The Joy of Simple Pleasures!

*I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to post something I've been trying to post for three days now. I'm doing so today, I hope you all have a great day, and weekend!

I have a daily goal of enjoying at least 1--3 things each day. Random, unexpected things. Granted, in my world, I usually enjoy my food the most, but I'm making it a point of enjoying other aspects of my day too.

Today, my pleasures were:

Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds--so tasty, crunchy, sweet, creamy, delicious and nutritious! They were so good, a perfect "pick me up" treat to curb my salty/sweet chocolate craving! Mmm....yummy!

Driving with my car windows down right after it rained this morning. When I went outside, the air was cool, crisp and oh so refreshing! I woke up to rain--the sound and smell of it and CLOUDS. In Vegas, it's rare to wake up to clouds, we have over 300 days of sunshine per year, so when we DO get cloudy days- we love 'em. We also get very little rain, so when it's cloudy AND it rains--SCORE! Today, I woke up to both--I took a shower and left my bedroom screen door open and it was fabulous! :) When I drove to my appointment, I drove with the down--it was still sprinkling just a bit and the air was cool, damp and lovely! It was definitely the highlight of my day!

Last night, I caught all kinds of old videos on GAC! Videos I had not seen in YEARS! Literally. "From Here to Eternity" by Michael Peterson. "Single White Female" by Chely Wright. "Brother Jukebox" and "Gonna Get A Life" by Mark Chesnut. "Thank God for You," by Sawyer Brown. "That's How Your Love Makes Me Feel Inside" by Diamond Rio. "Cathy's Clown," by Reba McEntire. And "If I Didn't Have You," by Randy Travis. Videos I grew up watching and loving and had not seen in at least a decade! It was SO cool! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank You, Lord, for simple pleasures, the love of family & friends and joy in the midst of business!
