10 Simple Pleasures

Jeri, of Elderjane fame, gave me the idea of posting 10 simple pleasures. Mine's on a daily basis.

1. Working several puzzles (Sudoku, crossword, crypto)

2. Watching bluebirds

3. Making a 10' birdie putt

4. Reading

5. Taking a 15' nap after lunch

6. Drinking a coke float (on occasion)

7. 30' on the piano

8. Enjoying a glass of red wine before supper.

9. Eating garden goodies

10. Having a daily BM (Maybe that should be #1)

Extra: Watching the Cubs (if they're on).

How about you?

Great simple pleasures.. I may have to do this myself. It is always good to be reminded of the simple things and enjoyments in life! Thanks Randy. Who said you could have 11?

Go for it. I'd like to see what makes you "simply" happy Tanya. Glad to hear from you.

Souonds like a girl after my own heart. I could easily be a "wino"!

I love tealstar's addition to the list, but that is not a 'solitary' activity, is it? Know how that goes...sigh. Can't relate to #3 but like the others.

I do not receive notices by mail for an older post. You have to look up top under "Messages" and click on that. Each message is a comment left on one of your posts.

reply by dragonflyby on July 24, 2008 7:36 AM ()

Sorry for the late reply--your comment got by me. I don't get notified via email that people make comments, and I miss some on old posts. Do you get notified, and if so, how do you make it happen?

reply by solitaire on July 19, 2008 7:14 AM ()

Great list. I especially like the bluebird one. We have two kinds of bluebirds here. My favorite is the Mountain Bluebird, but I also like the Western Bluebird. The color of the Mountain Bluebird is so very unique.

I love seeing Mt. bluebirds (Utah)! My Eastern ones are pretty pale. Something scared my pair off. They left behind four eggs in the box.

reply by solitaire on July 13, 2008 7:14 AM ()

Those sound like perfect pleasures!

comment by mellowdee on July 11, 2008 4:25 PM ()

Pretty simple, like me. I need to check you out soon. It's been awhile.

reply by solitaire on July 12, 2008 3:17 PM ()

Yes, let us give Steve the credit but I couldn't stop with five. I like your list and of course you can't have too many pleasures.

comment by elderjane on July 11, 2008 5:31 AM ()

It was fun to do, but I sure could add more. Next: 10 things that irritate me on a daily basis. I hope I can't think of that many!

reply by solitaire on July 11, 2008 4:11 PM ()

Puzzles bring me peace.

Such a simple joy.

comment by shesaidwhat on July 11, 2008 4:05 AM ()

I'm not sure about them bringing me joy, but I like the challenge. Plus it helps keep old man "Alzie" away, so they say.

reply by solitaire on July 11, 2008 4:13 PM ()

Interesting. I heart scrabulous which is on facebook. I lose every time but it doesn't stop me from trying. :)

comment by spicybitch on July 10, 2008 8:25 AM ()

Ooh... I

Scrabulous too! And I'm also a fellow member of the Frequent Scrabulous Losers Club.

reply by mellowdee on July 11, 2008 4:24 PM ()

Don't know about them. Just don't get me started! I have plenty to do.

reply by solitaire on July 11, 2008 4:15 PM ()

I too love the puzzles, sodoku and red wine

comment by ciscawikkeling on July 9, 2008 2:20 AM ()

I get them from the internet, thanks to the NY times.

reply by ciscawikkeling on July 12, 2008 8:52 PM ()

The Chinese have these puzzles available? I bet crosswords are challenging!

reply by solitaire on July 9, 2008 5:02 PM ()

I do #1 too many times during the day.

I'm a puzzle junkike.

comment by jennrud on July 8, 2008 9:57 PM ()

I try to find time to do those three out of the paper. They're easy to get hooked on.

I appreciate you dropping in.

reply by solitaire on July 9, 2008 5:04 PM ()

You sure know how to live,you take the time to smell the roses.People stress over everything these days,with good reason,but they need to learn to appreciate the simple things life has to offer.

I'm a great "appreciater". Just wish I had more time to do the appreciating!

reply by solitaire on July 9, 2008 4:51 PM ()

All good pleasures. You forgot sex.

comment by tealstar on July 8, 2008 3:19 PM ()

Tsk tsk. Perhaps if I had gal around here!

reply by solitaire on July 9, 2008 4:56 PM ()

You have a good life - thanks for giving us a little peek into your day.

comment by troutbend on July 8, 2008 3:18 PM ()

Oh come now, Laura. This is old stuff to you. Still, it's always good to hear from you.

reply by solitaire on July 9, 2008 4:54 PM ()

I think I started this with my 6/29 post called Five Pleasures. Now it has morphed into TEN!! I guess one can't have too many pleasures, eh?

comment by looserobes on July 8, 2008 3:07 PM ()

I'd forgotten you started it Steve. My apologies to the source.
