Life's Simple Pleasures

I enjoy...

• blasting the heat in my car on high after a long run/track workout. It's the only time I can do it without gettting sleepy and I love the warmth!
• freshly fallen snow, the way it makes everything look so clean and beautiful and the air smell so crisp.
• getting out of the ocean and laying on the burning hot sand under the warmth of the sun.
• sunsets on the beach.
• clear, blue water.
• catching fireflies on a summer night.
• thunderstorms.
• splish-splashing through puddles in rainboots.
• having deep conversations with friends until the wee hours of the morning.
• bonfires.
• handwritten letters.
• road trips.
• traveling.
• exploring new cities.
• trying new foods/hobbies.
• hearing new songs...and rediscovering old ones.
• reminiscing, usually accompanied by looking through old photos.
• star-gazing.
• cloud-watching.
• experiencing the "runner's high."
• challenges.
• snowboarding.
• parks, picnics, and bbq's.
• British accents =). Aussie accents are nice too.
• reading a good book, the ones you simply can't put down and are worth losing sleep over to finish.
• laughing til it hurts.
• football Sundays, March Madness, World Cup, and the Olympics (I seriously have withdrawal when any of these end).
• the smell of something baking.
• the smell of warm, fresh laundry.
• french fries.
• having weird food obsessions.
• ice-cold, refreshing lemonade or iced tea on a hot summer's day.
• sugar rushes.
• roller coasters.
• spontaneity and surprises.
