It's the little things that count

[birdienl]

Yesterday I had half an hour to spare before going to choir practice, so I slowly walked through the city, enjoying the longer evenings. I couldn't resist the flower salesman and bought a large bunch of tulips for a ridiculously low price. The city was slowly filling up with Thursday evening shoppers, but was not yet so busy as to be uncomfortable. I stopped at my favourite bookstore, a small place filled up to the top with books on dark wooden shelves with little ladders and leaved through all their newest stock.

I suddenly felt as if I was in a scene from a romantic comedy (I think Notting Hill or You've got Mail), just enjoying the best small things life has to offer!

Tulips and books -- who could ask for more! :-)

Ah well, maybe a nice guy to enjoy the tulips and books with me? That would really complete the romantic comedy association!

It is truly wonderful to just stop and appreciate the little things that give us joy in everyday life. Your evening sounds wonderful.

I think we don't appreciate the small things half enough.

That does sound almost idyllic. : )
And there are real life bookshops in your area that actually like that? Dark shelves, ladders, and all?! *is envious* : D

Yes, we do have such a bookstore. There are some pictures at their website http://www.bijleveldbooks.nl/boekhandel.html

That sounds so nice! It really does sound like a scene from a movie, where everything seems just right!

Sounds like the weather for you guys is getting nicer too. Yay spring!

Yay spring indeed! It's getting really quite warm. I've barely gotten used to wearing my summer coat and I can already walk around without a coat at all!
