Walking a centuries-old cobblestone street in some place I’ve never been to before (ok, getting there may not be simple).

Conversations with friends.

Strumming a guitar.

Hearing my kids say, “Daddy, you’re so silly!”

and almost everything above that does not include a pet.

1. The smell of old books.

2. Warm, fuzzy slippers.

3. Wearing mismatched socks.

4. Drinking coffee someone else made for me. Especially when it’s my kids.

5. Making people laugh and/or smile.

6. Reading a book. (It kills me that I haven’t had time recently)

1. Low light room with lots of jazz blaring from the speakers.

2. The smell of my kitchen after a weekend of baking. (all healthy of course)

3. The twenty minutes or so in the am, when it is just my husband and I drinking coffee. The rest of the house is still asleep.

4. Reading my A.A. Milne books from when I was a child..and watching my children read them too.

A nap on the boat while waiting for the fish to wake up from their nap.

1. Listening to music through the headphones with the volume up and eyes closed.
2. Late night/early morning when no one is awake and the phone won’t ring and there is beautiful, quiet darkness and I don’t have to get up early or go anywhere the next day- ie, some Friday and Saturday nights after midnight or so.
3. Rereading books that are old friends.
4. Uninterrupted naps.

Driving to and from work. It’s a very scenic salt marsh, both during the day under the sun and at night under the moon.

Sleeping for as long as I want. I love days where nothing on my list is scheduled, and I don’t have to keep waking up every hour to check the clock (whether the alarm is set or not).

Watering my plants. Even if they never do give me anything in return.

Back when I had fish, keeping the tank clean and watching them grow.

Hmmmm. Really, my whole life is a simple pleasure.
