Sure, it's in human nature to aspire for something that is bigger and better then what we currently have. I think that we've all seen enough sales pitches from the neighbors down the street who want to get us involved in the next big MLM scheme to agree. While yachts, shiny red European cars, a 5th home in the Carribbean, and endless cuts of Omaha Steaks are all nice, I would have to declare that it's the simple pleasures that really squeeze joy from the fruit of life. Hat's off to those people who can live independent of the rat race and can enjoy those things that are simple, cheap, and around us....those things that might be unheralded or simply waiting to be discovered.
Here is my own little simple pleasure list:- Public Libraries
- Cheap books at half.com
- "Promenade" by U2
- Fresh almonds, lightly roasted
- The 1st season of "Arrested Development"
- Free software
- Walks at dusk in Phoenix when the Orange trees are blossoming
- Photography
- Revisiting old back issues of Sports Illustrated and National Geographic
- Fun time with kids
- Getting great service at your favorite restaurant
- Ideas
- Coming up with schemes with friends
- Wikipedia
- Frosted Mini-Wheats
- Weekend getaways
- Music Making
- Netflix
