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.

It’s uncharacteristically cool this evening @Kyle1 I have even gone to the trouble of covering myself with a blanket. Rain…mmmmm. The thought of it on the tin roof, the smell of it through the open window…. We need more rain here…

Yeah... I'm quite enjoying it tonight @Former-Member
It's a refreshing shower - not that miserable sad rain. But the glossy, treble kind. 🙂
I'm hoping you'll enjoy a cosy, restful weekend ahead .
