Life turns on the simple things, I believe. They are the things that keep us going, that provide us with that little boost, that make life worth living.
In no particular order, here are some simple things that I really enjoy:
1. Chocolate. The darker, the better. And if it arrives as a brownie, I’m in heaven.
2. Being greeted by my dog at the door. He’s so nonjudgmental. He doesn’t care what’s going on. He’s just happy to see me.
3. A sunny, crisp, windless fall day. They are so gorgeous!
4. A good glass of red wine. I’m quite fond of the new-world wines, but Europe has some pretty good stuff, too!
5. Reading my favourite people on WordPress.
6. Browsing a newspaper from front to back on a Sunday morning with a pot of coffee at hand. And not an online paper, either. I haven’t been able to do this much lately as I’ve been really busy.
7. A hug from my M. He gives the best hugs!
8. A beach on an ocean.
9. Reading a great book. The kind of book that leaves you wanting more.
10. Visiting with my best friends.
There are lots of other simple things that I enjoy – these are just a few of them.
What are some of yours?
You’re so right – the simple things are definitely the best – especially as we get older.
My simple pleasures include – having the house to myself and having absolute quiet here: it doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, it’s bliss!
My morning cup of filter coffee, very strong, gets me started for the day and a nice clean car – inside and out.
I occasionally like having the house to myself, too. It can really be great!
I like your list. Something I’d add is sitting in my front yard on a summer morning before it gets too hot.
Oh yes – I like sitting outside in the summer, too! 🙂
Your list is good – though I’m not a lover of fresh crisp air – I like mine humid and mellow like 🙂 A cold glass of ice coffee on a hot summer morning. Walking in a forest in the summer. Sitting next to an open fire (in winter) and receiving nice comments from my lovely readers 🙂 xx
Yup – I like iced coffee and open fires, too. There are so many great simple things that don’t get enough attention, I think! 🙂
I totally agree – now where’s that wine!!! 😉 x
You had me at brownies!
So good, especially when they’re dense! 🙂
The love the list; here’s to simple things, amen. xxTR
Thank you! 🙂
