Simple Pleasures

Today I choose to focus on simple pleasures:  The bright blue, cloudless sky.  A cool drink of water. The sound of birds singing to one another. A comfortable chair to sit on.  Clothes I enjoy wearing.  A smile from a stranger.  Looking into the eyes of someone I love.  Watching a blue heron slowly walk across the grass.  Leftovers from a meal I liked.  Companionship.  Working with friends.  Accomplishing a goal in adequate time.  Noticing my breath flow into my lungs.  A piece of warm apple pie.  The sounds of music.

I think I could spend the day identifying simple pleasures.  I count myself fortunate.  Gratitude really does lift the heart.
