Simple Joys? Whats yours?

I posted this as a blog but then decided to add it as a discussion. I know sometimes I forget that it is the simple things that mean the most in the long run.

So please take a second and share with us YOUR simple pleasure. Here is mine:

Stop for just a second and think about what one simple thing could bring joy to your heart and make your soul sing. Peace on earth,end of world hunger... these for most of us are or would be shared joys. I'm talking about small simple things that are personal to you.
I just had one of those things happen to me. **huge smile here**

I was sitting here writing some e-mail and my cell phone rings...I look at the caller ID and thought what the heck kinda number is that.... Tentatively I answered... "hello?" and there it was, the voice I love and adore " Hey woman whatcha doing? OMG ERIC! all reasonable and logical thought flew straight out the window and all I could do was feel.

I was overwhelmed with such a feeling of tremendous joy that I was practically giddy. Ok freely admitting it, I was and still am giddy. NOTHING could compare to this. I feel exhilarated and recharged. I want to shout it from the mountain tops, run naked in the streets (no worries, THAT feeling is being controlled lol) dance in the rain and sing at the top of my lungs.....

*happy sigh** Life really is good isn't it

For me, it's laying down with my daughter at night as she goes to sleep. She's 13 now and doesn't let me do that often anymore, but when she does, I love it. That and fishing... LOL; ▶ Reply to This
