Simple things

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”
Robert Breault

Christina has invited us to celebrate the simple things in life that make us happy.
These are some of mine...


* Breakfast in bed

* Arriving home right before it starts raining

* Listening to an old song on the radio and be instantly transported to that summer 

* Painting your nails pink and feeling instantly fabulous

* Reading a blog post and realized that someone has put your exact same thoughts in writing for you to understand

* Chocolate.

* An unexpected call from a friend

What simple things are making you happy? 

For a first round of my simple things, go here. See if you can spot the one that I've mentioned again today!

    At this present moment it is hearing Bryan Adams singing the most beautiful love song. LOL

    Ooooh look at your nails! Fabulous...

    A letter in the mail, not an email, a proper old fashioned letter!

    Finding money in coat pockets that you'd forgotten about.

    Waking up and realising it's not time to get up (although alas that usual means I have to get out of bed to srt out a wailing boy).

    Winter sunshine

    First cup of tea of the day, bliss!

    A fabulous quote to begin with!! And your pleasures are wonderful...an unexpected call from a friend, an old song that takes you back to a specific time, reading a blog post where someone has said exactly what you feel/think...these truly are the simple things in life that can fill us to the brim with joy!

    Your pink nails, wrapped around that blog mug, are very alluring!

    I especially like the one about blog posts putting thoughts into words.

    I'd love some chocolate, something a simple trip to the shop will fix.

    Lovely list.

    Hola soy tu admiradora no tan secreta y me parece que si algún día pones algo que no me encante no voy a estar disponible para comunicártelo porque de la sorpresa me habrá dado un infarto jajaja

    Lo de poner en un lugar palabras que no son tuyas pero que te reflejan perfectamente siempre me pasa con tu blog, estarás hartísima de que te lo diga, pero esque me hace mucha ilusión leerlo siempre :)

    Mil quinientos millones de besos desde la Valencia en la que a 17 de noviembre pasamos de los 25ºC!

    The song on the radio item on your list has me grinning and thinking, "Oh yes. Like the time..." Your list is exactly right.
