Forget money, forget fame, forget glory. What are your SIMPLE pleasures in life?

Simple pleasures and free is spending time with my little sister and teaching her that life isn't all bad..going swimming..or just playing a few board games..taking walks till we feel like our legs are gonna fall off or ride our bikes.. it is fun and it is free and I am happy we have that freedom to do so.. so freedom is a simple pleasure for me. I also love reading books. I guess now a days people call our simple pleasures almost frugal..

Drinking a cup of tea in front of TV or the internet. Playing with my son on computer. Watching the rain when I am inside drinking a hot chocolate.

Yes,its true that we forgot simple pleasures of life which is not costly while maintaining everyday busiest schedule of work.We need to work for survival,to have a good life.So,everyone become so busy that have no time to think about simple pleasures like to spend time with family,to go out for a movie etc,which will add a sweet taste of life also.These are little things but everyone shouldn't lost this sweet moments which belong to us.For me i am fortunate that i have little time to spend with my family,go out for a long ride with my wife,enjoying taking break from my hectic schedule.

I remember it clearly on my mind. It was our first summer together and my boyfriend let me go with him in Zambales. And I experienced to swim in the beach, yes that was my first time setting foot in the salty water of the sea. The feeling of the sand under my feet, and the fresh windy air that you can't find in the city. I would never ever forget that, and I will be back next summer to experience it again. I just don't know if I can still travel by that time I'll be 8 months pregnant or so... Waaaaahhh. I want to swim again in the sea, by the way I only learned how to swim when I was there in Zambales.

My simple pleasures are being with my children and Hubby everyday.Being able to watch my children grow is a big pleasure. And talkng to the rest of my family as much as I can is another. One other pleasure is being able to help people is a great one too. When you help people you end up with a great pleasure knowing you are doing a good deed. The greast pleasure of all is taking my boys to the park and being able to see all they approve at in all they do. And being able to sit back and watch your hubby play with the children. My hubby is so good with the boys he is always making funny noises to make them laugh and when he tries so hard to comfort them when they are sick it puts a smile on my face.

Ahh the simple pleasures in life, I dwell in many. It makes life easier and much more happier. I love watching my kids and grandbabies grow. I adore making them laugh and smile, never can get enough of it. I can even explain how watching a small childs eyes light up and hearing them laugh makes me feel. My other simple pleasures are walking in the woods, reading, talking to my best friend, husband, and mom. To stay in bed an extra hour on Sundays to cuddle with my husband is just awesome! Working outside with the family doing wood is another pleasure, I know it is work too but we have such good discussions! Watching wildlife with the family, watching Tessa try and catch a frog .. there are just so many and Im glad that I get to enjoy them all.

My simple pleasure are drinking a cup of coffee at the afternoon while i feel so sleepy, then i browsing internet for free

My simple pleasure include walking, reading and enjoying a natter with friends. Little things please me like a favourite pudding at work at lunchtime. I also like to take photographs!

I like eating cakes, chocolates and hanging out with my friends and family.

One of my simple pleasures is actually performing for and impressing people with my magic. As a magician I really feel happy whenever there's an applause or when someone says "How do you do that?" For me it means that I have successfully entertained people and that made me happy as well. Also spending time with friends and the people I love makes me really happy.

If I can catch on my beauty sleep, that would make me a very very happy lady. I am happy when I think my makeup looks nice. I am happy if I think I look good. I am happy to see my pug, wagging her tail when she's happy to see me. I am happy to have my pug snuggle up beside me, following me around. I am happy when I look at the stars, the moon, and enjoy the gentle night breeze. I am happy when I see the flower/ plants that I planted bloom and grew..ahh..there's countless simple pleasures in my life..:-) After all these, I am happy to be able to share it with you..HAHA

frankly, i'm a smple person, moeny, fame, glory are nothing foe me, i have already treat them as cloud, which will flow away soon. only ove is all my love. i know i'm wrong with this attitude, but i'm indeed a person like this. i'm often sad for my love, quarrel with my lover beacuse of love, but i never care about money fame. of course, my fame is good.

The sunrise and the awakening songs of the birds. Watching the squirrels gather their food. The wind in my hair. The air that I exchange with the trees. The sparkle in my children's eyes. Morning hugs. Saying I Love You. Praying. Meditation. Riding my bike. A tall glass of ice cold water. A cup of hot tea and a good book. Learning, studying, and anything creative I can do with my hands. Playing with my dogs. Playing with my Grandchildren. The feel of a delicate flower and its sweet fragrance. Writing. Cooking with Love and patience. A good nights sleep. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Dancing in the rain. Just being in the moment. Sharing my Love. Volunteering for good causes. Watching a funny movie. Reading my Bible and understanding it. Learning a new language. Gazing into the stars. Wishing on a fallen star. The sound of the waves, the smell of the salt water on the beach, the beautiful hues of blue in the water. These are just a few and lets not forget intelligent conversation with a friend.

You may count me in one of the unfortunates, coz not much time to go in theatres to watch movies. Life is mostly confined to children, their studies,cooking taking care of the family,and the rest of the time, some part time work. On weekends there is the tension of pending works that could not be completed on weekdays.So quite hectic life....

Very interesting question. Well the only answer I would give is to spend time with my husband even if we are sitting in a dark room doing nothing but just talking to each other. I think that is the best thing that I can think of right now.I just forget all my worries when I am with him. I see a lot's of couples going out to movies or shopping or just traveling here and there just to enjoy and have fun but I don't see that with myself, not that I hate doing it but just because I prefer to be with him and we never get bored of talking to each other.

I try every day to walk where I can enjoy the simple sights and sounds of nature: wind blowing in the trees, waves crashing on the shore, the sound of seabirds calling, or watching them dive into the salty water, the laughter of children as they safely play. When my work is done, I like to read and be transported in my mind. I like to feel grateful every day for things in my life, which are not related to money or status, but my own personal moments of love and joy.

Share a bottle of Vodka with best friend and have some gossip. I really enjoy the time when we both have a drink and share our thoughts about many things.

Ah James, your topic just made me want to cry. Simple pleasures are made fabulous by people who love... i have not felt love around me lately, so even eating cheesecake (make it "choke-cake") makes me cry. Later on though, my boys wake up and scramble all over me. That's double pleasure. Peace and quiet in the early morning with a cup of gloriously rich and hot cappuccino, a woman's magazine in hand, and a straight 4 hours to myself (to sleep, or watch a movie without any interruption, or just to be able to relax). Oh splendid! It's just a wish right now, though.

Simple pleasure with no monetary expectations, with no fame or glory,is to put your ideas into one. Dream that things will be possible. When you dream, you put things behind. Dream where you be at peace, what you look at life, what if you have something to give, something to sacrifice about, what Love will gain on you, what dreams like is what you become. Always after the math of dreams, a pray , a grateful one that you have the opportunity to dream, that you have the possibility it will take place, your not asking or pleading for it, or you will not order God to fullfill it for you but you are grateful that you can still wait and the answer is in the will of God. Don't be in a hurry, because when you dream, you are not sure it will, but if its God will , there is nothing impossible to HIM. You may learn something out of curiosity, God has made everything possible, try to know things how he done it, the chemistry and the science that evolves in this planet has a theoretical explanation for everything, you dont have to have book to learn, observe and watch. Learning something new is fun, don't get yourself bored, enjoy your life while it last.God is with us, he finds way where you will feel comfortable with HIM, take love another chance in your heart, and the price is more rewarding. Appreciate that God has given, everything counts, as your hair been counted already and knows who you are, and what you're thinking about.
