Thank you Beckie for this really neat meme. And Chrixean tagged me the day after with it :grin:.This reminded me to really stop and ‘smell the roses’. We always try to reach for the stars, but forget that we are already blessed with what God has given us – simple pleasures. So, here are my 10 simple pleasures:
- Being able to read God’s word
- Spending time with my Sweetheart to explore the world around us
- Walking barefoot (best enjoyed on a sandy beach)
- Having a roof over my head
- Having enough to eat
- Smelling fresh brewed coffee (and drinking it :razz:)
- Reading a good book
- Having fresh fruit and veggies
- Great blog ‘conversations’ via the comment section
- Being healthy
I could keep going, because there are so many simple pleasures in life…
Okay, so who am I tagging with the meme? Hm, not sure, because some of readers have done this meme…lets try these fine ladies: M, Carolyn, Faith, Carmen, Amanda :???:. Are you ladies up for it? Just let me know if you have done it already.
BTW – this is the first time I did not write a Carnival post. Believe me I tried, but it was just too emontinal – I had to delete the draft. Please visit Allison today to read great posts about the Beauty of Rain, written by great Christian bloggers.
Great list. I also love smelling fresh brewed coffee but unlike you, I don’t drink it. Having fresh fruits & veggies is an everyday part of my meal.
Cheers!
Wonderful list and I LOVE the picture too. Thanks for participating. I’ll be back to check out the Carnival posts. Sorry to hear yours was too emotional…maybe another time. Have a blessed day!!!!!
Great list and thought provoking. Thanks for sharing. My TT is up . . . hope to see yours later! 🙂 Oh – love the picture you have with this post too! 🙂
I love all your pleasures (of course, I love spending time with MY sweetheart – long talks, etc).
Sometimes we forget life’s most simple pleasures being the very things we need: health, food, shelter.
Walking on the beach – yes! Love the photo too.
Iris, I’m so slow! I’ve put up my Simple Pleasures, and enjoyed yours. I love how you seem to have such a great relationship with your “sweetheart”.
