Hello fellow mylotters! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Anyway, I just want to share that one of the simple things that I enjoy doing is watching the chickens at my grandparent's place. I really enjoy watching them especially those adorable chicks that follow their mama chicken all the time =). Since they are domestic animals, they are not friendly to humans. I remember the time when a hen and a group chicks approached me! As if they were waiting for me to get some corn kernels to feed them, it was really amazing because they really stood and waited at one place until I came back with their favorite corn kernels LOL! How about you guys? What are the simple things that you enjoy in life?

Watching your chickens is something I could do for a while too. The woman next door has a couple and she sometimes lets them have the run of her back yard and I love to watch them. I haver a couple of goats I love to watch and I have a pup that gets up to some funny antics and sometimes has me in stitches. I also like to walk around neighbourhoods and look at houses and gardens. I like remote areas where I can be alone as on a beach and watch the sun come up while drinking my morning coffee. Watching the waves crash to the shore, sometimes loudly, sometimes gently. I love nature of all kinds in all weathers.

I enjoy visiting my local library and borrowing books. I am very keen on reading books and writing stories. I love going for walks in the countryside and by the sea. I love animals and have two pet dogs to care for. One of the simple things I enjoy doing is sit in warm sunshine and watch the waves at the coastline. I had a fantastic weekend and on Saturday I visited a train museum which was very interesting.

Oh that's a very productive hobby :). I also dream of having pets specifically dogs, however at this moment I can't take care of one since I am studying at the university. That's really cool as well, a train museum, never been into one and the funny thing is I rarely ride a train probably only twice in my life when I was in UK.

I enjoy watching reality shows with my family. Almost every night we will all gather and watch a show together. Our favorite is singing shows. There are good ones on like American Idol, The Voice and now The X Factor. I feel like it keeps us together as a family. During commercials we talk about our day. Instead of watching t.v. in different rooms and doing our own things this makes us spend family time together!

We also eat dinner as a family every night. If my husband is not home yet we wait for him. This is our time to tell each other about our day. This is also the time the girls make special requests on things they want to do or things they want us to buy.

Walking barefoot in cold, sandy creeks... Splashing in mud puddles. Coloring in coloring books... Leisurely drives and stopping along the way to take photos and pick wildflowers... Standing in the rain... Having my daughter home from school during the summer, sleeping in, and being able to spend the remainder of the day with her and watch movies late at night, watch my 2 cats play... Playing with babies..blowing bubbles... I could go on forever (:

@zoey Awww, that's so sweet :), I can really feel your happiness with your words. @saia Welcome to mylot, thanks for the wonderful insight as well. I totally agree that what is important is that you are genuinely enjoying whatever you are doing.

I think it was W.H. Davies who wrote: "What is this life if full of care? We have no time to stand and stare" You seem to live life at your terms, refusing to bow down to "cares" that inevitably stifle one into morose "responsibility", and take your time time "to stand and stare". My temperament is similar to yours and I too love losing (and thus, paradoxically, finding) myself in "simple" pleasures. I delight walking in the rain, watching the morning dew refract and reflect sunlight into an a burst of colourful ecstasy while I walk barefoot on the cold,wet grass. Equally delightful is watching my son and other children play and speak in innocence, two young lovers strolling down the deserted street lost in one another, a zephyr shaking the green leaves of gigantic trees, the star-adorned night sky... I cannot imagine or understand anyone sacrificing happiness under the pretext of doing useful work. Because I am inherently happy I even do what is normally considered serious work joyfully, whistling to my heart's content.

I enjoy watching rays and manthas. Since I had accident and I have some movement limitation I discovered that I really love watch those great creatures. In the water they look like beautiful butterflies. They seams to be flying. Thanks to them I started swimming and in the water I feel really free without limitations.

I enjoy watching animals. Few months ago I had wto mini hamsters ( Roborovski) and they were just joy to watch. They were fighting about our attention all the time and I can say that they made my days more happy. Sad is that they live only 2 years so they passed away and I was depressed after that.

Wow! That is unique :), it only shows that GOD provided us wonderful things in this world particularly the ones in nature, however not everyone get to appreciate it. That's why even it seems funny, I am proud to say that I enjoy watching chickens lol.

i enjoy being with my family and just watch dvd all day with them and share a couple of buffalo chicken wings and a couple of pizza slices. I guess that would mean a simple thing going great. ;)

I really enjoy being still. Like when I'm peacefully watching a movie with my children, or just when we are all contently doing our own thing or something together. I also really enjoy when everyone is sleep and I have my time to myself to watch tv or use the pc or talk on the phone.

Oh, that's really awesome... :( well I am all alone at the moment since my parents and only brother is abroad, though I have some relatives here but no one can replace your real family. Also, just to share, one of my dream in the future is to have a wonderful wife and children :). Happy lotting!

I love watching television with the whole family even it if gets too noisy because everyone has his/her own opinion to say regarding what we are watching. Also i love playing with my nephews and nieces coz it's really fun to act like a child sometimes. I love reading books and listening to music. These are the simple things that i would never get tired of doing.

One of the simple things I enjoy doing is playing with my niece who is already 1 year old.Whenever she is around the house, we cannot do anything in the house because she is a very energetic child. She wants to play and dance all the time. Whenever every one of us will be busy doing something else, she will call our name. Her voice is very cute and once we pay attention with her, she will eagerly pay us a very angelic smile. Whenever she laughs, its like she will not laugh again. She laughs very loudly when we tickle her or when we play with her especially hide and seek.

That is absolutely amazing! I love babies and toddlers, especially when they smile and laugh. Once again, this reminds me of my young cousins, anyway I hope to see them soon. Happy lotting!

I enjoy it when there is no one else around, and I can have the house to myself. The reason for that is because I like to stretch out on the couch and watch televison without people bothering me. I also take advantage of that time for some other recreational activities that I sometimes do to aleviate stress and relax.

Yeah, I agree that sometimes there are things that we can only enjoy better if we are all alone at the house, but ofcourse being alone for a long time is not fun as well. Welcome to mylot and happy lotting :).

Funny because I am watching Ghajini right now. Well, simple things I really enjoy doing is writing. I don't know, just love it a lot and can express in it very much.

LOL! Really? Well my real name is John but I decided use ghajini as my mylot username because of the film. It's an entertaining film, though I don't like the violent parts but the love story of sanjay and kalpana is really touching. Yeah writing is really relaxing, as an engineering student, I personally find writing more fun than solving math, physics and engineering problems. Have a nice weekend.
