Life's Little Pleasures

For those of you who know me well, I have a few indulgences. One is coffee and another is shoes. Chocolate, hot showers, red wine, grilled salmon and good books make the list as well. I know some of those are silly, but I bet you have a few little pleasures that make you smile, too. Do you find that life has you so bogged down that you can't enjoy little pleasures anymore? Is your day so full of chores or a heavy workload that you crawl into bed exhausted each night? Are you living in depression over finances or a broken relationship? Are you complaining about the "lack of" in your life and wonder if it will ever change? All of these situations can leave you drained and void of the little pleasures in life...a child's giggle, a beautiful sunset, a great cup of coffee or a hot bath. We all are guilty of going through the motions and missing out on things that bring us peace.  Be good to yourself today. Look for little pleasures that bring you joy during lifes' difficult days. Find ways to bless others, and put a smile on someone elses face by your act of kindness. When you begin to enjoy life's little pleasures, just maybe, you will open up the floodgates to receive a life of abundant blessings. Look at the world around you...there are little pleasures everywhere! Enjoy them!
