Inspiration Thursday! Simple gifts

The notes of the wind chime blowing in the breeze.
The quiet of the forest marred only by the chattering of birds.
The sun shining on blooms I've planted and patiently watered so they'd grow.

These are the simple gifts I can find if I only look out the door... and take the time to listen.

What are your simple gifts? Are you looking around to see them? What do they say to you?

  1. The absolute best gift I can get (and it isn't really a gift) but...the sound of children playing freely, giggling, laughing, squealing in delight.

    Sometime (when I'm particularly down) I go to a park or a pool, and listen to the children. Video games are silent, chastising parents are "shushed", and children become hero's - Wonder Woman, Superman, Thor, Batman...

    What better gift is there?
