Simple Pleasures

I think I’ve done this before, but I’m in the mood for a “Simple Pleasures” list. You know…those wonderful little things that make you smile and be happy you’re alive?

Please comment with your own if I don’t list yours!

  1. Sleeping in
  2. Fresh flowers
  3. Finding a few extra bills in a sweater you haven’t worn for months
  4. Getting personal snail mail
  5. Lemonade on a hot day
  6. Hot cocoa on a cold day
  7. A good book and a warm afghan
  8. Working up a sweat
  9. A meal of satisfying comfort food
  10. An empty laundry hamper
  11. Freshly washed bedding
  12. Crackling fire in the fire place
  13. Clean windows on a sunny day
  14. Crisp newspaper and a hot cup of coffee
  15. Clean house and nothing pressing to be done
  16. A phone call from an old friend
  17. Home baked bread
  18. Laughing
  19. Finishing a project
  20. Going to bed early with a book

Do What You Love

Avoid all types of burn-out (including even fat burner burn-out – eat what you want also, in moderation) and concentrate on what you love. We’ve all heard about the law of attraction and how living your life by pursuing the things you love will naturally bring these things to you in abundance. What do we have to lose? Why not try it?

There is absolutely no risk in pursuing the things you love. I cannot think of a “worst case scenario” in this situation.

Try it and see what happens.
