Small Joys
A smile lights up her face as the oppressive clouds gave way to clear blue skies.
The fresh breeze blows the tendrils of her hair and tickle her face.
A sigh of contentment escapes her lips as she watches it flap in the breeze and shine in the sun’s reflection…
her fresh and crisp laundry.

Ah! I know that feeling even if it’s my machine that does all the hard work. Add to this that smell of detergent and ‘comfort’ :-D. Bliss!

Fresh laundered clothes give a feeling of importance. During the rainy season it is all the more welcome. Very well written.
