Why is it the simplest things can sometimes bring the greatest pleasure? Sheets fresh out of the dryer, a great glass of wine, two dollar used books, an offer of help, or a hot bath are some of my simplest pleasures. None of these things are terribly expensive, unique or hard to come by, however each makes me feel great. Sheets fresh out of the dryer are a warm treat, a great glass of two buck chuck is a luxury, two dollar used books make me feel like a million bucks, an offer of help is an offer of love, and a hot bath is a great indulgence.
Everyone has their own special treats, and it never ceases to amaze me the diversity of each person's simple pleasures. While my used book obsession does not make the man especially happy, he loves cookbooks. Hot baths are not every one's forte, but I bought my condo based on the fact that it has a tub with jets. One of the besties loves getting pedicures, and the other cannot imagine the world without Grey's Anatomy. My mom derives great pleasure out of quilting, my father cooking. None of these are complicated hobbies requiring lots of training or specialized equipment, (although the specialized equipment can be a bonus) however all of these things leave people feeling the same way.
What are your simplest pleasures?
