Simple Pleasures

Thank God for simple pleasures! The autumn is typically a time when I focus on simple pleasures. Maybe that's because the Fall is when it becomes clear to me how over-extended I am (and my kids too). October has been especially busy - the last two weeks exceptionally so. There's still been time for fun -- there's always time to have fun. But sometimes you can even over-extend yourself with fun (last weekend I carved 10 pumpkins for nieces and nephews).

This weekend's different. My sister came in from Charlotte for a visit. It's great just to sit around and talk. My daughter and I spent the day together. The weather was perfect, the clouds amazing, the moon gorgeous! I couldn't have asked for a simpler or better day.

Don't forget to savor the simple things!
