I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite things that bring me pleasure and you might find one or two new ideas that could bring you a little happiness, too.
Here are some of the things I do that bring pleasure to life:
* Lying on the couch in a quite evening and listen to ‘Canon in D’.
* Eat my favorite desserts without counting the calories, I will pay back the next day.* Put a few drops of valerian essential oil on my pillow at bedtime.
* Playing my violin without looking at the pieces. No rules, no stress.
* Catch the first tee-off in time, enjoy the game, love the smell of the grasses early in the morning.
* Stay up late chatting with friends online on any topics.
* Give myself a manicure.
* Spend an afternoon at the book store and get lost in an interesting good book.
* Blogging.
These small acts of pleasure can easily fit into a busy day. The kind of things that add joy to your day or calm your mind when things get crazy... I think I'm OK sticking with my little pleasure.

People should take time out of their daily schedules to do some of the little things they love to do.
yeah you are right. lil things counts in fact they matter me more. usually the big things are reserved for others.
wake up, i smell my 8-year old son's teddy bear which is stinky and so smelly but that's what gives me the 'ummmpphhh' thing and refreshing. then a bit of cat yoga before i really wake up.
working time, joke with my secretary. i like her smile ... hehe. lunch time ... loafthing a bit at the plaza on the ground floor watching ladies passing by ... very nice ... hehehe.
after working ... gym thing for 15 minutes then bath. on the way home ... turn on the music preferably ABBA so never mind the traffic... ABBA is too good that I never bother the traffic.
at night, watch the kids sleeping in their beds ... they look cute. watching their mother sleeping however can turn to be not the lil thing ... hehehehe.
Just love that cute picture. These little things are treasurable coz its always the time which we never manage to get into it.
There is only one thing I can say after reading your favorite things.
AHHHHH!
My favourite thing now is spending time with my new daughter :-)
whether it be
- changing her nappy
- just spending quiet time together
- even the being vomitted all over
- watching her while she sleeps
AWwww gorgeous kitty. And yes, every single little thing counts...wont let a day go by when we dont value the little things :)
Awesome List Pink, Just so ya know I tagged you for a meme on my blog, if you want. Have a great weekend! :)
These little pleasures will make you feel relaxed and happy for however the day goes...
I think all of us should do something special for ourselves once in a way especially when you have a hectic schedule.Taking some down time really helps.I love candle light dinners too and gazing at the stars.
A lot of small pleasures that can be great pleasures - if you know how to appreciate them... and you obviously do! (... and you play the violin!!!)
Great post! Giving yourself time to yourself is something we all should do.
Very Nice !! it's the little pleasures/moments that create a joyful life...Keep enJOYing them!
