In spite of
the mountains of documents and endless emails that I have yet to read, address,
and sort out, I wasted few minutes today at work staring outside my office
window at the silent rain falling outside. I’ve always loved rain, there’s a
certain calming about it that comforts like a cozy blanket. This seems contrary
to most songs and poems that typically speak of pleasant sunny days and gloomy rainy
days. Plus, some may think it odd that someone born and raised in the “Sunshine
State” like me must like the actually the sun over the rain. I suspect that if
I packed up and moved to somewhere like Seattle where rainy days outnumber
sunny ones, my opinion would change to wanting more sun. But I suppose that’s
what gives value to simple pleasures, the fact that it’s not of great abundance
and so we cherish them even more.
Which brings
me to the question, what simple pleasures do you value? What moments in your
life do you find comforting? Please post your pleasures.
