From Where I Sit Day 7 – Simple Pleasures

May 7, 2018

#fromwhereisit sometimes it truly is the simple pleasures in life that you realise are the biggest achievements or best rewards. Tonight my kids made dinner – without complaint. Nothing extravagant, and still lots of guidance but it just feels so good!

Other simple pleasures I have acknowledged lately:

Hugs from my kids when they arrive home from school

Holding hands with my hubby

Not having to wear thongs in the shower (hey, I just got back from a weekend of camping)

Hearing my mums voice

My dogs constant excitement and affection for me

Kind messages from friends, especially at uncanny times that seem to pep me up when needed

Peppermint tea and Tim tams

Time to myself

My hubby’s incessant singing (he doesn’t even realise that he sings songs that represent his feelings)

A full punnet of strawberries free from mould

Other people’s talents

A smile from a stranger

My hubby patiently listening to my long winded stories

When you are on the same ‘wavelength’ as another human (you know when you have eerily parallel thoughts to another?!)

Banter with my sisters and brother

The spectrum of light that comes from my diamond ring in the sunlight

Sunlight warmth on my skin

Just being appreciated for who I am!!!

I could keep going all night, but hopefully you can find a simple pleasure of your own to reflect upon.
