Not the big treats like a cruise or a wonderful meal out, but the little things, often very inexpensive, which bring a smile to my face each day.
There's the first cup of coffee when I get up in the morning. Or later in the day, iced water by my side,
There's the pleasure I get each time I open my cupboard and see the lovely china which I now use everyday and not just on special occasions.
There's the joy of an audiobook read by a talented actor who brings the story alive in a special way.
There's the gratitude I feel when someone brings me a bunch of flowrs, especially flowers fresh from their garden.
There's the hilarity I feel when Jack means to tell me he's ravenous but instead tells me he's ravishing. Fortunately for his blushes that was said on the phone!
There's my annual treat which I had this week, of visiting the seals who each year come ashore not too far from here and have their pups.
At the end of each day getting into a bed made up with white, pure cotton sheets.
My T is for Treats too when I get there!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the seals
And reading that will be a Treat for me!
DeleteLittle treats are somehow more meaningful than huge ones. Mine is that first cup of very hot coffee at about 11am, made in my mini cafetiere.....the scent is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes, once I realised how wonderful fresh coffee was, it was a treat I wanted every day.
DeleteIt is the little things that bring a smile to our faces that are actually the biggest treats of all. Especially when one adds them up each day.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
it can be quite a big sum to add up each day!
DeleteWaking up and seeing another bloom on the Christmas cactus. Bumping into a friend unexpectedly in town an having an unplanned coffee date together (with cake) Rediscovering a book which I thought I'd lost but had been put on the wrong shelf (and backwards!) Dark chocolate Tunnocks wafers....
ReplyDeleteSo many treats! So much delight!
DeleteAnd not a sugary one among all those treats.
ReplyDeleteEven the coffee is black and unsweetened!
DeleteSome very lovely treats, mine is that first cup of tea in the morning made by my lovely hubby.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect.
DeleteIt truly is the little things, isn’t it Mary? Mostly the things that make me smile — so necessary in todays world.
ReplyDeleteSmile on and enjoy those treats.
