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.

This may have a few of you shaking your heads in consternation…but…wearing red lipstick. I love it! It’s one of my simple pleasures.

And while I’m being honest and a little loopy, a pretty summer frock and bare feet…that is a simple pleasure…

- watching the sunset
- running around in nature outside (by myself usually)
- driving with good music

just about @Dimity
We'll take the weekend to transition smaller things over (yesterday was furniture, which all had to be picked up from here there and everywhere through private sale), and clean behind us as we go...
Really lagging in emotional energy, I confess - but in my reasoning half of brain am looking forward to an improved situation 🙏
Thanks for your thoughtfulness dimity 🙂
