just regular folk

porch sitting
enjoying  the day with a breeze playing
and dancing over you, not too hot or cold.
Diving into a good book
and receiving each new page as
a gift just for you.
Drive in the country
with the windows down,
and smelling what Mother nature has
given us, watching trees and farms
pass by.
Simple food, good company,
sharing holidays with family and friends.
Becoming engrossed in a movie,
sharing the emotions and or adrenalin rush
with the characters portrayed.
Savoring the taste of the first cup of coffee for the day...
nothing quite like it.
Old fashioned pleasures
that are so often over looked.
Nothing world changing in the everyday life
we live, just a hazy blending of good and bad.
Not trying to be glamorous, or something other
than who we are, just regular folk.
When laughter and tears are what we are made of;
when shared thoughts are received and given back;
where life is good, but not something
unachievable, not a fantasy,
but a very good thing to be thankful for.
Just regular folk.
We are happy for it,
you can keep life in the fast lane..
speeding tickets are hell
on a budget.
