I cut out a little list of "simple pleasures" from a magazine, probably 15 years ago, that has been on every fridge I've had since then - I just eyed it again today and thought everyone, including me, could use a simple reminder every now and then :)
* feeling the sun on the back of your neck
* dawn
* the smell of bacon or coffee first thing in the morning
* singing in church
* hearing your cat purr (or in my case, petting my one-eyed dog :)
* finding money in the couch (or the pocket of your ski jacket at the beginning of the season!)
* knowing you did the right thing
* making a new friend
* getting into a freshly made bed
* having all the ingredients on hand when you decide to cook something special
* getting snapshots back from the processor (see? I told you this list was old :)
* getting a tax refund
* a great haircut
* moonlight on the ocean
* massages, hugs, ladybugs, new shoes, naps, cashmere, making up after a fight
* knowing you have a full tank of gas
* the smell of fresh cut grass
* going home after a bad day
* when the days start to be a little longer
* having exact change
* two scoops
* having the house all to yourself
* shiny windows and mirrors
* browsing in bookstores
* making someone smile
* coming home from a vacation
* watching your kids when they are sleeping
* the sound of rain on the roof, especially when you're under the covers
* licking the frosting bowl
* wearing something new
* being excited about tomorrow
