My grandkids.I thank my daughter every day for them.

porridge, my pussycat, and shoes, lots of shoes

Ducky

Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot, nine days old.
Well, don't ask me. I'm just saying :)

A roof over my head, food to eat, family and friends and a job.

My three tiny grandaughters. It’s been difficult for me to connect with the two year old but I  think I have made it. We were all standing around watching the Halloween parade and she came up to me and handed me a big round rock. I gave her a hug. The rock is on my mantle ... and will always be.

It always makes me happy whenever I see a dog  wagging its tail  leading the way with its master, especially when its an elderly widower.

how about the privilage of being able to pick up the phone and having a pizza or even chinese food delivered at just the touch of a button..

very grateful for being able to buy food and have roof over my head and many more and when I spoke to my Mom on saturday .....

Sight

I think these change according to what is going on in your life. The best  is to hear my dads voice on the phone as he is in recovery from strokes and lucky to be alive. Also when the house is empty and all I hear is the silence. Having time to pick up a book and be able to digest the material, dancing to a song t hat makes you want to move, the love from my little bird when she rests her little head on my hand for a tickle,hearing "I love you".

That stuff that goes up your nose loaded with oxygen and comes back out with carbon dioxide, without it I would be nothing.

I would not be able to laugh out loud with my dog, yes she does laughs in her own way.

I would not be able to look out the window as I just did to see blue skies with fluffy white clouds.

 I would not be able to hear "Love you Grandad" on the `phone or hold the kids in my arms.

I would not be able to appreciate the companionship of friends.

Oh! so many things, "talking to you wonderful people including my new mat ROMOS"

None of these could I do without that stuff we take for granted, AIR.

As a child; rubbing a buttercup on the palm of my hand to see if "she loves me" and collecting polly-wogs from the stream that ran into the swamp. Mom's potato soup.

As an adolescent; my transistor radio that I hung from the handle bars of my Sears 3 speed bike.

As an adult; peanuts in the shell with a glass of Pepsi, mentholated lotion after a shower on a hot day, the first rain.

My soft bed and warm blankets

" Freedom Of Speech. ''

SMALL PLEASURES:  
Like you, the kitty that sits on my lap and purrs.  
A game of "10,000 Aces" with my 93-year-old mom.
Reruns of shows I like.
Cinnamon-flavored gum.
Getting a book from the library.
An hour to enjoy the pool on a sunny day.
Listening to music.
Sketching.   That's a few SMALL PLEASURES.
 

 "Being able to drink through a straw."

Love and respect shown me by my growing family.

A lovely flight on my Luna Moth on a clear nigh when the stars overtake the sky- especially seeing falling stars.  Swimming in clear warm water enjoying the soft breeze and listening to the dolphins laugh.  Laughing.  I love to laugh!

eating dinner with my family, sleeping in my cozy bed at night, and waking up to a fresh new day

Just waking up to greet the day... every thing is a bonus actually.

Most of the small pleasures in life I enjoy is being able to see the beauty on this earth, the sunsets, the starry skies, the beauty of the desert. Meeting new and interesting people.I suppose I have an artists view on things.

OLIVER everytime.

Being in a warm home on a day like today,11 degrees outside.

Oliver.

Meaningful "Thank you's"

Darci13,  please,  who is Oliver??   Child, pet or other??
