tag: 10 simple pleasures
i haven't been blogging much lately even though there have been many things i've wanted to write about. i guess i just haven't been motivated enough and feeling kind of lazy, but since i was tagged by chris, i will make the effort. :)
10 simple pleasures in life that i love (in no particular order)...
1o. eating something really good, whether it's fine dining or just a really sweet and juicy strawberry. i'm such a foodie--even if i'm feeling down or sad just eating something good usually cheers me up.
9. listening to opera music while having lunch, especially in the midst of a busy work day. when i feel like there's so much for me to do, i try to remind myself to take at least a half hour for lunch instead of rushing through it, and listening to opera music usually helps me slow down.
8. hanging out at a cute coffee shop, whether with a friend or just being there alone.
7. taking an after-dinner walk with byron.
6. reading a really engrossing book until the wee hours of the morning because you can't put it down.
5. hanging out with my sister, no matter what we do--watching tv, shopping, doing "girlie" things. just being with her makes me happy.
4. seeing little children playing, whether outside my window or driving past them or just from being in public--it always makes me smile.
3. getting a handwritten letter in the mail. with email so common these days, it's such a treat to have someone actually use cute stationery and make the effort.
2. walking on campus during the fall--i love the smell of the season, the bustle of a new school year, new beginnings. actually, also walking around campus on the weekends and summers, when no one is around. i just love both the serenity and the bustle.
1. walking across a beautiful bridge on a misty, lightly raining day with an umbrella. okay, so maybe this sounds more romantic than a simple pleasure, but it was so beautiful. i did this with joy and joyce on the brookly bridge during our 2003 new york trip. i want to do this on a bridge in paris with byron!
