Some of the sweetest moments in life are the simplest. At the start of another week (2 months and 2 weeks into the experiment), it seems fitting to write 22 of what I consider to be life’s simple joys.
1. A stranger’s smile
2. Songs that are too beautiful to contain words
3. Climbing trees
4. The feeling after finishing reading an exceptional book
5. Sipping a non-fat vanilla latte on a cold/rainy day
6. Grandmother’s hugs
7. Morning sunshine

10. Running in the rain
11. Receiving a letter
12. Singing!
13. Naps in the sun
14. Cowgirl boots
15. Hot showers
16. Dancing
17. A call from a friend
18. Writing with an awesome pen
19. Watching children learn to walk
20. A faint train whistle
21. Knowing local store owners by name
22. The moon
What are some of your simple joys?
may I add one of my own?
A random act of kindness
and another one: forgivness.

Thinking is a simple pleasure of mine.
Observing the world and my surroundings, trying to integrate the observed into my positive actions. I dont react to anything negative. I walk away.
Interesting, Birgit. It can take a lot of courage to walk away… Thanks for posting!
Saying a simple prayer with the simple purpose of connection.

These are fantastic! I especially love the “certain shakes of pink” and Ikea. Just visited your entire list–it’s a great one! It’s so important to pay attention to the ‘little’ things in life, for they often make up some of our best moments and memories. 🙂
Like it!
Yes, these are the rarest pleasures whose joy lasts a lifetime—they are the most fragrant flowers whose perfume lingers for ever…..
