Sometimes It's The Simple Pleasures
Sometimes It's The Simple Pleasures
Overall since xnh D&D'd me about a year, I've been much happier without him. Even with two broken ankles, a dog with cancer (three times), and a brand-new car wrecked within the first month of buying by another woman texting while driving, my life is SO much happier without xnh and his constant stress.
Sometimes it's the simple pleasures that truly bring me a little surge of joy. These remind me of how much my world has improved. I thought I'd share some of the "little things" that give me joy now. Feel free to share yours as well. :)
1. Waking up in the morning to hear the birds singing first thing outside my window, and knowing that no one is going to try making me feel small and worthless when I get out of bed. :)
2. The smell of coffee in my kitchen, and knowing that I can sit around drinking it and reading a good book for as LONG as I wish on my days off from work.
3. Going into a bookstore and spending as long as want without a time limit on how long xnh is willing to "allow" me to enjoy myself.
4. The smell of a new book when I first open it. Yes, I know this is a little bizarre, but I love to "snort" a new book when I buy it, and so do several of my friends. I just love the smell of a new printed page. For me, it's a "happy" smell.
5. Soaking in a hot bath, and knowing that no one will be pounding on the bathroom door.
6. Walking my dogs and just thinking quietly (well until they happen to see a bunny that is - then let the drama begin). lol.
7. Putting a jigsaw puzzle together on the coffee table and being able to just leave it there when I go to bed.
So what are some your favorite "simple pleasures"?
