Life's Simple Pleasures.
People say the best things in life are free. Life is filled with simple pleasures, the little satisfying effects you never really anticipate, but always take great pleasure in...
1. Sleeping in on a rainy day. As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be.
2. Reading a novel with a mocha in hand at a coffee place. Always been having this scene in my mind, but nowadays it seems almost to be a luxury moment for me.
3. Having a good laugh. Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can hardly breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind back on a positive track.
4. Hearing the right song at the right moment. It doesnt matter what the setting is, hearing the right song for that moment is one of those simple pleasures in life that instantly lifts your spirits. You could be driving home from work, hanging out at a bar with friends, or jogging.
5. The first sip of a beverage when you're thirsty. You probably just finished jogging or a hot yoga session. The only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. When you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss. (Come to think of it, I do miss my hot yoga sessions...)
6. Realizing you have more time to sleep. Something probably abruptly wakes you up and you thought its time to get up. Then you reach for your alarm clock and realize you still have 2 more hours of sleep. A warm euphoric feeling shoots through your body as you glide gracefully back to your dreams.
7. Familiar smell and feeling. You havent been home in a long while. You smell the familiarity in the air. As you head through the front door, more familiar smells consume your senses. Gosh, it feels good to be home... (Especially when I was on a regional role then...)
8. Receiving an unexpected compliment. Its been an average day. Nothing really great has happened. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, someone calls you "beautiful" and that you look lovely today. The day just got a whole lot better.
9. Holding hands with someone you love. Every time he grabs your hand, you are overcome with an awareness of how much he means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.
10. Playing in the water. Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult...
11. Skinny dipping. I've heard about people telling me how mysteriously liberating about being naked in a body of water. Like, you are naked, but yet it feels so natural. Its a sense of undefined freedom. Should try it one day, if ever.
12. Eating your favorite food. In my case, my happy food. If its in the company of the loved ones, its even more pleasurable.
