Rain is so infrequent in Los Angeles, granted, during the winter months, rain is more frequent, and is greatly appreciated when it does come.
The rain came today.
I like when it does, it slows everything down around us. It gives a new look at the life surrounding you, and the calmness sets in.
A week out before Thanksgiving. The grocery stores are crazy busy, everyone’s getting in their last minute shopping in. I’m finally getting to try that new Sweet Potato recipe I learned about from Simple Gourmet.
But, on this day, I feel as if it’s okay to be a bit lazy, that it’s okay to take things at a slower pace, and that it’s okay to think about the life around you and appreciate the simple things.
This is my list of the simple things in life I love:
*The day the rain comes
*Vibrant colors of flowers, and their smells
*A child playing in the park, or chasing butterflies
*Clementines when they come out in season!
*Learning how to cook something new, trying a new recipe for the first time!
*The cats laying next to me taking their “cat naps”
*Living near the Ocean
*Knowing in a month I’ll be visiting home
*and the loved ones in my life.
There are so many things to appreciate about life, I hope you take the time to think of your list, and perhaps share it with me below =)
Happy Rainy Sunday to those in SoCal. For everyone else, Happy Sunday!
