This is the time of year to notice and appreciate the simple
things that can get lost in the glitz and glitter. What are your simple
pleasures? I have too many to list but I cherish the time to think about them--
to put aside the busyness and dwell with the moment. There are the birds that stay
around and accompany us through the winter, the impressions that pine needles
and cedar twigs make on the clay, and the clever and thoughtful homemade gifts
that people give each other this time of year-- not the big fancy gifts but the
creative ones. There is the warmth of the wood stove and the pleasure the cats cozying
up to it. There are the dog’s circles of sheer joy in the snow. There is the music
so special to the holidays, and those memories from the past. I love small
gatherings, the catching up, the quiet times, the lights and goodies, and chances
to learn something new. I love the opportunity to reach out to someone I can
assist in some way, and the time to hope all over again for peace. I wish you the warmest season’s greetings,
wherever you are. May you have safe travels and quiet
moments. And may your pleasures be simple and profound.
