Christina at Soul Aperture wrote a post on "Simple Things in life". I am following suit, as I believe in gratitude so deeply. Little things do make our lives what they are. We need to just pay attention. So for my rendition, I'll walk you through Greenwich Village, the first of two posts I'll do on this trip. Come along, and if you haven't already counted your own blessings, you may want to do your own post! According to Christina's rules, it's a list, some photos, or a post on the "simple things". The first photo I've shown you here is a gorgeous apartment on Bleecker Street, a lovely place to hang your hat and read a book when you are done venturing out for wine and pizza. So home is the first on my list.
A place to eat. Be it a restaurant, your backyard BBQ or a dinner party hosted by a friend. Where there is food, you've satisfied one of Maslow's hierarchies, and henceforth should be grateful no matter what. Each day I hit the "click to give" button on the Hunger Site. I can't imagine being in a place where my children couldn't eat. This sign represents food and also creativity, two things to feed our soul. August is located in Greenwich.
Freedoms. Liberties. Let's not take them for granted. Oh, and by the way...for my American readers....here we just call it "bacon". LOL!
Adding a little "you" to your front stoop. I am so excited about moving to my new home, because it already has a yellow front door! It will save me from painting it yellow. Oh it is a gorgeous, welcoming colour. (I've had red doors for years! Still love red though.)
For any writer, photographer, or artist...a space in which to work can be completely sacred. This is the desk space in the little apartment we rented. Two talented people reside there.
You don't need anything but a pen and a notecard to make someone's day. Christina mentioned loving opening her "snail mail". There is nothing nicer than opening the mail and getting a brown paper parcel or a handwritten letter. I can't go into a stationery store without leaving with lots of new crispy paper. I'm a bit of a vintage postcard addict too.
Last on my list today...warm apple tarts and cool lemonade. Why not???
See you next post for more little appreciations. Enjoy your week everyone! xo
