Simple pleasures

I think this world has forgotten about the simple pleasures in life. Too many are rushing about to meet deadlines and too busy to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. When they do, they think they need to spend lots of money, dashing about and make a great deal of noise - not true. Simple pleasures can be found without much effort and no money at all.

Here are some of my favourite "simple pleasures" that can brighten up any day.

Sitting quietly in a comfortable chair with a book is a perfect way to spend an hour or two.

Having a sleep-in on a rainy day and listening to the rain fall.

Sitting and watching the birds sing.

Looking through old photos and remembering the past.

Having a good laugh with a friend.

Reading the bible in a quiet place.

Baking a cake and sharing it with someone dear.

Going for a walk in the evening when the sun is just setting.

Hold hands.

Going on a picnic.

Making someone smile.

Playing in water.

Lying on the grass in the evening and watching the stars.

Cloud watching.

Toast with honey dripping between the fingers.

Walking barefoot on the grass.

Hot chocolate and a favourite movie.

Lying on the couch listening to a beautiful melody.

Taking a bubble bath with lots of candles.

Playing with your furry friends.

Breakfast in bed with a good book (or husband).

Playing a board game with the family.

Friday night movie in pyjamas.

Eating cookies straight from the oven.

Smell of freshly baked bread.

A compliment from someone.

Watching the sunrise.

Sit quietly in pray.

Be still.

The smell of freshly mowed lawns.

Chocolate
