Simple Pleasures
May 10th, 2008
Today is a wonderful, wonderful day. :) My teeth still hurt but I’m just so happy it doesn’t really matter. It’s just nice to take a step back sometimes, and even nicer still to have the opportunity to do so, and look back at all the awesomeness that I’ve been blessed with. I just can’t find the words to describe how content I am right now.
I woke up with my Hunny this morning, neither of us having to work, and we played with the cats for a little bit, laughing at Kitten as he tried to dig his way under the covers. Then Hunny tackled me because I wouldn’t let him get up. What can I say? Only a complete fool would give up such a snuggly source of free body heat.
When he finally did manage to detach me and get out of bed he said “I’m going to go make some coffee. Tea? Cocoa?” A man of few words he may be but he still manages to say so much. Alas, I am not permitted caffeine in ‘normal-people’ doses do to my… er… sensitively to it.
So I had some nice red tea mixed with a splash of honey. Mmmm.
Have you ever gotten up in the morning to enjoy a nice hot cut of whatever with your loved one? If not do so. Now. Go right back to bed, get up again, and start the day all over just so you can enjoy that wonderfully simple pleasure that so many take for granted.
I’m serious. It’s never too late to start the day all over again. Hell, I wake up in middle of the afternoon and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a loved one to share it with. Just wake up, grab a steaming mug of whatever makes you happy and find some place quiet to sit with your thoughts during the precious time after consciousness but before your brain has truly begun to function.
Spoil yourself and enjoy life before ‘routine’ sucks the fun out of everything. It’s the simple pleasures and these few small moments before all the junk we consider important in life that we’ll really miss should they be taken away. Don’t waste your life. Don’t be in a hurry to wake up and get the day going. And above all else don’t forget to drink a nice hot cup of something.
You think I’m joking? I’m not.
Go.
Now.
I’ll be here when you get back.
i tried to comment on this earlier, but my pc froze, so if you get two, please discard this one… :-)
so what did i say? hmm…
something about how yes, i have known that feeling; but, no, at the moment i don’t have that luxury, unfortunately. but i do have my imagination. heh.
but, yes, that is a lovely feeling, and i hope you feel it a gazillion times more.

J1M: Nope, didn’t get two but I did get an email saying I had a omment up here that I wasn’t able to find so lol maybe that was it. :)
Imagination can be just as good so long as you’ve had it once before. :) Just remember to take some time for yourself now and then. Okay? Tofu!
