- a steaming hot shower on a cold stick-it-to-your-bones damp kind of day
- stopping to talk to a dog and having its eyes light up and tail wag in joy
- participating in a rip roaring laughter fest with your students
- sinking into a heated car seat
- nailing parking your car on your first try
- that oh-so-annoying ingrown hair finally emerging
- relishing a healthy good for you meal
- a brain fog free day
What are your simple pleasures, odd or not?

I loved my heated seats! I got them a few years ago thinking it was a little unnecessary but they are the best.
Hot showers. I want to install an instant shut off valve for the hot water. My kids will drain the water heater no matter how much I plead, yell and threaten them.

Imitation is the highest form of praise….. Good for you. You took my “list” idea for today, and gave it your own twist. I love it!

Love how you have used such sensory adjectives and verbs (lots of ‘ings’ 😉 – steaming, nailing, stick-to-your-bones…
my simplest pleasure is probably hot tea in a favorite mug…starts the day right!

Thanks for your observations. I didn’t realize I used sensory adjectives and verbs. I feel like I just had with you a Writers Workshop on what I did well ☺️ We do this for our students and it feels so nice to be on the receiving end.

I love this list of simple pleasures! You have to be able to notice and appreciate small things to be able to create a list like this, and you did it well! The ingrown hair line made me laugh because it’s so true! 🙂 ~JudyK

Thank you for your insights.
Glad you laughed about the ingrown hair. (I was on the fence about including it, but just having had one break through was a blessed relief.)

So much to appreciate in the simple things of life that we often take for granted! Here’s one from me: That first sip of hot coffee in the morning.

I love your list! I enjoy a steaming hot bath with a good book; using colored fountain pens to write with, and sitting watching the beautiful snow after a “snow day” phone call!

My favorite little pleasure is drinking an excellent cup of coffee in the morning (or three) while reading a good book.

After reading each simple pleasure, I would go, “Ooohhhh.” I could totally relate to each and every one. And a steaming hot shower would have been right up there on my list…right after a sip of Hot White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!
