Simple Pleasures

As I get older, simple things give me pleasure.  Reading about niece Karen taking a walk or something funny one of the kids did, hearing my daughter laugh, knowing my younger son is cooking a family easter dinner to having a chat about "nothing in particular" with my older son.  Watching a good movie ("The King's Speech") on a quiet Saturday afternoon.  I could make a whole list.

I remember the days when it seemed to take a lot to entertain me.  I didn't want to stay home, that was too boring.  I needed to go where the action was.

Now, I thrive having quiet time, I enjoy a mesmerizing book in my hand, surfing through FaceBook, or researching "new stuff" via the internet. I can't wait for good weather so I can sit on the deck and read or work.

Now, for another simple pleasure.  I am headed to the basement family room @ 2:27AM, wearing my cozy flannel pj's.  I will put a favorite movie into the DVD player and fall asleep before 3AM.

So glad I could add to your list of simple pleasures! I also enjoy many simple pleasures, but I do like "running" somewhat as well. Maybe that will change with time... I believe that it is important to aknowledge the simple things that make you happy. They are easily recalled and can bring a smile to your face, but are too easily taken for granted. Good post!
