The simple things

[flintlock]

As I went outside to bring the dog in tonight I was immediately stopped in my tracks by the singing of crickets and other such night-time critters.  What a joyous chorus they were and a smile made its way across my face, that had been a frown for most of the busy day!

Thanks be to God for such simple things, in this time of HURRY.

I hope I never make myself too busy as to miss such simple pleasures!

Great thoughts. I love the cicadas this year. Loud and proud.

Nothing gives me that feeling like sitting outside listening to whippoorwills in the spring, I've never heard a cricket.

Well put Wess. I look forward to the sound of the spring peepers every spring too. My Mom is 89 and she is thrilled to hear a Whipoorwill. Says it brings back memories of her childhood in Tennessee. I know someday Mom will be with God and I will be left with fond memories when I hear the whipoorwills.

I had much the same experience the other day when I heard a tree frog.  I just had to stop and listen for a moment in my rush to get to my next appointment. 

Thanks for the reminder.

I think if everybody enjoyed and appreciated the simple thing in life there would be alot less need for antidepressants. Alot less crime and violence. thanks for sharing that thought
