a simple meme... 10 simple pleasures...

I saw this on "Collecting My Thoughts" by Norma and thought I'd give it a shot. Here are 10 very very simple things that make my life slightly easier or bring me a little bit of pleasure -

1. splurging on Seattles Best ground coffee so I can have a good cuppa every day (and occasionally buying a sample size bag of flavored coffee for a Sunday morning special!).

2. Republic of Tea in Ginger Peach.

3. Alka Seltzer Gold (I have issues with portions control...ASG helps me out every so often)

4. Having really cute plastic tumblers with little blue and gold fishies on them for summer time

5. Seeing my kids get wiggly-excited and wave happily when I pull up into the car pool pickup line.

6. Sitting at the dinner table with my family and doing the "what was the best part of your day" routine.

7. The way my house looks and smells after dusting and vacuuming.

8. Driving with my window open.

9. Curling under a fleece blanket on top of my down comforter and taking a little nap with the bedroom window open a crack for fresh air.

10. Petting my cat.

and one more for fun, just cuz it makes me smile to do this...

11. Taking a shower with the lights off and just a dim glow from the bedroom light... very soothing!

Hold me back, I just can't stop!

12. The smell of fresh cut grass.

13. The smell of the summer air at 5 am when you go out to water your flowers or garden bed: wet warm soil, cool crisp air, the scent of the heat to come...

14. Kissing Bears round soft freckled cheek - it's luscious.

15. Holding hands with my husband.

16. Reaching out my foot in the middle of the night to feel my husbands feet - a little "sole" connection just for the sake of being able to.

17. A hot shower

18. Cool fresh clean sheets on the bed

19. Laughing with my daughter.

20. Resting after working hard, feeling good about both things.
