Sometimes we can become mired in the problems of the day. When this happens, we may forget all the simple pleasures that bring us joy. I suggest that everyone keep a handy list of simple pleasures when the big matters of life get you down. What's on your list?
Simple Pleasures
- walk in nature
- bike ride
- time with a close friend
- making a good meal for those I love
- listening to music
- watching a great movie
- making a gift for someone
- helping a person who needs it
- reading a few good poems
- people watching at a joyful place
- visiting a museum
- singing
- playing a beloved game online or in real time
- planning a party
- visiting a friend or relative I have not seen for a while
I'll continue to add to this list, but accessing and engaging in our simple pleasures truly brings life a good dose of happiness. Onward.
