Maybe we could start a thread for those “simple pleasures” that awaken our senses, bring us some joy/relief/comfort. Might be a silly idea. Maybe already a discussion like this. There was a discussion about what makes us smile awhile back. However I can see how it may be perceived as unhelpful for many. Just my gibberish again.

Hey @Former-Member ! Great to see you!
Wrong section? I think it's pretty appropriate 🙂
Simple pleasures... really feeling the water run down your back during a shower is incredible. We just need to take the time to feel it 🙂

Great topic @Former-Member
My simple pleasure is talking with my kids. They bring so much joy into my life.
I could stand in the shower for hours @tyme!

nice idea for a thread @Former-Member
I must confess: I am quite a hedonist, and I could probably list a remarkable number of 'simple pleasures'...!
For the sake of brevity I'll offer just 3 for now:
😊 Have yourself a nice night 🙏

Another simple pleasure is watching my 3 yr old niece sleep @Kyle1 @Former-Member @Dimity @Snowie - she still closes her fists like a baby. She's so adorable when she's asleep. I can watch her for hours!

I love that, @tyme!
Another simple pleasure for me is hearing my youngest (teen) bound up the stairs, (or barrel down the stairs more often than I’d like), but it always brings a smile to my face, and that moment captures her endless energy, her effervescence, her spirit.
