That was a little sample of my elementary French skill for your viewing pleasure. That's pretty much where my knowledge ends.
What could be better than dwelling on the simple and lovely things that are a part of your life every day, the things you love? I've decided to make a list of loves for today:
1. Good Music in the morning. I woke up this morning craving Peter, Paul, and Mary's "If I Had a Hammer," but in my search for their version I also came across the version by Trini Lopez, with whom I am now enamored. And now I am listening to Chuck Berry sing "You Can't Catch Me."
2. Tea. I am always thankful for hot tea, but I need to belabor the point because I really, really love tea. With milk. And cane sugar. I'm personally a one lump of sugar sort of gal. I'm curious to know how you all take your tea. (Ahem, comments...)
3. Sunshine. It just never gets old, and I'm so glad of that. A beautiful day should never cease to be seen as miraculous, if for no other reason than God made it. And it is ours to enjoy. Isn't that something?
4. Good Reading. I just finished O Pioneers! by Willa Cather this week, and it's all I can do to not pick it up and start reading it again. It was that good. Here is possibly my favorite quote from the book:
"Isn't it queer: there are only two or three human stories,and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years."There are lots of other things I could extol for the simple beauty and pleasure that they bring to my life, but as my psychology exam is immanent, I will conclude my ramblings.
But really, could life be any sweeter than it already is? We have it pretty good, don't we?
And if your day was not already off to a promising start, here's this picture my brother made with Paint:
