I am always setting goals and moving the bar to reach higher and higher. I realized I am always chasing the future and forget to enjoy the here and now. I wondered what are the simple pleasures I get each day that I do not even notice?
Well I kept a list and here they are:
- Chewing on my pen ( I know Mom, I am still doing it!)
- Blowing bubble indoors
- Watching reruns of Will and Grace
- When Womanizer comes up on my random shuffle on my iPhone
- Flipping my daily calendar and seeing what is written next
- Sending April pictures of monkeys
- When Justin texts me randomly to say he loves me so much
- Sleeping in
- When I get a new friend request on Facebook
- Dancing in the car as I drive
- Looking at people’s posted pictures on Facebook
- Trying to get a celebrity to reply back on Twitter
- When I pull any SHENANIGANS!
- Telling funny stories to make people laugh
- Fishing in Animal Crossing for wii
- Doing the Palm Tree pose in yoga.
- When someone smiles back at me
- When my cat Piper insists on sitting as close as possible to me
- Give aways of free Sharpie minis!
- When someone holds the door for me
That was just in a few hours. Could you imagine what I would find in a few days?
What is a one of your simple pleasures?

Even though everyone in NYC complains about it–I really like the rain (wait, someone is throwing a stone at me) Okay–I’m back. I know we NY’ers are supposed to strut our stuff
on the hot pavement but this Mexican loves the simple pleasure of walking in the rain with a gentle breeze whispering in his ear–it’s usually saying, “Stop at McDonald’s,”–no wait, those are the VOICES in my head…sorry.
I love the rain…pure, simple, pleasurable.
Keep up the great blog!
