Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen Things about Life’s Simple Pleasures
Cat over at Living with Multiple Personalities tagged me yesterday, so I thought I’d combine her Simple Pleasures Meme with this Thursday 13. I’m not going to tag anyone this time, but if you feel like playing just make a post naming some of life’s simple pleasures that you enjoy most:
Simple Pleasures:
1…. Those first warm spring days and the promise of summer to come.
2…. Walking in the rain on a warm day without a care in the world, just enjoying the feeling, the smell and sound of the rain.
3…. The first snow fall, and the feel of snow flakes as they land on your face and melt.
4…. The brilliant colours of Autumn leaves while they’re still on the trees.
5…. The feel of the sun as it warms my skin on a beautiful day.
6…. The sight of rolling hills, valleys, mountains. I come from an area with astounding natural beauty and I miss those hills and valleys dearly now that I live in such a flat area.
7…. Chocolate, melting slowly, delicious.
8…. Being awake early when all is quiet, watching the sunrise and feeling the first warm rays of the sun.
9…. The sound of laughter, be it from a child or adult. Laughter is infectious and you can’t help but join in.
10…. Rainbows in the sky after a rainstorm. They are always so magical.
11…. Enjoying the sunset, sitting on my porch or in the backyard with my husband. Watching the sky turn purple, then pink, then red.
12…. The look in my husbands eyes every time he sees me.
13…. My husbands warmth. His warm hands and body, so nice when I need warming.
What are your simple pleasures?
hey i am new in this cool thursday 13 group and im not sure am doing it right.How did you get that auto link thing?
WOW wonderfull list, since i dont have 4 seasons, I always wait for the rainy season and like you, i also love when it rains, the smell after the rain. and the rainbow of course!!
I’m a chocoholic , yes they always melt deliciously!!!
awwww what a husband you have!!
Happy T13, mine is up.
I needed that!
Went all meditative, just reading.
Right now the thoughts of 8 and 10 are doing it for me…. but they’re all good!
What a lovely post. Number 12 is so touching. The rest just shows that you are such a nature girl!
I too love walking in the rain….but snow? Nope, not for me….that’s why I live in the south.
My T 13 is up
What a great list – when my teenage daughter was little – we used to run out in the rain and play….we had such fun! I haven’t thought about that in a long time.
I played too
I definitely can agree with number 9, especially a little babies laughter. It makes you go all mushy 😛
Great list
Sorry, Trish, but I updated my T13 with that linky thing. You can go back and update your link
This a beautiful list – thanks for sharing it! I have to agree with #7 – I am personally celebrating the return of the Lindt white chocolate chip for the summer! Thanks for visiting my T 13.
I’ll add one more: reading Tricia’s Musings.
great list.
great, great!
I re-read it twice just for a couple of them.
Chocolate. hmmmmmmmmmmm. chocolate! 🙂
Great list, Tricia!
One of my simple pleasures is sitting in front of a crackling fire, wrapped up in a blanket and reading a book on a snowy day.
Happy Thursday!
What a pleasant TT!! I enjoy the smell of fresh brewed coffee, the touch of tiny hands, the touch of velvet, listening to the birds early in the morning. Happy thursday! 😉
Ahhhh…..so relaxing…….
I so could have made this list! Except for the part about your husband. He never looks at me, and he refuses to warm me up when I get cold. 😉
Happy Thursday!
I do like this list. All good but the last two are special. I love the small jolt I get when hubby looks my way. It is special just for me and makes me tingle! Great list. My list is up!
Great list Tricia!
I love the different seasons and it’s nice to live in an area (now) that has all four, not just summer and winter! 🙂
Happy Thursday!
A lovely list–one we can all vicariously enjoy.
Thanks for visiting my TT about cars.
What a wonderful list! Helped me to start my day off with a smile and feeling good! I love hugs from my kids and my husband, or when I go on my errands when I come home my kids coming out to greet me!
Thnks for stopping by my TT!
Have a great Thursday!
I agree with all of those!!
I can relate to so many of those… sunsets, my hubby… BUT chocolate? No thank you. Nasty stuff there…. lol
You have a nice list here. I enjoyed reading it and it made me feel good. I to love to suck the warmth right out of my husband when it’s cold out. It’s a great feeling.
Wonderful T13 list.
I like everything except watching the sunrise–unless I can do it from my bed. Thanks for visiting my tt.
mmmm I love melting chocolate
What would we do without laughter? I also really liked #7 very descriptive.
I love summer, thunderstorms, rain (just not days of it), my garden, the warmth of sunshine.
you can have all my snow.
my list is up
So, tell me about this warm, spring thing..I don’t understand 😉
This is beautiful. I especially love that your husband still has a twinkle in his eye when he looks at you.
I love all of those things, too, except for 12 & 13, of course 🙂
Sunsets with all the beautiful colors is one of my favorite things also….like a beautiful painting!
Happy Thursday!
all of my favorite things! I love to sit on the porch & watch the rain… wonderful list. peaceful…
I love the rain. Especially thunderstorms.
Beautiful list. I’d love to see your part of the world. Thanks for visiting me today!
I should just say YES to this list, but I have to add that i use Mr Lifecruiser as a radiator…. *lol*
Just reading your list was relaxing.
#8 is one of my favorites as well 🙂
awesome list
I wouldn’t know about waking up early and seeing the sunrise. I am so not a morning person. If I’m seeing the sun rise then I haven’t gone to bed yet and I’m loopy from exhaustion.
That was so wonderful!!! Thank you for that happy post!!
Awesome list. I felt relaxed just reading it. Life is good when you can have those things.
Wow. What a contrast your list is to mine! I’m kind of embarrassed!
Some of your things really made me smile. Unfortunately, we don’t have any snow here in Texas.
But yeah, nice nice list.
Ooh, I like your list. I would have added a nap, too!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I am never very fortunate enough to spot many rainbows, but about a month or two ago, I saw the most beautiful one…it was complete, you could see a starting and an ending (just like in cartoons!)…I wanted to go hunting for the pot of gold!
Thanks for stopping by my TT!
thanks for visiting my TT – Happy Thursday!
leaves and laughter – agreed.
I love it when the leaves start to change into warmer tones – although I love them green also. They are magnificent either way I think. Laughter is my soul – I need it to survive. I also donate my laughs to others to enjoy so they are fed also.
Beautiful list…you’re a very descriptive writer! Also, love the look of your blog!
I *love* #12 and feel the same way too about my own:)
Thanks for visiting my site~!
I love your list. I felt myself relaxing while reading it!
Thanks for visiting my T13
i love autumn leaves too. It’s nice to think about all that we sometimes take for granted.
Loved your T13! WONDERFUL!
Great list! And an awesome looking blog! I love my husband’s hands too! ;o) Thanks for stopping by mine!
