I have been thinking about Solitaires simple pleasure list. I think it is something everyone should do. There must be little things throughout life that bring us pleasure. Today just thinking about my simple pleasures is bringing me tears.

1. A hug from my kids

2. A scratch off lottery ticket

3. A non fat sugar free cinnamon hazelnut latte extra hot

4. Watching my kids giggle and laugh

5. Camping

6. A kudos or compliment

7. Sitting by a fire

8. A rainy day with my cat and a good book

9. Coming home to someone happy to see me

10. watching the ocean


After thinking about my list i realized how many little things there are in life that bring me pleasure. I forget these things amongst the daily grind of life and divorce. I think the divorce is getting closer and I'm having even more regrets. I saw our marriage license and lost it, I thought of my proposal and smiled. I can love and miss my husband and wish we could make it work all I want but it won't change anything. This list won't change any of that but it gave me a different focus.. a focus of things that I don't regret, things to look forward to. Thanks Randy!

You have so many simply pleasures to be happy for.

It's hard getting through the loss and pain of a divorce. It really does take time, but you have to ultimately do what's best for you and your family, no matter how difficult. Hugs

What a good idea...a list of happy things might just be what the doctor ordered for this Canadian Girl, too.I think that you're totally allowed to mourn the loss of your marriage to your husband and say good bye to that relationship and the person you used to be...and it's never easy...Don't be so hard on yourself for feeling sad.And p.s. Get your stencil and paint out, girl...I'm coming to get you!
