The Sweetness of Life and Friendship

 

 

If you're struggling with the hardships of life
try to find little ways to ease your burden today. 



Take a break from your struggles and
engage in a little play.



Look for your life's sweet spot 
and try to live in it a little each day.


Find a way to sweeten your friendships
with kindness, love and play 
even if it's just for today .



So What's in Your Life's Sweet Spot?

Try looking for the answer in words that rhyme with "SWEET".

Here are mine to get you started thinking about yours: 

My Sweet Spot

making my home cozy and neat

cooking for others delectable eats 

going for hikes and moving my feet

reaching out to others by making them treats

gifting my friends honey or artwork because they're so sweet

Engaging a new person on the trail to 
enjoy a brief moment of a meet and greet

Letting my Honey know he makes my life complete

Taking a moment to color and draw to let my mind slow down and retreat

Listening to music with my favorite beat

Enjoying a moment in the sun and garden to soak up the heat

Taking a nap in my favorite seat

Sleeping with the smell of freshly laundered sheets

Making a batch of sourdough bread with wheat

Listening on walks for the sound of bird tweets

Hearing the pitter-patter on the trail of my dog's feet

Watching my dog enjoy a play date 
in the ultimate fun meet and greet

Spending time with my Peeps

Making an inviting environment for my kids and grandkids
when they come for a visit so we can make delectable eats and treats
and move our feets, listen for bird tweets, and generally retreat to sweet
moments of family life together--Isn't that neat?




Love one another

Love your peeps




Live each day to the fullest by filling it with life's little sweets. 
Fill it with honey, friendship and plenty of sweet and fun treats.


A Sweet Spot of Friendship

Today's sweet spot thoughts were instigated by my dear friend, Debi Blair. When she took a trip to the coast she found a man selling clover honey and she remembered that was my favorite type of honey so she brought me home a quart of the sweet stuff. 

Today's post is dedicated to Debi for being such a good and thoughtful friend who sweetened my day.
