Simple Abundance


(Picture copied from my sisters Blog!)
One of my favorite books is "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Ban Breathnach. It makes you re-evaluate life and go back to the simple pleasures. Especially with the economy..it makes you realize all of the material necessities that we have grown accustomed to, and really dont need. Anyhow...these are a few of my favorite things that I love. Fizzy Coke with a wedge of lemon, Box of See's chocolates, Cafe Rio Salad with Creamy Green dressing, Hot Chocolate with whipping cream, Sitting outside in a downpour, freshly painted toe nails, great deal for 5 bucks, silver earrings, sitting by a lake, roasting marshmallows in the mountains, riding my Maria Von Trapp bike, fruits & vegs from the garden, hot homemade bread with homemade jam,
Jazz music, Bun Basket Cherry roll, late night walk, herbal teas, dark chocolate, beauty school facials, Marzipan, Backers White cakes with flowers, my yard, the tire swing I made, steamed asparagus, Artichokes, jelly belly beans, hot chocolate chip cookies,brown or red cowboy boots,white pressed shirts,wet slicks covergirl crystals lip gloss, Burts Bees, Curel lotion, Bath & Body Works Apple Blossom, Orange Tic Tacs, Fresh lemonade,Irish Spring Soap,fresh sheets, candles..candles and more candles---actually I could go on and on. Its good to remember all of the simple pleasures....try it!
