Sitting at the table watching the birds at the feeder & watching the cats watching the birds
Being hugged by a friend
Dancing by myself to some kick-ass music
My husband reaching for my hand in the middle of the night
The first taste of cheesecake as it explodes on my tongue
Finding a book I have been waiting forever to be released
The smell of roses




jayded34 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/22/2007 6:10:45 AM)

seeing the smile on my granddaughter's face when she comes to visit
the smell of fresh bread baking
the warmth of a soft fluffly towel straight out of the dryer
hearing laughter of my loved ones just being joyful
the taste of wine from his lips




softness -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 10:05:15 AM)

finding there is one last biscuit in the biscuit tin *s*

A putt in the sunshine, my neighborhood cardinal who arrives daily at 11:30 for his lunch, Earl Grey tea made from real tea leaves on the porch, the fat black and yellow bumbly bees who visit with me while i'm gardening.

Believe it or not, i can remember sitting IN the tree, listening to the breeze blowing thru the leaves, watching birds land on the branch right next to me....even had a favorite tree!

Others are sitting on the beach, listening to the waves, laying in the grass star gazing.....watching a thunderstorm roll in over the lake.......walking in the rain.....

The feel of my cat on my chest just purring away......or all three of them laying against my body.

Seeing a completely pristine field of freshly fallen snow...then running thru it!




HarleyKitty69 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 11:17:10 AM)

a 100 mile putt putt on my bike
a good chat with a friend
a good cup of tea
a good cup of coffee with some Torte
an hour in the Hot Tub
some great sex
a manicure and a pedicure
going shopping for new cloth and toys
well I think I listed enough for one day




WilliamWizer -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 11:21:33 AM)

mmm... you may find it a little silly but awakening ten minutes early than needed and staying in bed that ten minutes simply relaxing without doing anything. I treasure that ten minutes every day and they feel wonderful. knowing that I can stay in bed another ten minutes is such pleasure I can't describe it. [:D]




HarleyKitty69 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 11:26:06 AM)

uuhhhhmmm sleeping in a bed
I'm sleeping on the sectional




softness -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 11:28:11 AM)

RythymMan -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 11:47:34 AM)

excellent thread.

good bread, toasted and buttered.  BUTTer, not oleo dammit.

a smile from any number good friends.
a smile from a friend I've never met.

walking where I can't see power lines or cars.

song.

walking barefoot on grass.  bonus points at 4:21, am or pm.

The smell of leather.

eating warm watermelon fresh from the vine naked in the shade when its 105 degrees with a thunderstorm brewing.

hotsprings. 

seeing the first snow of the year, altho the last snow of the year is pretty nice too!

Seeing the first snow of the year while in a hotspring does not qualify as simple...

Porn.

Sunrises (simple for me, large window just east of my bed)

cat naps, and seeing my cat while he is napping.

good beer, and related, peeing outside with a tailwind.

ok, maybe good beer isn't so simple, but I think you get the point.

Being home alone with no tv or stereo on, the windows open, early morning weekend, and this time of year.

Taking my dogs for a walk thru the fields at night when it's snowing those great big fat flakes really hard....it's so quiet and peaceful.

Hanging out with my horses in the barn at night in the winter.

Watching the baby calves play.

Working hard outdoors, grilling dinner, a leisurely bath or shower, fresh clean sheets, bedroom window open with a cool breeze blowing in and the crickets and frogs singing. (last night)

Playing with the grands.

Being in the woods really quiet and still in the fall.

Downloading my camera and finding out that some of the photos were way better than I expected.

Friday nights.

Snuggling with my big furry babies for a nap on the weekend when its nasty outside.

Having someone tell me they love me and knowing they really mean it even half as much as I do when I tell them.

Campfires.

Bluegrass music played by the campfire by old men, drunk on shine, late at night.

Being able to turn off my phone.

The pedmall in Iowa City on a summer evening.





StellaByStarlite -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 3:14:26 PM)

My comfy pink fleece robe
tossing the baseball around in the yard with my son
being a soccer mom
those yummy red, white, and blue astropops
sitting on the front porch watching the teenagers and kids doing whatever
naps!




jayded34 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 3:27:59 PM)

first cup of coffee on a cool summer morning on my deck
hugs that mean something
whispers in the dark
finding 20.00 in the pocket of your winter coat *just when you need 20.00*
riding in the truck with the sunroof open getting a tan while you take a day trip
that look from across the room from someone you just knows loves you but cant bring himself to say it cuz he's afraid of how he feels..
having a heart to heart with your teenage daughter and realize she is not only more mature than you thought...realizing that she is already a terrific woman.




SweetSarijane -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 4:51:07 PM)

Sitting outside in the sunshine with a light cool breeze enjoying the beauty of nature and the peace.
Getting lost in a great book or 2 or 3.
Listening to my favorite songs uninterrupted, getting lost in the music.
A great talk with a friend.
A day just for me and doing whatever I want whenever I want.
Watching the UMs playing and laughing.
Tickle torture of them
Hearing them laugh.




HarleyKitty69 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 4:57:57 PM)

One day at my sisters house without screamin




SweetSarijane -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 5:00:19 PM)

*sighs* yep...those days are good when they happen.




HarleyKitty69 -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 5:01:48 PM)

 OOHHHHH #2 you just don't know .....




His1kitten -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 5:30:47 PM)

i love threads like this, so that would be one of my simple pleasures.

Sitting outside on a starry night with the One I love.

Sunday mornings...

Watching kids play at the park.

Flying a kite.

Looking through old photographs.




iwannapullurhair -> RE: simple pleasures (4/23/2007 5:51:06 PM)

Visiting a lake, watching the birds swim, feeling the cool breeze come off the water. Then going to a nice restaurant afterward, right off the water. Having a nice juicy steak. A nice spring drive through the trees.

Talking to someone interesting you just met while you are exploring some place new.
