Simple Pleasures

Yesterday, Kelly posted about Simple Pleasures...I loved all of hers and decided to join in and write down my simple pleasure. This is what she wrote

"her and her friends in high school used to play a game called "Simple Pleasures" where they would list things that were just "simple pleasures" like warm socks out of the dryer or hot chocolate on a cold day."

Here are mine:
  • the smell of a summer morning
  • finding greeting cards that make you laugh out loud or say exactly the thing you wanted to share with someone
  • BLT's with really crispy bacon on toasted bread
  • a warm towel right when you get out of the shower
  • crisp magazine
  • kaki shorts with a long sleeved t-shirt
  • an abundance of christmas cards in your mailbox
  • apple butter
  • the cool side of a pillow
  • the perfect candid picture
  • a cute spiral / notebook
  • a cold coca-cola when you are really craving it
  • cowboy boots
  • blueberries with cinnamon and sugar
  • cuddling with a sleeping baby
  • picking up family from the airport
  • friends that ask if there is anything they can pray for you
  • flats.
  • the first time you wear flip fops in spring!
  • Barkers hot dogs
  • opening the gift you never asked for but always wanted
  • thunderstorms at night in the summer
  • talking about memories with college friends
  • putting your to do list aside to finish a book!
  • the warmth of the sun on a cool day
  • beaches at sunset
  • beaches...at any time of day!
I think I could go on and on...what are some of your simple pleasures?
