"The richest people in the world
are those who have learned to
appreciate simple things in life."
~Samuel Bizimana
This spoke to me . . .
For me, 'tis proof that I've at
last arrived! I love my age, my
understanding of life and its
various happenings . . . and I
love all sweet, simple things
in life.
Methinks my only sorrow . . .
it takes nigh onto a lifetime
to reach this point. I finally
get it. Why, oh why can't we
understand this bit of wisdom
at a younger age?!
This month, glorious October,
has brought this home to me
over and over. Coffee with a
friend, an unexpected card,
a telephone greeting, the odd
e-mail. All are simple and all
have brought me joy!
I ask myself, "What simple
things could I gift to others?
That unexpected compliment
in the grocery store, dropping
a post card in the mail, taking
the time to write a proper letter.
Since turning 75 has been so
special for me, I'm going to
dedicate this year to gifting
the simple. One small thing
a day . . . and I bet this will
benefit me even more than
any recipient!
Need to give this some thought!
