A Simple Pleasure

Loving this quiet and rainy day My face pressed to the window pane I watch the water dripping, dripping Gathering in rivulets down the lane To be alone is for me a pleasure The only voices heard are in my mind No worry, no need for any pretense A certain sense of peace I always find So blessed to be warm and safe inside Today no place I would rather be A warm cup to hold and a good book to read Just these simple pleasures given to me…. 1/17/16

My sentiments exactly, Barbara. And I will be doing that tomorrow when the big snow hits our area. My fridge is loaded, so, too, my wine rack. With my loving dog, I can't imagine anything more perfect. / M
