Simple Pleasures

Kelly, over at Kelly's Korner, did a blog post about the Simple Pleasures in life - the little things in life that just make you smile. Here are just a few of mine.

• hugging my parents when I haven't seen them in a long time


• the feeling of accomplishing something really hard or really worth while and marking it off your 'to do' list
  
• summer nights sitting outside on the back porch with the ones you love just talking about nothing or not talking at all
  
• the feeling of sand in between my toes and the ocean rushing up my ankles for the first time all year!


• the SOUND and SMELL of the ocean


• waking up to the sound of children laughing (this happened recently when I was around my little cousins) maybe one day it will happen in my own home. :)


• seeing my dogs tails start wagging like crazy the minute they hear my voice or see my face
  


• a white chocolate mocha with hazelnut from Starbucks and knowing that I got it half off because my husband gets a discount :)


• the feeling of satisfaction when I turn my computer off Friday afternoon and can go home knowing that I had a good work week


• finding a great sale on something I REALLY need (and not just WANT)
  
• waking up to a husband who loves me more than anything (and visa versa) :) but I won't go into all that mushy stuff



• stepping on the scale on Saturday morning and seeing a number that is less than it was LAST Saturday morning


• the feeling I get when I take a really good picture or capture a special moment on camera.

What are some of your Simple Pleasures??
