Simple Pleasures in Life

you have probably noticed how time escapes you? how you glance at the calendar and wonder where the hell that entire month went? or perhaps you don't... maybe you are so entrenched on the rat race wheel of life... that you don't even come up for air....

everyone needs to take some time for some simple pleasures in life... feel the sun on your skin... actually notice it and acknowledge it and appreciate it... smell the spring air... crank up the tunes with the window open in your car... indulge in a delicious mouth watering dessert... laugh yourself silly with a friend.... etc.... these moments... these special delectable sensory experiences add layers and facets of delight to a routine mundane life of work, house cleaning, and drudgery... make sure you live your life!

in the past couple of weeks...

• I sat on the rocks at Peggy's Cove and watched the waves as well as listened to them
• I ate a candy apple
• I threw rocks into a pond with my littlest and we listened to the different "spa-gooshes" that occured with different sized rocks
• I squirted a friend through a window with a spray bottle
• I squirted my daughter and we then had a water fight
• I let an easter egg (Cadbury of course!) melt in my mouth with my eyes shut
• I smelled a new book before opening its pages
• I blew some bubbles
• I smelled a blanket that was freshly washed
• I snuggled a baby
• I had brunch at Smitty's with family and it was scrumptious!
• a friend took me to lunch at Cora's and it was delicious and his hug at the end was just as much a treat!

well that is all that comes to mind... I am probably forgetting some... that I take for granted...

you know what I would love... for comments back on special moments you take... moments of time to smell the flowers... (keep it clean PLEASE!)
