Simple Pleasures
I was given an assignment should I choose to accept it, that being to "name five simple pleasures that I like most, then pick people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use five things that someone else already has." I normally don't actually do these things, but I was warned that if I didn't I would be cursed and my children would be born with three heads, etc etc etc. Much appreciated Prag and LRH.
I haven't read too many peoples lists, so here goes and I hope I am not copying.
1. Lying in bed and snuggling with my daughter
2. Making a friend smile or laugh, especially when they are in a bad mood.
3. Receiving an unexpected phone call or e-mail from a good friend or relative.
4. Completing a difficult assignment, i.e. computer program (I was once a computer geek, no comment as to what I am now), or (let me try and sound frum) figuring out a nice pshat (see my previous post, "nature vs. nurture").
5A. Drinking hot chocolate in front of a fireplace on a cold wintery day.
5B. Putting on a warm article of clothing fresh out of the dryer.
I wonder if #5A and #5B are seasonal. In this weather, though, who can blame me.
I think all of my regular readers have already been tagged, but if you don't think you have been yet, now consider yourself tagged.

Yep, these simple pleasures in life are priceless. You are such a giving person, it is reflected in your choices of this assignment. Kudos to you! How I ENVY that!
All they have to do is put my name on their sidebar, or just ask nicely. :-)
The cuddling one reminds me of my neices and when they use to sleep in their parents bed.
I know what you mean by completing a difficult assignment. It feels so good.
I can truly relate to 3. That is one of best feelings. I also dabble a little in programming and if you work at a problem for hours..then figure it out...you feel like dancing.
Great list, very simple yet so real.
david, it's funny you should say that. I actually had that experience on Tuesday, and literally did a little dance. lol.
The child in me, what can I say.
Thank you too masmida
