The simple things

I am a man who enjoys the simple things in life.  Just to clarify, there are many things that could be considered simple.  For some it is just enjoying a nice summer day, for others it could be killing a dragon in Skyrim.  I tend to fit more into the former group.  I love the sound of a soft rain on a rooftop, the warmth of a fire, the taste of sweet tea (Something I don't get nearly enough).  I prefer the simple things because they remind me of simpler times in history.  Times before computers and cell phones.  Before every young boy was considered to be "sick" just because he has a lot of energy.  (This is something that bothers me a lot.  And by sick, I mean ADHD and ADD)  Those days are ones I wish I could have truly seen.  I was born on the tail end of them.  Anywho, that is a rant for another day.
As I was saying, I love the simple pleasures in life.  The idea of sitting on a porch swing with a glass of sweet tea with the other arm around my wife (Something I don't have at the moment mind you) and watching the sun set after a day of hard work is so wonderful to me as to be almost spiritual.  A time spent not just with me and my future wife, but a time for us to bask together in the glory of the world that God has made around us.  A time to give thanks for what we have and to see that it is more than enough. 
Well folks, I hope this finds you well.  God bless!
