the simple pleasures in life

In no particular order:

Sleeping.

Sleeping in a comfy bed, snug and warm under the thick covers, while it's raining lightly outside. And the chill breeze blows through the open windows, making the curtains billow and dance, while the raindrops beat a hypnotic pattern on the rooftops.

Eating good food, in the company of good friends.

Eating a freshly baked cinnamon-sugar pretzel, when the suger and cinnamon lightly coats your lips.

The clean feeling you get after taking a warm shower, when you emerge from the humid bathroom to the cool air outside and the soothing scent of the shampoo and soap still surrounds you. Even better if you took a hot bath instead. You can feel the heat radiating of you for some time after you finish.

Reading a good book.

Reading a good book again after a few months. Or years.

Watching a good movie.

Watching Finding Nemo. Again.

Watching Fruits Basket ep. 12 alone. Heh.

Driving in the car in the late evening or night, with Tony Bennet playing on the CD-player.

Capturing that perfect moment, either on camera or through a drawing or even mere words fit enough to describe it.

Watching people laugh. Better still if you had some part in causing it.

Seeing someone smile again after they get upset, or pissed off.

Playing a long, interesting game of Magic.

The feeling when a song really comes together when you're playing it with others.

Finishing that damn further maths question on your first try and getting it perfectly correct. AAAARGH!!


Heh. Sometimes it's just good to sit down and make a list of things to enjoy in life. It's good to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, ne? 'Cause for some, these things may only be a hope or a dream.

Ahhh... Time to stop typing nonsense (yay! finally updated again!).

Um.. Happy Quarter of the Year, Happy New Month, and Happy April's Fool Day every body. (esp. Mal..hehe)
