Small things I Live to Enjoy
One really good walk with a friend.
One kiss from someone I love.
One fresh strawberry just picked.
One super scene I’ve written and know is exactly the way I want it.
Oh, and a toothpick. I love that, especially after a Mosquito Sandwich ( You had to read my last post to get this one.)

THANKS STEPHEN TREMP |
Hope you’ll join in on Monday for the W4WS event. CARRIE BUTLER and I are up for the featured writers and would love your support.
Misha Gericke says
Those are some excellent things to celebrate. I had some strawberries this afternoon. Even made this cloudy and rainy day feel a bit sweeter. π
S.K. Anthony says
A good walk with a friend and a kiss from someone you love sounds perfect to celebrate with fresh strawberries π They all sound good to me *sigh*
Cathrina Constantine says
A sweet kiss from someone you love is the best!
Beverly Stowe McClure says
All good things to enjoy.
I'm going to do the tweets this afternoon.
Lynda R Young says
Freshly picked strawberries are seriously scrummy π
Nas says
Great! Good on you for the super scene!
All the best!
Pk Hrezo says
Aw, nicely said! I made a list once in my early 20s of simple things I love. I highly recommend it. Life is def about those precious moments that we tend to overlook for flashier, faster things.
Medeia Sharif says
I love the simple pleasures of life. I hear you on a great scene or chapter.
Tania. F. Walsh says
Now you've got me intrigued about the mosquito sandwich.
VikLit says
Kisses and strawberries sounds lovely! π
Al Diaz says
Ah excellent joys of life. Can't decide what I like most, but I think I'll go with the kisses, hahaha. I will have to read your last post to find out about mosquito sandwiches.
Jemi Fraser says
There's nothing quite as yummy as freshly picked berries!!
Marcia says
A perfect summer peach.
Tara Tyler says

I wondered who the other W4WS author would be! I'm SO happy to share this month you you. π
Catherine Stine says
Will be doing W4WS on Monday!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Yay! Thanks, Catherine.
J.L. Campbell says
You can count on me for help on Monday. Have a great weekend.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, J.L. Appreciate that.
Christine Rains says
Great list! It's the little things that really make a difference. I'm cringing thinking about a mosquito sandwich. See you on Monday for the W4WS event! π
C. Lee McKenzie says
Good sandwich to cringe about, Christine!
Mere Joyce says
Wonderful list. Fantastic things to celebrate, for sure. Have a great weekend, =)
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks for the visit! Congrats on your husband's job offer. Here's to his success on that test.
Cherie Reich says
Great list! And now I want strawberries. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm into peaches this week. Huge crop. May I send some?
Bish Denham says
It's those pesky little mosquito proboscis. They'll get you every time.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Painful and itchy!
DEZMOND says
I desperately want those first three π
C. Lee McKenzie says
And you shall have them.
Lexa Cain says
That was such a lovely list, and I laughed about the toothpick for the mosquito sandwich! Writing something you're satisfied with is a great accomplishment. I never seem to be able to stop criticizing what I write – revising is never over, but eventually, I move on to the next thing. Have a great week, Lee! π
C. Lee McKenzie says
Back at you, expat. Think of you a lot whenever I read the news.
As to revision, we're on the same track. Someone has to yank that manuscript out of my hand and break my pencil.
Carol Kilgore says
Great items to include on your list! I especially like the kiss from someone you love π
Happy Weekend.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Me, too! Thanks, Carol.
Julie Flanders says
Great list! It's such an awesome feeling to get a scene just the way you want it to be.
Congrats on W4WS, I'm looking forward to it!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Julie. See you Monday. Enjoy your weekend.
DMS says
Loved your list. I love walks, sweet kisses, and fresh fruit. I hope to not eat a mosquito sandwich (lol)- but if I did- I would definitely want a toothpick. Oh- and mouth wash. π
~Jess
C. Lee McKenzie says
Ditto that mouth wash!
M.L. Swift says
I just carry one of those doggie toothbrushes that you slip on your finger and brush awayβwe have way too many mosquitoes for a mere toothpick.
No need to come over…I've not written anything new since last time you visited. Just wanted to see what was new over here. π
M.L. Swift, Writer
C. Lee McKenzie says
Ha! Love that you've saved me a visit. Hope you liked yours here. You're more than welcome to come with your toothbrush anytime. π
Suzanne Furness says
Sometimes the simple pleasures of a long walk or a freshly picked strawberry are the things we forget to celebrate. Well done on nailing the scene, that's brilliant.
C. Lee McKenzie says
The joy of the small things is the best. Happy weekend, Suzanne.
klahanie says
Greetings Lee,
It's nice to know you live to enjoy a walk with a friend and kissing someone you love while eating a strawberry as you think about a super scene you wrote that is like perfecto n' stuff and you celebrate all of this by reading my run-on sentence and tooth picking a Mosquito Sandwich.
"4W4S" huh? Okay, Carrie and your amazing self can wait my imminent arrival.
"Small Things Hop." Fleas, crickets, mites and correct, ticks.
As usual, but it needs saying, your starstruckest fan,
Gary π
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm going to celebrate those hoppy critters next Friday. And maybe a few run-on sentences just for fun!
Lovely to hear from you a always.
Deanie Humphrys-Dunne says
Nice special things to celebrate this week! Hope you have a lovely weekend. Will try to stop by on Monday to celebrate with you.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Look forward to seeing you, Deanie! Enjoy your Sat and Sun.
Natalie Aguirre says
Your first 3 small things are so sweet.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Makes me want more of each of them! Happy weekend, Natalie.
Diana Wilder says
OK, I have to read that prior post.
How about waking up briefly, looking out your bedroom window and seeing a mesh of stars through the trees? Ah…
Have a wonderful weekend!
Diana at Diana Wilder β About Myself, by Myself
C. Lee McKenzie says
Seeing those stars works for me. Here's to both our weekends being beautiful.
L. Diane Wolfe says
A really good walk with my husband always makes me happy.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Very sweet, indeed.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
A toothpick? You'd fit in well here in the South.
All set to promote you and Carrie on Monday!!
C. Lee McKenzie says
THanks, Alex!
