I'm stealing this from something CBC (The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) did on the radio MANY moons ago... it was started by the late Peter Gzowski on a show called Morningside...
List SIMPLE pleasures... SMALL joys...
As an example...
#1: Being the first person at a bus stop to notice the bus is coming.
#2: Getting your favourite seat at a restaurant, movie theatre, or even on a bus without extra effort.
#3: Finding a few dollars in large loose change in an old jacket.
So, keep this puppy going! Got any others?

I'd say that's a "big joy" again... Looking for tiny, subtle ones.

My simple joys are:
Waking up alive ... :)
Walking my dogs
Playing with the kids
Eating a nice meal
Spending time with my loved ones
I'm a pretty simple person.

Lessee...
"Waking up alive"
- Uh, I know you... and I've seen you on MOST mornings... and you ain't experiencing joy... so no.
"Walking my dogs"
- Yeah, that's a good one.
"Playing with the kids"
- I'd qualify this as a BIG joy, so not applicable to this list.
"Eating a nice meal"
- Yup. Perfect.
"Spending time with my loved ones"
- I'd go "big joy" again...
I'm really looking for, "Finding your favourite flavour of gum in a store when you thought the company didn't make it anymore."
