Living life simply may have some drawbacks, but the benefits far out way those things! Something as small as a steaming cup of fresh coffee, of a quiet morning, can bring me so much pleasure! There was a time when I worked full time in the city, stopping each morning to plunk a good amount of greenbacks down, for some premium brewed beans. Looking back, it seemed such a waste of good money for a cup of coffee, brewed by super baristas, when I now get so much pleasure out of Folgers, with a bit of vanilla cream.
Next up would be my slippers! As I walk so much, leaving my poor toe beans to suffer, I make it up to them by wearing the softest and fluffiest pair of slippers I can find. While you might think I’d spare no expense for my indoor shoes, think again. The beauty is in the fact that I get such pleasure from the act of slipping into something squishy and soft; it’s not from the look or cost of the slipper. I realize that cheap is not always better, but in this case, I get by.
While these pleasures I share with you are in no particular order, I’m simply writing them down as I think of them. Speaking of writing, I have to mention the joy I get out of literary expression. It makes me happy whether I’m typing on a computer, writing in a journal or even jotting things down on a napkin. Just let me write!
I suppose my next choice comes by default, from mentioning the writing. Where would we be without the beauty and magic of reading? Whether rich or poor, everyone can enjoy the pleasure of reading, in some form or another. I’m in my fifty’s and to this day, a book still holds the magic of transporting me to anywhere I want to go, for everything from adventure to knowledge; sometimes, I get lucky and find both in the same book!
Last but certainly not least would be to receive love! I can easily say that it is an everyday thing, as it is at my finger tips always, whether from God, my husband or those nearby… point being, love is there if we just look up!
Someone got me thinking about Danish this morning, so here is my favorite to share with you…
Mmmmmmmm…. Raspberry Cream Cheese…
Journey With Me! 
I enjoy your literary expression, too!
I’ll pass on the danish though… raspberries… good flavor, weird seeds!

Folgers! Awesome. I’m an 8 o’clock kinda guy 😎
There’s so much to be said for coffee… a song by the Monkees (“Early morning blues and greens”) says it thus
My steaming coffee warms my face
I’m disappointed in the taste
But there’s a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things
Dunno why I just thought about that. Maybe it was Laura’s post about finding anything on the internet these days 😎
