Enjoy the simple pleasures.
Have I mentioned this one already? If I have, do it again. It's good for you.
Tonight it really rained for the first time since last fall. I love the rain. It makes for some good metaphors and quotes about bad days, but it makes me happy too. Even though it was a little chilly and dark, it's almost therapeutic thing for me. I went outside and just sat on my porch. Just sat, barefoot and without a blanket, all curled up on the doorstep, and just listened.
Sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is just stop for a minute and listen. Not to music, not to conversations, just sit, listen, and take a deep breath. Life is good.
The challenge. Enjoy just sitting and listening to the rain falling, somebody whistling and walking by, curling up in a blanket. Just enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Enjoy the simple pleasure of doing simple things for other people. Stop at a lemonade like Saturday's post. Empty a dishwasher for mom. Say hi to someone when you pass them. A lot of the time, if not all of the time, we find what we need by helping others with what they need.
So in the end, it's kind of three challenges:
1) Enjoy today's simple pleasures
2) Just stop and listen
3) Do the simple and helpful things for others.
