the simple things

life always seems so rushed.  i blinked and another year has past. all see me as another year older but i don't feel so.....well maybe the hair is a bit more wispy and greyer......the mark of distinction? wisdom?
the joints a bit more rusty and the paunch ????? well enough said.

i have always been adverse to gardening but lately my breeze and i have put our thumbs to it. as we don't have a garden of our own we have  bought a few flower trays and pots and tried our hand at growing a few herbs and flowers.we take time to walk and admire the growth, water when needed and generally admire the fruits of our labour.



as success is  attained and tomatoes,parsley,spinach and basil enjoyed i have wondered about what caused the change of heart.
after a bit of thought......yip, that still works... i came to realize that it was not the size of the project that counts  but the time, care and most important, the joy you find in working side by side with someone you love.

it is sharing the simple things of life that make the big things more bearable.
