Simple Pleasures


It's the small pleasures that make life worth living

Derived from contact

Goals within reach

There's something wonderful about their simplicity:

playing with a pet,

saving a life,

staying up with him all night,

deep conversations,

poking fun at others,

discussing a movie,

reading a book,

savoring the flavor of your favorite food,

opening your first check,

the long awaited first kiss,

dancing in the rain,

finishing a series,

writing a story,

making a friend,

dyeing your hair,

cutting it, too,

learning to drive,

graduating school,

getting a pet,

watching it grow.

I'd miss all of this

Wouldn't you?
