It's my opinion that simple pleasures are what make life great. With all the other craziness that we all inevitably deal with every day in one way or another, it's what gives us some respite. Some happiness and joy, no strings attached.
You know, like reading a book. Doing a crossword puzzle. Long walks on nice days. A really, really good glass of wine. (Ok yes, these all happen to be very specific to me.. but you get the idea!)
While I try to fit as many of these simple pleasures into my daily life as possible, I experienced one a few weeks ago that was extra nice.. and all it consisted of was listening to a relatively new song with a new ear and a new sense of appreciation.
