Simple Pleasures

Its the simple pleasures in life That excite me the most Like the smell of coffee in the morning Or Vegemite on toast A beautiful day around nature Laughter , cuddles galore Lattes and cuppa’s Being with the humans l adore Watching a good crime series Being comfy and cosy at home Eating lots of chocolate Writing poems, doing Wordle on my phone Being warm and snug in my bed Listening to music or the rain Its these and so many more simple pleasures That bring my life contentment again and again!

It is so true that the simple things are what make most of us the happiness. Why do so many of us forget this? Enjoyed.

You have put together a lovely recipe for contentment, but Vegemite? . I am probably one of few Aussies who would not miss it. Love the poem Deb, motivates me to make up a list for myself.

wonderful thoughts, Deb. I miss having coffee with neighbors. No one, including me, has time for that simple pleasure. And you can't beat a good crime series! Take care.

Hello Deb, Oh these are lovely simply pleasures .I love the smell of coffee I enjoy blackberry jam on toast. I enjoy to hear the Dove's sing in the early morning. I listen to the music of the rain. Listening to Gordon Lightfoot's music. Roy Orbison, Blue Grass, Andre Rico, Beethoven Moonlight these are some of my fav. Sonata. Thes are some of my fVmusic. Darlene

This poem made me smile, Deb. I can picture you now, curlers in your hair, housecoat buttoned all the way up, feet curled underneath you while you're watching TV. With a big Cheshire cat smile on your chocolate smeared face. LOL Happy Mother's Day, young lady:)
