Greetings, friends of the Silver Blogger community, like every Monday, I'm participating in @ericvancewalton's initiative, this time number 48, where he asks What simple pleasures bring you joy?
I didn't want to read any previous participation to mine, so as not to "contaminate" myself, in the best sense of the word, and so that my answers come out as spontaneous as possible. I'm curious to know what the others are going to answer. Doing the exercise I've realized the number of pleasures there are every day and that only by enumerating them, I see that there are so many, as to always be happy, because many of them are daily.
Here's my list:
Sitting alone in a cafe doing nothing.
Meeting a newborn baby.
Petting my cat's head.
Drinking water when I'm thirsty.
Drinking my first coffee while looking at my garden.
Seeing the new shoots on my plants.
Discovering that a favorite plant hasn't dried up.
Receiving the drawings my grandchildren make for me.
Hugging and being hugged.
Eating the wafer-shaped cookie from an ice cream cone.
Feeling the breeze on my face.
Running into a former student on the street.
Receiving a message or call from someone I haven't heard from in a while.
Going to bed feeling very sleepy.
Talking to my children or grandchildren.
Putting my feet in the sand.
Savoring something that reminds me of my childhood.
Watching an old children's comedy show.
Sneezing.
Smelling the hair of a new doll.
Smelling the pages of a new book.
Giving a kiss.
The smell of vanilla.
Watching a kite fly.
Going to a nursery.
Listening to a song that touches me.
Someone remember me and send me a photo of me that they keep with love.
Giving a plant as a gift.
Eating something grown and harvested by me.
Sitting in the yard laughing with my children.
Teaching my grandchildren to paint.
Walking hand in hand with my partner.
That moment when I get into bed with the sheets just changed.
Splashes of raindrops on my face.
When I achieve the desired flavor in the barbecue I make every year.
The smell of wet earth.
When the electricity comes back on.
When the water falls on my back during a shower.
Getting rid of my bra.
Drinking coffee with milk with someone I love.
Snuggling up to sleep when it rains and I'm cold.
Eating a Toronto (Venezuelan chocolate).
Giving a gift made with my own hands.
Listening to one of my grandchildren on a voice message.
The first sip of a cold soda, just opened, when the bubbles hit my nose.
Watching the bus arrive with someone I'm waiting for.
Caressing my partner's feet in bed while we watch a movie.
Buying candy.
Wearing new glasses.
Savoring a very cold beer.
When I'm driving down a highway and I see the sea.
Reading good news on the networks.
Wearing new shoes and having them fit me well.
Sticking my nose in the abundant hair of one of my granddaughters.
Walking barefoot on a cold floor.
Watering my plants with the hose.
Inviting a grandchild to eat ice cream.
Drawing a rose
And there are many more, life is full of lovely moments that bring joy.
