Life’s Simple

Life’s Simple

I was at a gathering not too long ago, when my niece asked a random question.
What’s my favorite sound ?

At that moment, I thought ‘what IS my favorite sound ?’ and my answer to her question was “hmmmmmm.”
I told her I would tell her as soon as I figured it out.
I went home thinking ‘what is my favorite sound ??’

&  then it hit  me.
DUH !
My favorite sound is a child’s belly laugh !
So easy.
I called my niece.
She was happy to hear my answer & DUH ! of course that was my answer !

I experienced my favorite sound a few days ago.
I was playing with my 10 month old grandson.
Some silly thing I was doing brought his little heart joy.
The belly laugh out of that boy was priceless.
I didn’t know I was a comedian but, he thought I was a hoot.

Yep.
For me, there is no better sound in the whole wide world than a child’s belly laugh.

As I was flying home on that big, ol jet plane yesterday, I was thinking of my grandson’s laugh.
Which, led my mind to think of all of my other favorite things.
& that’s when I realized I had experienced my five favorite senses, in a matter of a few days.

As I was taking a walk a day or two before, I got a wonderful whiff of fresh cut grass.
oooo weee I love that smell.

I had made my mom’s spaghetti sauce for dinner and although I’ve made it quite a few times, it never tastes as good as Mom’s.
But, this time, it came pretty darn close.
YaY.
That’s my favorite taste.

On a short bus ride to meet up with my daughter, I met a nice young lady.
Talking to her made both the bus trip and sitting in the bus station a very pleasant experience.
As we said our goodbyes, we shared a ‘we just met but, that doesn’t matter’ hug.
Yep.
Favorite touch.

And finally, as I was traveling home, I saw the sunrise from an airplane window.
oooooh yeah.
What a sight.

This morning, I am sitting in my kitchen looking at my big, bald, beautiful tree.
I’m waiting for yet another sunrise.

The weather people tell me a foot of snow is headed my way.
That means shoveling snow is in my near future.
Yahooooooo !
I am seriously going to explode with happy.

Life’s simple pleasures.
They really are the best.
