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.

lol...yeah, it is. @Former-Member
Makes no difference to me tho... I can sleep (or not) just as readily with or without coffee. So, I enjoy it whenever I want.

But seriously @Kyle1., I want all those things I wrote of. I’ve been through so so much over my 46 years. I hope you find that someone who will treasure you…I think my words are all jumbled..

mmm... why not?
It's hard to imagine who wouldn't want those things @Former-Member ?
I don't think it's such a "too much" kinda thing to ask, personally...
but speaking from experience, I know it can be far too foreign for some folks to understand!
Its a sweet wish, @Former-Member
Hold fast to it!!
