Simple Pleasures . . .
"Pleasure is seldom found where it is sought; our brightest blazes of gladness are kindled by unexpected sparks.” Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784
After all these years it finally happened. On a breakfast date with a friend, after we both enjoyed a delicious breakfast, we shared a slice of ice cream pie for dessert. A big piece. Chocolate, of course. Ah, the simple things of life make all the difference.
It tasted good. It was fun. I wonder if there’s ice cream in heaven. Maybe I’ll get to be a “fountain girl” and make milkshakes all eternity. Chocolate, of course.
It was as natural as if I did it every day. (Well, if no one is home, I do!) Ice cream for breakfast. Chocolate, of course.
Sydney J. Harris said: “A real friend is not so much someone you feel free to be serious with as someone you feel free to be silly with.” My friend, Jackie, has a special place in my heart for enthusiastically sharing such a special treat with me.
What simple pleasures are you letting pass by? I encouraged you to be a little silly. With chocolate, of course.
