Simple Pleasures

I love the simple things or pleasures in life. These are things we can take for granted if we are not intentional on being thankful for them. I have often heard from others that it's the simple things in life that make life. 

I have mentioned several on both my blogs.

Simple Pleasures could be:


Watching a sunrise
Looking at spring flowers

Making Smores
Grilling out with the family
Driving thru the mountains and finding a hidden waterfall
Fresh produce in the summer
Sitting down and reading a favorite book
Seeing a beautiful snowfall
Sipping sweet iced tea
Spring cleaning(I love to clean) :-)

Roses on Valentines Day (or any occassion)
Driving with the windows down
Feeding the birds
Time in God's Word and Bible study
Playing  miniature golf with the family
Enjoying the beauty of a tree

All of these are examples of simple pleasures in life.  One of my favorites and one I am doing now, watching the sunrise.  Mornings are my favorite time of the day.

Saturdays are a simple pleasure. Everything kind of slows down and you can relax and enjoy being home or gardening, cooking, etc..whatever you enjoy to do.

I am going to lunch with some girlfriends today. We also go to the same church and are in the same S.S. class. Girls you can laugh with and be real with and at times you just need to slip away and have a girl's day out. ;)

Whatever your plans today, take the time to enjoy!

Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. I did have a good day today. Did some cleaning, read a book, watched tv with my daughter. Not much going on but I really enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the reminder.
