Life is just so freaking full of simple pleasures that I find it hard to get stuck in a rut. The smallest, silliest, truly what can be so insignificant things light me up! Just today I became giddy about:
~pulling into a small parking lot that is often full and tada finding a space available!
~wanting an evening snack and aha remembering I had popcorn to pop!
~watching old episodes of sex and the city
~receiving my Nubo Nao order in the mail
~a stranger flagging me down to warn me about street cleaning so I wouldn’t get a ticket
~trying new recipes for my upcoming ebook cookbook with Sophie of Philosophie
~facetiming with my boyfriend while he is in Europe on tour
~having the space to do yoga in my house
I could go on and on. But, my day was not all laughs and utter bliss. I had a very transparent, emotional, kind-of-a-mess conversation with a friend who I cherish. I had moments of what the fuck am I doing? I had to loop around a neighborhood several times to find parking because of forementioned street cleaning. I re-considered some friendships in my life and whether they really served me and if they lived up to what a friendship was. I remembered some things I had meant to get done that I had totally forgotten about. I talked with a friend who has to suddenly move with her newborn because of a dishonest landlord situation.
So, life is not all unicorn and rainbows. I do not float around on cozy cloud of comfort. Life shows up everyday in many forms. It always will. It will continue to lift us up and knock us down. But, no matter what shows up in your days, I invite you to find, see, enjoy, cherish the simple pleasures. We don’t know what is going to show up tomorrow, or the next day. So, we best enjoy the shit out of today.
I leave you with this simple pleasure.
