Five Life's Simple Pleasures
Let's face it. Life is tough especially when you are stuck in a predicament with a clear way out. You just have to ride the storm in order to see a better weather. However, this does not mean that all things related to life are bad. There are some simple pleasures that I may have secretly enjoyed despite the challenges in life. You too, may have subconsciously celebrate life's simple pleasures in your own unique way.
1. Finding out new flavour of certain snacks
I love snacking and I don't think I snack based on my emotion, because...well I snack all the time despite my feeling. LOL. Fellow snack-eater will understand the feeling of happiness that I experience everytime I see a new brand or a new flavour introduced for certain cookies or chips.
2. Realizing you have more time to sleep
Sometimes in the morning, I wake up earlier than my alarm clock because of nature's call. When I go back to my room, I will check on my phone to see the time and I secretly smile when I see I actually have more time to sleep. No matter if it's one hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes or even 5 minutes. Funny, isn't it?
3. Reminiscing about old times with closest friends
Meeting with the same set of friends and repeating the same thing over and over again. It sounds boring on paper but I don't know when you are doing it, there is something magical about it. The conversation just keeps on flowing and you feel a tinge of satisfaction after that. The sweetness of friendship, perhaps?
4. The feeling after a rigorous workout
"I can't do this anymore. Can I just exit the class? Oh my gawd, how many more times do I have to do that movement?"
Despite all the grumble and moaning inside the gym class, I feel so good after a rigorous workout despite my drenched clothes. And don't even talk about the smell. Hahaha. I guess it's like a great accomplishment, like you just save the world from the cruel invader called bad fats.
5. Hearing the right song at the right moment
This often happens to me because I usually walk with my ear plugged (only if the walk does not involve crossing through busy streets with crossing cars, etc). For example, you hear "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5 when it is really raining on a Sunday morning. Or you hear "An Adventure of a Lifetime" by Coldplay when you are really going for an adventure outside your city or country.
I am sure you have a lot of simple pleasures that are unique to you. Embrace them, enjoy the moments and don't let the challenges in life make you forget how to enjoy life.
