All About You in 52, Week 31

31! For those who are looking for Week 30, that was a freebie week. Vicki took advantage of that week to answer the question "what sound is the most comfort to you?" Great question and answer. Thanks Vicki and again so many of you are "catching up." You don't know how much I admire you. I'm not that great at "catch up."

I've had several weeks of non-stop events, family gatherings, crops, teaching and demo-ing. Sunday I stepped outside to look at the sky and breathe in deeply and slow my mind and body down for a little bit. WARNING: this can be addictive. LOL

Simple Pleasures. Ever laid on your back and watch the clouds? Or get up at 2 in the morning to watch a meteor shower? Ever search for that elusive 4 leaf clover? Have you collected leaves in the fall? Have you ever made a snow angel? Have you ever taken a walk just to discover something new? Have you just breathed in Simple Pleasures?

Question

What was your simple pleasure

Answer

Journaling

"When I was young I enjoyed lying on the ground looking at the clouds dreaming of things to come. Now I sit in my swing under the tree and smile at my blessings."
