I do looking this post a lot. It is hard to think of positive things to say on most days. Though, today I am feeling content and willing to share what some of my simple pleasures are.
1) Eating a delicious piece of cheesecake.
2) Smiling when its genuine and feeling good.
3) Laying in the arms of my love, feeling comforted and warm by his presence and me being close to him.
4) Reading a very enjoyable book.
5) Watching my favorite TV programs with my grandmother.
6) Hanging out with friends, having nothing to do....but still having a blast anyway
7) Staying up late on the weekends
8) Sleeping in on the weekends
9) singing till my hearts content
10) dancing crazy to loud music (i cannot dance well, by the way)
11) Reading or watching horror stories/movies
12) Going for a long walk in the woods by myself, hearing the peaceful quite, not anyone milling about except myself and some small squirrels and birds.
13) Buying ice cream from the man on the truck who comes during my summers and hands me a delicious vanilla ice cream on a tasty sugar cone.
14) Racing some of my friends and playing frisbee, basketball and roller blading in the middle of the street (on a road that isn't too busy or only has one way traffic, like at my old house in Staten Island)
15) Being around other people who are happy and smiling while I am also feeling happy and smiling...it makes me feel warm and connected to all peaceful beings.
16) Getting compliments, no matter how small they are.
17) Eating cheeseburgers from all of my favorite places.
18) Sitting under the sun on a hot day by the pool.
19) Dressing up on special occasions and holidays.
20) Allowing myself to simply "be" and not have to think about who I should be, What I should say, and how I should behave (this can be very freeing. Too often I tell myself how to move, think and act (not always working in my favor) while trying to keep my composure and acting completely normal.
