seeing that I have email from someone special

i havent gotten to do this in yearsbut it is one of my favorite 'simple pleasures'
sit on a large front or back porch and watch a big thunderstorm roll in across the sky for miles and go stand in it when it gets to me and just stare at the sky til it is gone.

then go in get dried off and into warm clothes fresh out of the dryer and snuggling wiht my sweetie. :x: just imagine! :x:

:jump:

getting a chance to catch up with old friends

The way my daughter puts her arms around my neck in the morning, half-asleep, and wants to be carried.

Sittin on the back porch watchiing the horses graze, hearing the birds sing and NO cars driving by. :)

Having someone in your life with a similar background, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

when someone is a dumbass and it works in your favor and gives you the giggles :p

Watching my daughter sleep so peacefully.
Man they grow up too fast.

CGT, you're so right... the years pass by far too quickly and then our babies have moved on. Watching a child sleep is one of God's gifts to us, I think. At the very least, it helps us to not clobber them while they're awake and being brats, haha.


Some simple pleasures...

The smell of a newly mowed lawn, mmmm

The sound of birds singing (but NOT mockingbirds in the middle of the night :bang: )

The laughter of a baby

Holding his hand

Climbing into bed at the end of the day, when the house is quiet and everyone else is safely in their beds.

Taking a walk on a sunny day, with someone you love. :lurv:

My daughter, crawling into my lap to be my "snugglebunny."

making it to a destination safely

A good game, with some good friends. :)

Afternoon baseball game. :)

Knowing that I won't be leaving this time.

((hugs)) that was so sweet it made me verklempt

calling his voice mail when you know he's not there, just so you can hear him again

Counting the days

damn I have been soooo guilty of that

hearing my lovers voice

being yourself...and knowing that you *can* be

A nice bubble bath

The sound of silence after I can't stand it any longer and make my 14-yr-old turn her "My Chemical Romance" CD off!!!! :hair:

Being able to look over at the Lama at his puter instead of on the web cam.

Seeing the delight in my childrens' eyes when the batter hit a home run.

a family gathering where everyone gets along

just being held

being able to get lots of rest in before i leave the US for Mayhem's arms (and other yummy bits too)

Waking up in his arms and hearing those 3 little words! (swoon)

"Get off me!" ??????????? oh not those 3 :p :D I've been married too long.......sorry :D

my daughter...crawling in bed to sleep with me during the middle of the night without waking me up...and, then, waking up to find her snuggled next to me.

amazingly enough, i got some sleep!

LMAO.....I hope I never hear those words!! :spin:

you won't....I never have either...I was just being goofy :p

laying on my hammock without a care in the world...

Feeling someone trail their fingers over the back of your neck....or feeling the soft whoosh of his breath on your neck, as he holds you close in the middle of the night.

the anticipation of the first kiss...or the first kiss after a *very* long separation

Him rolling over and then pulling me back up against him.

Living in "hayfeverville" and not having a stuffy nose.

Putting aside differences with my ex-husband to enjoy a special moment with our daughter.
