The Simpe Life

I love the simple things of life. The things that are small and and not necessarily "life changing" are sometimes the things that mean the most to me and fill me with so much happiness. Things like a cup of coffee on a rainy morning, the way the sun shines through my window, bike rides with the wind against my back, songs that take me to another place and time in my life, the way the pages of an old book feel between my fingers, the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven... the list could honestly go on and on.

 This morning was one of my favorite types of mornings. It was gloomy and grey and I made coffee with my new hand grinder and Hario pour over, both gifted to me by my lovely sister-in-law. Then I sat down by the window and watched the rain trickle down the glass as I sipped my coffee, ate my raisin bread topped with almond butter and homemade apricot jam, and listen to The National. I could honestly start everyday like this and be perfectly content. 

 I am so very thankful for the simple things and the mornings that I can fully enjoy them.

 

 Just some of my favorite little things.

Cheers!
