Simple Pleasures

Life is full of simple pleasures. while we are busy out there struggling, working, striving for more, more, more...

a rose has blossomed
the sun has set brilliantly
a perfect seashell has been washed upon the beach
a child has put little arms around you and hugged you tight with all the love in his being
the sound of silence has shared it's magic
a new day has dawned magnificently
a perfect tone was found
laughter has cheered the heart
a bubble bath has relaxed the stress out
a perfect pillow has invited excellent sleep
a cool breeze has shimmered through the heat
a poem has touched your heart
a friend has taken time for coffee with you

Each day a million miracles are busy passing our way and we are so busy trying to be somewhere else that we forget to be where we are. There's a remedy for this ailment - a really good simple kind of remedy that really, really works...

Breathe.

Breathe in slowly and deeply extending your diaphragm and ribcage and tummy as you breathe in and count to at least 10.

Hold the breath to at least 10.

Softly and slowly release the breath out and count to at least 10 and find 10 simple pleasures that make life wonderful.

Life is full of simple pleasures if only we will stop to see them. G'head.

Blessings.
