Hi Em,
"Teach us delight in simple things and the pleasures thereof" I think it was St.Paul wasn't it that said these now famous words. (and for me at least) the simple things in life are without a doubt the best, and can have the greatest impact on our well-being, on a long -term basis.
My list would include the following:
A beautiful sunset
lakes,rivers,streams,waterfalls, ponds,the sea(I seem to have an affinity with water - that seems to give me a true prespective on life)
All of nature:
trees,plants,flowers,hedgerows, grass,etc.etc.
Good,stimulating conversation
Laughter(one of the greatest tonics there is)
Friendship
Music
Warm sunshine
Watching a bird soaring across the sky
A meadow or field
Observing animals
Looking up at the stars on a clear night
Good healthy food(cooked with the best fresh ingredients)
Sharing all of the above
And of course the great bonus is most of these don't cost a thing in monetry terms!
Thank you so much for writing this post,it has helped me to refocus and regain some of my positivity at a time when things were looking a little bleak.
Thanks also for your kind comment on my last post - but remember that I have also learned a lot from you, (it's a two way street - this learning business)
Finally, thanks again for that wonderful list of 'enriching thoughts' you gave me, it now has 'pride of place' on my 'wall of insperation' D x
