Counting Our Daily Pleasures

Clothes freshly washed

give pleasure.

A hot dog on the fourth of July,

and pizza anytime,

give pleasure.

A good book, a movie,

a garden in bloom--

how numerous

are the pleasures of our lives,

if we would only stop awhile,

and count them.

--------------------------------

All of us whether we are rich or poor have many pleasures that we can always count on to bring us a smile. Many of us discount these simple pleasures because they are so abundant and so easily accessible.

If we stopped to count each daily enjoyment, we would probably be surprised at how many we all experience.

Unfortunately, not all of us have the inclination to do this, because many of us move too quickly through our days.

Pausing to enjoy these small daily pleasures is one important way of celebrating life and maximizing our enjoyment in living.
