Simple Pleasures

I read this post yesterday on Kelly's Blog and it got me thinking about those things that are so simple, yet wonderful in my day.  

-A cup of coffee in my favorite brown mug :) 

-Watching Ava sit on her knees and play by herself.

-An unexpected email from a friend or a card in the mail.

-Travis coming home early from work or going in late.

-Making a to-do list and actually crossing stuff off of it!  

-A trip to Target, BY MYSELF!  

-Extra fun money, to spend anyway I want (this does not happen very often!)

-Doing something for Trav that makes him happy. 

-Finding a great  recipe and making it.

-Entertaining.

-Giftcards!  A free cup of coffee or a dinner out thrills my soul :) 

-Finding a wonderful bargain :) 

-Chatting on Skype with family.

-Empty laundry baskets because it's all clean and put away.

-Sunshine.

-Having the windows and the sliding door open all day.

-New thin line sharpies :) 

-A color coordinated calendar.

-A date night.  

-Reading books, playing with toys, laughing, and snuggling with Ava.  

-Checking on her and watching her sleep before I go to bed.

-Climbing in bed every night with the hottest guy I know and knowing that he's mine :) 

It's easy to get wrapped up in what I don't have or what I wish I had, all too often...

But it's far better to remember the many blessings I do have.

Simple and wonderful.

What are some of your simple pleasures??
