"Learning the simple things that please us make for an artful life." ~Julia Cameron
I've been pondering that phrase, and made a list of simple objects that please my eye, and simple moments that please me:
- Sitting down to meals with my husband (especially breakfast)
- Phone calls from our kids
- Smiles and hugs from the grandbabies
- Waking up early without an alarm
- Cobalt blue glass
- Soaking in the bathtub
- Ticonderoga pencils
- My father's fractometer
- Mom's alligator travel case
- Elegant or unusual pens
- Playing the piano
- Dark glossy wood, especially mahogany
- Receiving real mail (snail mail)
- Quality spiral notebooks
- Laughing
- Making others laugh
- Being rewarded with outtakes after sitting through all the credits.
Glad I am at the top of the list. Whew!
