Positive Thursdays: Simple Pleasures

The reality of life, and lack of sunshine in Detroit, had me feeling a touch frustrated and down today. In turn, this made me think about things that make me smile and I decided to write them down. In no particular order, here are 25 of my Simple Pleasures! :)

1. A really great cup of coffee.
2. Having someone play with your hair.
3. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
4. A baseball game, cold draft beer and good friends on a Friday night.
5. Fresh tulips and gerbera daisies.
6. The awesome architecture and character of old buildings.
7. A special glance.
8. An unexpected card arriving in the mail.
9. Taking a leisurely drive on a long country road.
10. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
11. Lying in bed all day. Just because.
12. Summer thunderstorms.
13. Sitting on the beach at night listening to the ocean.
