“Our pleasures were simple – they included survival.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simple pleasures…
>…butterflies
>…children playing
>…watching the sun rise
>…when you finish unpacking
>…new underwear
>…looking through old photographs
>…realising someone really likes you
>…when a cat comes and sits on your knee
>…finding out the collective noun for hedgehogs is a prickle
>…and the one for flamingos is a flamboyance
>…a memory that makes you laugh every time you think about it
>…the song ‘Happy’ by Pharrell
>…watching Sesame Street
>…coffee with a catch up with someone you don’t see often enough
>…a nice, ripe, juicy piece of fruit
>…having a nice time at the party you didn’t want to go to
>…getting to the next level and being ahead of your friendship group in whichever game you’re all playing
>…finding a really comfy pair of flip flops in the supermarket for a fiver
>…realising the task you’ve been putting off is neither as difficult nor time consuming as you expected
>…companionable silence
