Simple Pleasures
My friend Laura got me thinking about simple pleasures with one of her own journal entries last week. Here are some of mine; and I'm throwing out an invitation of sorts to everyone to either post in your journal some simple pleasures, or leave a comment here. Yes, that means you too.
Then, I challenge all of you to make sure you enjoy at least one of your simple pleasures over the next week. After all, it's the little things in life that bring the most smiles to a person's face.
Some of Danielle's Simple Pleasures:
- Reading a book
- A warm cup of chai tea
- A morning walk
- Singing in the car
- Curling up on the couch, wrapped in an afghan, watching a movie
- Macaroni & Cheese (in most of its forms)
- Playing a rousing game of 45's
- The Cosby Show
- Crocheting
- Snuggling into Steve's arms
- New office supplies
- Soup and Grilled Cheese
- Baking
How about you?

I usually do a post like this every 6 months or so-thank you for reminding me to remember these! I'll say:
Feeling the cool autumn air on your face while walking.
Warm apple cider
A soft kiss
Warm cinnamon buns
A hot shower and smooth freshly shave legs
Making my niece laugh
Snuggling in bed in the morning, being lazy for just a few more minutes.
I'm adding peanut butter cups.
Simple pleasures:
Waking up in the morning, late, with nowhere to be, and nothing to do, and having your wife in your arms to not go there and not do that with.
having nothing to do and organizing the house
pizza + football/bball
I'm also adding crispy garlicy bread.
Hmmm...I think I'm figuring out why my butt is so big. LOL
But also, the sound a book makes when you're the first person who opens it.
I could go on forever. Really. So I'll stop now.
Mags: You take pleasure in a lot. That's pretty admirable. :)
Steve: Your wife is quite a lucky lady. ;)
John: I can appreciate your pizza + football. There IS something to that. :)
don't forget crepes
Making pancakes for Chris.
Playing hostess.
Taking five minutes to make someone else laugh.
Finding money in an old coat.
the sound a golf ball makes when it falls into the cup. (depending on how many shots it took to make it there)
opening theme song to the office
how my wife uses my arm as a pillow when we are on the couch
how quiet it is outside after a heavy snowfall
a nice warm cup of tea
watching my husband sleep
reading a book on the couch
naps on Sundays during Pats games
when Rosie snuggles next to me
a warm shower
my blanket
