughing.
They are enjoying a little quiet time with chirping birds and lapping waves.
They are frolicking in the knowledge that they are loved.


Find contentment in the people and the beauty that surrounds you.
It will far outlast your money, your fame, and your gadgets.


Go enjoy the Simple Things.
