Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply,
to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Today was a day filled with many simple, but lovely, pleasures. The day began with some time at my daughter's school and genuine conversation. There was a sense that we were all present, focused, relaxed and really hearing each other. It left me with a great feeling in my heart (it did not hurt that all the conversation was glowing and positive).
Then my darlings and I spent time with grandpa, running errands, enjoying each other's company, playing and then eating yummy food. We went out for lunch and it was delicious and a nice ritual we try to do almost every week. The girls get quality time with Grandpa and at least several games of I Spy. It felt nice that the owner's of the restaurant have come to know us, and come to our table to say hello and how are things.
Then we came home and had a delicious nap. Sleep often feels like something I am lacking, and I enjoy my naps (whenever the opportunity presents). I love the chance to wind down, rest and then feel the surge of energy that comes from a little sleep. The girls and I crafted and baked a cake following nap - really simple, beautiful, delightful pleasures.
Today's picture is brought to you by my darling oldest daughter - wonderful! She would like the world to know that she is thankful for her baby boy cousin. She loves loves loves him and finds him to be very kissable.
What gives you simple pleasure - take the poll and add your voice!
