Every once in awhile you just need to take stock of what’s going on and …
Life can be so complicated and stressful. We all have our issues and challenges. Sometimes I think one needs to step back and simplify their life. Do those things that give you pleasure and joy, make you feel good, make you sigh in contentment and puts a smile on your face. Something just for you.
I know it’s not always easy to find time for those things while working full time, nurturing and maintaining a relationship, raising a family, keeping healthy friendships active and any number of things that keep our lives so busy. I do try every day to indulge myself in one simple pleasure, even for 5 minutes.
Some of the things I consider simple pleasures may or may not resonate with you. That’s okay because they’re mine.
And mine are any number of things like …
Listening to music
Doing a crossword puzzle
A cup of tea
Sitting in my favourite chair, feet up
Walking around my garden and literally smelling the roses
Eating a favourite meal
A good glass of wine
An afternoon nap
Listening to the rain fall
Reading in bed
Care to share your simple pleasures.
Until the next time.
