Here's my list of simple pleasures.
1. reading and finishing a good book
2. snuggling in bed with a special someone (my child or my hubby)
3. waking up late on a lazy day (how I love that!)

Awww that list had so many of my favorite things to do. Sometimes we just fail to realize all the precious moments we experience everyday. Those moments are what makes life so special and beautiful.
