Earlier in the week I did this post where I shared things about my in threes. One of the prompts was three of my favourite simple pleasures in life. I feel like it is always a good time to count your blessings or find joy in life’s simple moments.
The big moments are important. They drive us forward. They motivate us. They are like goal posts in life. If life is like game it can’t be only about the goals scored or winning/losing but about how you played the game that counts. It is the little things that really make a life worth living.
Sometimes I think we need a reminder of that. I know I do. This is one of those times and these are some of my simple pleasures.
|| Dipping your toes in the water on a hot day
|| 2 hour candlelight baths with a good book
|| The first time you feel grass on sand between your toes every summer
|| The first cup of coffee in the morning
|| Floating on water
|| Friends and firepits
|| Getting a new pair of shoes
|| The smell of fresh baked bread or cookies
|| Sliding into new bedding
|| Cuddling up on a rainy day for a Netflix marathon
|| The sun beating down on my skin
|| Surprise dates
|| Getting lost in a fictional reality (Outlander is the first that comes to mind or GoT)
|| Belting out your favourite playlist in the car
|| Watching the sun set at sea
|| Anything Disney
|| Freshly washed hair
|| Runner’s high
|| Laughing until your stomach hurts
|| Hugs that make you feel safe
|| Christmas pj’s
|| The first snowfall
|| Fuzzy Peach candies
|| Furbabies
|| Discovering a new favourite wine
|| Red Lindor chocolate
|| Walks by the beach
|| Fresh brushed teeth
|| Friendships that last forever no matter the time or distance
|| Gilmore Girls
|| Popping bubble wrap
These are just some of things that help make my days a little brighter. What simple pleasures do you look forward to?
I love posts about simple pleasures. Dipping your toes in water is the best! Also, I don’t think I’ve ever tried a fuzzy peach candle, but now I want one!
Thanks, me too! I’m not really a candy person but I think Fuzzy Peach candies are the perfect combo of sweet and sour. I would definitely recommend them.
Omg popping bubble wrap! Why is that so satisfying! Lol!
Only God knows but it sure is! lol
What a great post! Life is all about celebrating little pleasures. Your list is perfect, I only have a couple things to add: Dog kisses and the first snow of the winter 🐾❄
Doggie kisses are great! I don’t have a dog yet but I wish we did. Definitely, the first snowfall is on my list. 🙂
Yes, I saw that when I reread your post lol 😂
