Guest Blogger: MJ's Simple Things List

There’s so much joy in creating a list of simple things that I decided to share one of my blog spaces, The Cottage on the Corner, with my friend MJ. This wonderful idea is the brainchild of Christina at soul aperture, a generous angel, who is donating one dollar to Doctors without Borders for every blogger that creates a list of simple things and leaves a comment with a link. If you have a moment or many to stop by Christina’s blog you’ll be stunned at the pouring out of hearts of one mind.


MJ’s Simple Things List

a good cup of coffee made in my own kitchen

sweet memories of my mom

tea parties with my granddaughter

being alone in peace and quiet

meaningful communication with a dear friend

reconnecting with an old friend

getting lost in the creative process

a newly discovered bookstore

an old familiar bookstore

art

finding something I'd been looking for

new underwear

the lift of unexpected sunlight shining through in January

a favorite pen

camera successes

a hummingbird's visit

ocean air

the woods in every season

colors

You can find my simple things list on the flip side of this blog, Write in Amazement.

    So many favorites that are mine also....the sound of the ocean, the woods and being alone, which is difficult with 4 kids living at home ;^)

    MJ's list is lovely. I'd forgotten about the favorite pen, but it's so true! Being in the woods in peace and quiet all alone... magical!

    A good cup of coffee and a favourite pen, at the same time; a recipe I often enjoy!
