SIMPLE PLEASURES

 

There are so many simple pleasure of life.

We have but to open our minds to them.

Children laughing.

Birds singing.

A rose bud as it opens its face to the world.

Running barefoot in the dewy grass.

Walking in the rain.

Relaxing,

Listening to the symphony of thunder

Chocolate.

Coffee.

The joyous repose of a cricket.

Watching squirrels play.

Breathing fresh air.

Mountains.

Trees.

Little kittens pouncing in the fields.

Wonderful friends with words of wisdom.

Simplistic, Yes.

Natural, Yes.

All pleasures.

Yes.
