It is always the simple that produces the
marvelous.

Have
you heard that new McDonald’s slogan?
I
have – at least nine thousand times...
“The
simple joy of having it all.”
And
it’s cracked me up nine thousand times, too.
Actually,
9001 now that I’ve typed it.
Here’s
a newsflash –
There
is absolutely, positively NOTHING simple
about having it ALL.
And
all implies, well, ALL –
Poison
ivy, badger attacks, quicksand, the plague… etc…etc.
I
don’t know about you, but I’m just not feeling the joy there.
Here’s
a slogan that’s more to my liking:
All joy is
simple.
I
figured it out back when I was five –
in
the moment I reached beneath the red hen and discovered…
that
beautiful brown egg.
PROMPT: I’ll bet that
you knew the “All joy is simple” rule back when you were five, too. What was
your moment of delightful discovery?
Wishing
you a weekend of simple joy…
Thanks. Back atcha! I hear there's been nothing but sunshine since we've gone. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt has been a CRAZY late summer -- no rain predicted for at least another week. I think the NW is just happy for you and your new adventure. ;)
