OctPoWriMo Day 30

 

Today's theme is Simple Pleasures. I find that the older I become, the more I appreciate simple pleasures. My list includes all sorts of things like spending time in nature, spending time with loved ones, reading, and writing. It's such an easy way to reset and find peace especially during hectic times. I also find inspiration in each of these activities. 

The idea of simple is key. Taking advantage of opportunities imbedded in everyday life makes these rewards that much easier, but there is an element of commitment involved. Self-care isn't always at the top of the priority list however much it should be. A moment spent on things that make you happy is well worth the investment. What would you include on your list of Simple Pleasures? Are these activities you make time for or do you take things as they come? How do Simple Pleasures enhance your life?
