Today will be a quiet day, a day to recuperate from our 12 hour trip from Little Rock. We had rain, stormy rain, and traffic delays at every turn. The trip was exhausting. But we spent an exhilarating week with family, good friends, and our three grandchildren.
We were so tired we slept late this morning, our bodies moving toward normal through extra rest. Our emotional and spiritual selves will need their own special kind of re-creation. That part of us took a hit because we had to say goodbye to our grandchildren and our son. So today we will spend a day close to home.
We need rest and peace. We need the simple pleasures of home.
After all, I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.  ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

My husband and I also enjoy the simple pleasures…the “normal days” which for us are very special indeed!

Thank you for your comment. I think the older I become, the more simple pleasures mean to me. I almost lost my life in 2014, and God has helped me redesign my life and what is important to me.
