Today was far busier than I anticipated. However, it was a day full of little pleasures.
Nothing fancy just simple things that give light to an ordinary day.
Just Small Pleasures like:
Having lunch at my favorite restaurant with my favorite co-worker.
A cup of iced spiced chia tea.
Trying a new recipe.
Doing a wee bit of yoga while my laundry was in.
The sun peeking it's head out for a moment in the early afternoon. Sunshine always makes me smile.
This breathing exercise was quite helpful in giving me a little energy. Well, that and a cup of tea.
Hanging out with R. and going through his old books. I love used books that are free!!
Lastly, my little brother(who's not so little)turned 24 today. Gulp...we're getting old!!
What small pleasures are you grateful for today?

ReplyDeletehmm today i am just thankful for quiet moments. i feel like i dont have enough anymore. but my phone died on the way home from work, and i forgot how much i can enjoy sitting in silence.
This is exactly the post I needed today! Sometimes its those little things that matter most. Especially when things that seem "more important" aren't working out. So thank you. Loves, xoxo

ReplyDeleteMy small pleasure today was a big pleasure: having a slow dinner with a dear friend. Perfect way to end the day.
ReplyDeleteOOO, I hadn't seen the new layut yet, but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteAnd books and those other 'small' pleasures - they are what makes life worth living. The beautiful little moments...
Good golly! You just reminded me that I have that book — Essential Yoga. Time to get reading. If you say its got goodies in it, I am a believer. :D
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that recipe looks DELICIOUS! And I'm totally with you on old books...handling them is akin to a spiritual experience for me! lol
