    Default Simple pleasures that bring you great joy...

    What are the simple things in life that bring you the most pleasure?

    Here are a few of mine:
    ~The closeness that my family shares.
    ~A child's laughter.
    ~The reflection of the sky and trees on the lake.
    ~Babies! And they don't have to be mine either!

    ~Fresh fruit.
    ~Flannel sheets and feather beds and comforters.
    ~My cats.
    ~Friends!

    There are so many good reasons here!  They even make me smile!

    Here are my top reasons that make me smile...

    • My hubbys laughter
    • A bright shining moon on a clear night
    • The first snow fall
    • Seeing a seedling break through the earth
    • A baby's laughter
    • Coming across a picture of my niece, Samantha:
    • Unexpected greeting cards in the mail
    • Watching the deer at my feeder at night
    • Watching a mated pair of eagles, flying high above me
