Mo**** Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I'm sure that everyone here definitely likes pleasure in different forms, but what simple pleasures in day to day life do you enjoy? Some family stress means im not sleeping so lay awake last night thinking that I would have some tea and toast, which is my ultimate simple pleasure. Also hot baths and good books are up there too. Unexpected simple pleasures can be just as good, when i went down to feed the cat at 5 am there was a fox in the garden, i love foxes so was a good start to the morning! What simple pleasures do you enjoy?

PixieDust Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Staying in bed during a storm, with all the windows open and just enjoying the sounds 🌧🌧🌧 Seeing a rainbow after a storm 🌈 Another would be lying down, watching the night sky in wonder, away from the city lights out in the country in a field. I don't get to do it often enough but when I do its like wow 🌟🌟🌟 Now this is a weird one, but the smell of Moth Balls, it reminds me of my Nan and always brings a smile 😊 Seeing the first blossom at springtime, knowing summer is just around the corner 🌼🌼🌼 ***ting my nails 💅 Writing poetry✍ Listening to music 🎵 Ooh licking the cake mix/batter off a wooden spoon 🥄 😁 and definitely 100% Chocolate mmmm 🍫🍫🍫 😁💗💗💗

There was also the most vibrant rainbow i have ever seen after one of them. Chocolate goes without saying 😆
Carnelian2 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Cooking a simple meal, that takes time like Vietnamese Baguette (Banh Mi) the other day: - Slow cooking Pork shoulder for 5.5 hours - Shredding or Pulling it to let it rest till the next day - Pickling Onion, Carrots and Cucumber - Shop-bought baguette, 5 minutes in the oven Assembled Result: Banh Mi that took 5-10 minutes to eat. Simple but delicious but also knowing the effort that was put in. Apart from that, just observing the small wonders that surround us every day, from the person who is unexpectedly kind to someone just being happy about that project/task that just falls in place without much effort
