I read Christina's blog Soul Aperture and feel such deep happiness. She has a way of highlighting the ordinary and making me realize how beautiful daily life can be. I love her posts on simple things and I finally decided to list some of my own.
- Listening to my four-year-old granddaughter request a book from my "book room"
- A big pot of chili cooked by my husband, ready when I get home from work
- Books and my book room
- Email from my daughter
- Heated seats in my car when the outside temperature is 16 degrees!
- Sunshine
- Phone calls with dear friends
- Blogs—I love reading blogs!
- A free bookmark included in my latest book purchase
- Getting a copy of "The Big Tidy Up" after 30 years! This was a book by Norah Smaridge that I read to my children when they were little. We all loved it—and recently it was re-released—and now I own my own copy! (You can find it on Amazon.)
- Reading The Big Tidy Up to my granddaughter
- Covering up with my FuzzyWuzzy (like a Snuggie) in the mornings while I write in my notebook
I love the way reading one blog leads to another leads to another, etc.—and before you know it, you have discovered a site that makes your heart sing—and you are not quite sure how you got there—and you are so glad you did!

Cyndy, Se'Lah, iasa, Sherry,and Christina--thank you for visiting my blog! It was exciting to discover your comments this morning. Most of you mentioned my "book room"--it is really my office/studio with two walls of books--and I love it! Truthfully, though, almost all of my rooms could be called book rooms. I have books everywhere in my house! I plan to visit your blogs today. And Christina, I have been reading yours for quite a while, and I love it!
Our book room is our living room. Two walls are completely lined with bookshelves and I love it. Isn't Christina's simple things such fun? I love how many of us are roaming the blogroads stopping to say hello here and there. So, hello to you. Happy almost-Friday.
Relynn, thank you so much for stopping by. Yes, I love Christina's Simple Things, and I love bloghopping. I find so many wonderful people that way. I think it is great that we can share so much beauty and goodness and love this way.
Thanks for leaving a comment! I followed your trail back here and I love your blog. I ordered The Big Tidy Up as I read. I can already tell I like your ideas!
Travelin' Oma,
Thank you for visiting my blog and for the comments. I hope you enjoy The Big Tidy-Up! My grown daughters still have fond memories of it--one because she liked the cleaning up idea and the other because she liked the messy room part!
