Simple Pleasures.

[entitled]

Forgetting, for a few minutes, that there's anybody in this world but me.

Being able to laugh with my friends - when there's no worry there will be a rough word for being too loud about it.

Feeling the warm sun shine on my face after a long winter.

Putting on shorts for the first time in spring.

Finding some small treasure that nobody else would think is worth much. The latest find was a blue jay's feather, which now holds a place of honor on top of my monitor.

Waking up before anybody else at an event, going into a random encampment, and fixing a hot breakfast for the first dozen or so people who wake up and ask what i'm doing there.

Having a day that my throat doesn't hurt, allowing me to sing at the top of my lungswith the radio in the car. (Nobody wants to hear me sing anymore - vocal quality has gone downhill the past few months.)

Popcycles and lolly pops.

I absolutly love them and they just make me feel good for some reason.

Driving over the Dumbarton Bridge today, with the sunroof open and the late afternoon sun making the water of the Bay all shiny...

That must be the least-traveled stretch of road in the entire Bay Area, and it makes its way past wildlife marshes and salt accumulations and barren hills to get to the boxy tech parks. It's peculiar, but it's always exhilarating and makes me feel like I'm on some other planet rather than on my way to the office.

I've enjoyed rveryone's simple pleasures, it's good to have them isn't it? It's the simple pleasures that keep me sane on a day to day basis.

More EL Simple pleasures.

Waking, warm beneath the duvet, eyes still shut,enjoying the warmth, peace and shelter. Making the decision to get up, and stretching my whole body and opening my eyes, ready to start the day.

First noting a story has been accepted, eagerly going to see the score, searching and hoping for feedback.

Starting a thread, then seeing replies, lots and lots of replies, seeing something created blossoming.

Walking out into a crisp, cold morning, feeling the harsh cold on my cheeks, the rest of my body, warmly encased in my winter coat, scarf and gloves.

The most simple pleasure I relish of late is time on my own! I get so little of it nowadays and I really need it. My better half is only now starting to appreciate the theraputic nature of solace!

Trouble is that even now at twenty past midnight my shadow is sleeping at my feet, (see AV) I cant move without him! If I go to the loo he'll be there outside the door when I come out.

I love him really

Women in short skirts - a trucker tradition
Rain when I'm going to bed
The calm before the storm, and the storm
Heat lightning
Finishing a story
When my daughters say 'I love you' without prompting or asking for something afterward
Making my aunt moan with backrubs (damn, she's hot)
Super hot showers
A cool pillow
When a witty retort comes in time in an argument to actually be used in the argument, not two hours later
When a song I remember from high school comes on the radio and I still remember all the words
When I hear German spoken and understand most of what was just said

Hk good to see you. I appreiciate a bit of time ot myself every now and then, it does the soul good.

Jammies -I adore the scent of lavander.

Yesterday My daughter and I went to a large local park to feed the ducks. We fed them together then sat down to eat our lunches. Beth wanted to give her crusts to the ducks, so she ran the shortway to the fence-surrounded pond and spent some time feeding the ducks, then chaising the pigeons that gathered.

I sat back, eating a crisp, sweet apple watching her enjoying just being a kid, running around, giggling. In front of me was a large garden of well pruned rose bushes in shades of glowing apricot orange, light lavender purple, bright white, soft red and girly pink. Over my head the clouds where floating along, in shades of grey and white on an autumn, chill blue sky.

It was beautiful and simply pleasureable.
