Last Top Ten post I promised that I would give you the Top Ten things that I’ll call “little pleasures.” These are small things I especially enjoy, things that bring a secret little smile to my face. Things I wish I could do and see more often, but if they were often, commonplace things, they probably wouldn’t bring me so much pleasure, would they?
Normally in my Top Ten, I put them in order of importance, with 10 being the least important and 1 being the most important whatever-it-is I’m talking about at the moment. But this time I couldn’t put them in any order. All of these things make me especially happy, and none are really more important than the other.
Also, I normally write a few sentences of explanation with each one. I’m not doing that today, either. These things are self-explanatory, so I’m just going to list them, and let you imagine them in your mind and think about the pleasure they bring you.
So, here they be:
10. Butterflies
9. Sitting in the sun
8. Fresh sheets and pajamas right out of the dryer
7. Coffee and books
6. Fresh flowers in the spring
5. Smell of a new book (or an old one!)
4. Bird watching
3. Quiet bike ride
2. Taking a shower
1. Lilacs
What things bring a special smile to your face?
Here's 10 for me, in no particular order:
ReplyDelete1. Ice cream
2. The smell of freshly mown grass
3. Walking barefoot in cool grass
4. Hammocks
5. The smell of lilacs
6. The satisfaction of a day of hard physical work
7. Cool, crisp fall mornings
8. Frsh, unspoiled snow
9. Rugged scenery
10. The roar of jets flying close overhead
