Friday Fun Day - Unexpected Smiles

Small Pleasures

Sometimes a cute little note
that someone you don't know wrote
that is worded wittily neat
can brighten your day
in the most special way
because it is most unexpected
when small pleasures aren't neglected.

  1. What I love are fun little rhymes like this.
    They always brighten an otherwise somber mood.
    I need to work more on those.

    1. That is why I love writing them so much! Even when I'm writing about something that makes me angry, if I can rhyme it in a clever way, then I'll always be smiling at the end. :) I enjoyed your rhyme this morning. :)

  2. How true! Sometimes it is these small things that give us the most pleasure. I have never had someone write a note like that for me. Maybe someday. Rachel

    1. Keep your eyes peeled Rimly! Someone may have written a note to everyone that you won't see if you aren't looking... menus, receipts, etc. :)

  3. Dear Rachel,
    Happy Friday!
    I so agree. I leave my wife little notes all the time. I even ring her several times a day just to hear her voice and tell her how much I love her. That's just me and the kind of guy I am. Of course, anything remotely chocolate can also work wonders as a mood changer too (smile). Thank for sharing.

    1. LOL. Good man! You obviously clicked the links. :) I'm assuming that note was written on accident by a very distracted female or a very irritated, passiive agressive man. Of course, you know what they say about assuming... :P

    1. Thank you, Rimly! Kids notes are the best. :) The neighbor kids put one in the mailbox for me once. It is still on my fridge. :)
