Simple pleasures

 Having coffee and watching a Hallmark movie with my dear friends yesterday, something hit me.

It is the simple pleasures that give life meaning.

Having coffee multiple times a week with good friends.

Laughing at silly stories and jokes.

Getting the mail and finding Christmas cards with beautiful pictures of beautiful families that we know and cherish.

Wine Wednesday with my sisters.

Watching the dogs rip around their yard chasing each other or trying unsuccessfully to catch a bird.

Hearing from my children just because.

Talking to my mom and occasionally my dad on the phone.

Watching one of our delightful pigs (Peter) running full speed across the yard to say hello and get a rub behind the ears.

Changing the bed sheets and having clean crisp sheets to crawl into at bedtime.

Being surrounded by dogs at bedtime.  All jostling to get closer to Grif and myself.

Looking at pictures of my darling granddaughter.  Holding her when I can.

Listening to music alone in the car.

Listening to Grif breath at night.  Yes, I’m a creeper, I lay awake at night listening to him breath.

Watching snow gently fall on the barren sleeping landscape.

Find the simple pleasures in your life.  Life is fleeting and in the end it won’t matter how much you make or your status in society.  It will matter though to love and be loved.
