Simple Little Things

i love putting little things around my house that speak to me.
things that make me think and feel.

old books.
big ol webster dictionaries.
chipped platters that i can no longer use,
but i hold dear cause a dear friend gave them to me.
green glass.
frames.
pictures.
quotes. 

oh man.
this is so, so, so true.
i've really been trying to live this lately..
we live so hurried.
rushing to the next thing.
constantly thinking ahead.
not being in the present.
..missing the little things..

what is it you remember?  really really remember?

Moments.

... like this moment with my sisters at Mel's wedding

or this one with my sisters and my momma at a summer concert...

*sigh*
i love pooh.
i might even love piglet more.
and what about A.A. Milne?
seriously.  what little nuggets of pure simple goodness he has left the world.

more things i love.
orchids.
candles.
more quotes. 

oh, this quote just cuts into my soul.
who do you think of and feel this?
like really really feel this
and really really hope you never have to live a day without them.

the best part about this one?
my boy repeats it, to me.
i think he just happens to see it as he approaches me on the couch,
and the first time he ever said it,
he learned that he could melt my heart with seven simple words.
which has worked out well for him whenever he wants something..
cause i melt every single time.
oh birdie.  i love you to the moon back too.

Truly.  It's just the Simply Little Things.
