"Enchanted Oak is doing a Simple Things Challenge on Saturday. Post about simple things you cherish, link up and for each post or comment on her blog $2 will be donated to a medical clinic in Haiti. Perhaps it will help provide a few simple things."Brian at WaystationOne wrote this on his blogsite Friday. When you go to her site, Enchanted Oak, Just Chris says that we could either do a post and link it to her site, or just leave a comment there. I was tempted to just leave a comment, but then thought about 'how would others know about this'. She wants to reach a goal of at least $200 to donate, and I hope that we can help her reach it, and then some.
So please visit her site before Sunday and leave a comment, or link up as I am, by posting a few of the Simple Things I enjoy.
Here is my list of Simple Things I enjoy;
A child's smile and laughter.
My cats rubbing my legs when they are happy to see me.
A cold day full of sunshine.
Snow on the mountaintops.
Wild flowers.
Flowers from my garden.
Flowers from other gardens.
Hummingbirds.
Raindrops.
My new puppy, Maggie.
Food, okay, chocolate, cakes, pies, cookies, breads, pasta, pizza, chinese food, mexican food, pretty much any type of food.
Water, milk, juice.
Watching anyone eat something I have cooked, and actually enjoying it.
My grandchildren's smile when they see us.
My mother.
My husband.
My faith and love for God and Jesus.
Helping others.
These are just a few in what I realized could be a very long list. What are your's?
And here is my first attempt at a Haiku:
Titled: My Hair!!!
Raindrops falling near,
Wetting my hair to dry now,
Curls popping up.
Haiku's are a type of poetry that is very new to me, but I am hoping that by studying and learning as much as I can about it that maybe in about 20 years I will be able to do some justice to this style. But I know that if I never try, I will never succeed. So go ahead, let me know what you think. I hope my Haiku's will grow with time and be as sarcastic as necessary.
Mags chewing her chew stick.
