Three Beautiful Things (1)

What a great meme, to write about three beautiful things! What a great way to practice mindfulness! There are so many beautiful things in our lives, may we all exercise this gift often. I endeavour to make such an entry at least once a month.

Here goes:

kissing couple   
I saw them unpacking her bags from his car in a flurry of door-openings and door-closings and awkward gestures. To me, it looked like the confusion that new love and excitement can create. Not long after making their way through the garden, they stopped to re-distribute the three small bags. That is when he took her face in his hands, looked at her, then kissed her. A simple act which I believe masked a certain giddiness. It made me smile.                                                                                                                                                      
mauve crocuses  
Only saw them out of the corner of my eye. So pretty, for a moment I forgot that I was tired and hungry.

He had eaten his dinner. I am glad.
