Isn’t that the truth? Where do we get the idea that something HUGE and expensive will give us more pleasure than something as small as a china tea cup and a good book? Simple pleasures are great!

This is so true! I need to try to remind myself of this! For instance, when people talk about vacations they go on, I sometimes think it would be nice for us to take vacations. But, whenever we do, I’m always beat and it’s never as good as I thought it would be. So often, things just sound a whole lot better than they really are.

I’m gonna have to join the others and agree. In fact, I don’t see how anybody could possibly disagree.

When I look back, every really wonderful memory I have involves a situation that was just “for the moment”, if you understand what I mean. No huge expenses involved, no planning… just moments of sheer joy that happened to be.

Wise words.
Do those activites that make YOU feel refreshed, not what you think you should do. Spending a quiet evening with your family, cuddling with your son sounds absolutely cozy and relaxing!

What a beautiful post. I think we can always do little things to feel indulged: get flowers for the vase in the living room, splurge on that flavored coffee so that the whole house smells like French-Vanilla each time we make it, play our favorite music in the background, light a scented candle, and so on. I think we should try to incopororate small indulgences into our lives as often as we can.

A wonderful post!

“Indulged” is a great word and the fact that the feeling doesn’t come from spending loads of time or money on something is a testament to the simple life.

I wrote a similar post just today if anyone’s interested (”Re-seeing those we love” http://snurl.com/2e4zw).

Again, great post! Thanks for sharing it with us.
