A list of simple pleasures. - ZEFRANK.COM

Sometimes, making a list of small pleasures in life forces one to realize just how lucky we are.

Hearing my sister was cancer free!

Having my brother marry his sweetheart.

How happy my dog is to see me when I come home from work.

Seeing people sing along to the radio in their cars while I head home from work - their windows are up and I have no idea what they are singing but they look like they are having fun.

A kiss from my boyfriend/girlfriend

Hearing a child giggle.

Having a very cosy "full" bed on a Saturday morning - boyfriend or girlfriend, dog, cat and me.

Hearing my cat purring away while he eats.

My flannel sheets.

My fleece pjs.

Chocolate.

Two elderly people holding hands.

A rainbow.

Great big snowflakes falling to the ground on a sunny winter day.

Fridays at 5 p.m.!

Helping someone, being thanked, and telling them it was a privilege. And meaning it.

xfox · 01-30-2005, 10:07 PM

Breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks in between.

craig johnston · 01-30-2005, 10:21 PM

hot water bottle
nail clippers
clean hair
socks that match
other people's skin

a thank you for an act you take for granted
a spontaneous kiss or hug from a loved one
hsb. showing up with take out without being asked
sleeping in and staying in flannels all day..and not caring about bed-head.

making a weepy child laugh
having a waiter tell you that you smell good
talking about my brother and laughing at how crazy he was

im a HUGE fan of the driver wave.
like, if youre driving up the highway and someone wants in your lane and you go out of your way to let them in and they give you the thanks wave.
that makes my ****ing day
OR
a big trucker whos hard to change lanes and you let him in.. and he flashes his rear lights in thanks. It makes me feel like a million bucks.

trisherina · 01-31-2005, 06:35 AM

Or the bus driver who opens his little side window and gives you a wave in the side mirror.

-when the person at the drive through window says "You're welcome".

Walking past the cat in the hall, and having him twist his head and fall over for a belly rub.

Hummingbirds in the back yard.

The sound of the ice on the lake, moaning and creaking on an otherwise silent night.

joking with the waiter when you know hes had a rough day (makes both of us feel better)
curling irons that get hot in 5 seconds

smellyrayzin · 02-01-2005, 04:14 AM

drawing doodles all over my notes (i.e. penises, and plenty of susie + NIN = love)
soda (namely: caffiene)
my hookah
singing rock songs w/ my dad
seeing little kids faces light up when they pet my dog (nothing cuter than a fat friendly dalmation, hehe)

JesusTitties · 02-01-2005, 05:17 AM

you or someone you know cutting a really loud fart, particularly in public and the laughter that follows for days
