Simple Pleasures

A random list of simple pleasures

Finding yourself awake in the dawn, yet not sleepy. It is silent everywhere around, yet you are awake to that silence.

A gentle breeze, coming from nowhere, kind enough to hug you in the midst of afternoon heat.

A well prepared fresh cup of tea, letting you know its goodness in the first sip.

The evening rays of sunlight, bright enough, yet softened enough to be bearable for your skin.

An uninvited memory of spending the school vacation days in your grandparent's village home.

An unasked-for lift from a kind stranger considerate enough to drop you at your place, after the tiring hours at school.

A bath in the shower good enough to drain away some of the lethargy and restlessness.

Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us. — Oscar Wilde
