A Simple Day

I had a simple day today.

I did not make anything fancy for breakfast, and we ate at the table, without hurry. Then we had no rush to do any chores, because we had done them yesterday. So we had no rush to do anything by a certain time. We took it easy and got ready and went out.

We went by the lake and took simple pleasure in having a simple lunch next to the lake, standing up. Then we fed the pigeons and ducks at the lake, took a leisurely ride on the public transport back home.

We got home and watched a movie together. We had a great time talking to family and friends on the phone. And enjoying our daughter and her moods and expressions and joys- her innocence was such a renewal of life force for me, as exhausting as it is most of the time. I laughed with my husband at her shenanigans...puled her legs, played with her, and my life was alright.

We had a day insulated from the madness of everyday, and by having a simple day, we filled our life with joy. I may not be exhausted after the weekend, which is the symptom of a 'happenning' and 'swinging' life, but I was relaxed and happy and content, and I did not think of the many many complications of my life for one whole day.

I had a simple day today. I hope to have many many more, with my husband and child- simple and unremarkable, but infinitely blessed , and hence, scintillating.
