Life’s simple things . . .

It is amazing what a few hours in the sunshine can do for your spirits! How it heals the body, mind and soul.

Today, after months inside because of the cold, yes, we had a very long winter in Florida, and being sensitive to the light, I did adventure outside for a few hours in the sun. I have a chaise lounge on my 3^rd floor balcony, so I took my pillow and little eye pillow which is filled with lavender and adventured to the chaise.

The eye pillow protected my eyes from the brightness of the sun and the perfect temperature of the sun basked me. As I lay there, I listened to the sounds around me: the moorhens and other birdlife on the lake, the birds singing, crows cawing, the children playing in the park next door and the mild hum on the traffic on the nearby streets of people heading for their various destinations. The gentle breeze from the lake would stir around me from time to time. It all filled me with pleasure, simple pleasure.

So what ever your weekend or week day entails, don’t forget to take a few moments for some simple pleasure in your life. It might not be lounging in the sun; it might be just having a few moments at the end of a day being quiet, allowing all the stress and business to leave your body so that you can enjoy a beautiful night’s sleep.

Just make sure you take time for YOU. I did!
