Serendipity Experience 61: Share Serenity!

1:44 AM

                     "The simplest things are often the truest"  - Richard Bach

With each passing day I find myself increasingly drawn to the simple things in life. I don't know if it is the increasing demands of a fast pace world, or merely the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but more and more I find myself drawn to simple joys. The lighting of a candle, a single flower in a jar, a fallen acorn from a tree, these small pleasures seem to provide me with greater joy than all the expensive and alluring treats in the shop windows. What a lovely serene gift are the simple things in life!!



A candle to light




A found treasure



A sunlit sea!


Today I am "sharing the good life" with others at  sorted with style  abeachcottage pop by for more simple serenity!

    Great post, and wonderful photographs!

  6. I am SO with you! Thank you for the inspiring and beautiful reminders. Painful arthritis and life at home with a 2 year old don't always mix real well. I am learning to take notice and relish in the simple beauties of life.

    Thanks again,

    Your blog is just beautiful and I will try and stop by often. Your photography is excellent! I"ve just dowsized and although it was hard to purge so much, now I'm happier with just what I need.
