Personally, an abundance of “stuff” is not what speaks volumes to me... having "a lot of stuff" does not bring me pleasure. Life isn’t about how many designers are hanging in your closet or the class of car you drive. Life is not about the size of your home or the size of your bank account ; it is about life's moments that create memories or moments that bring you to your inner peace. (although watching the RHO Beverley Hills can make you think otherwise)
My birthday is coming up this weekend and I've been asked what I want to do. To be honest, this year I want to engage in the simple pleasures I love most. I don't mind doing a dinner and a drink or two, but on my actual birthday which is this Sunday Id like to do my routine. My usual Sunday routine consists of Church, brunch at Le Pain, catching up on a good read and pure lazy relaxation. Life has been crazy the past few months due to the holidays so I haven't had the chance to fully commit to the simple pleasures that Sunday brings me. Its moments like this I love the most, when I am in tune with my mind, body and spirit and feel totally spoiled. Yes, they are all simple pleasures but pleasures that far outweigh any material item. For my birthday I wish, I wish for more time spent on life's simple pleasures.
Here are some simple pleasures and moments that provide an overwhelming amount of pleasure in my life on every possible level.

| Purchasing and arranging seasonal flowers for my home. Flowers in a room can instantly change my mood and dress up any décor. |
Cuddling up in my favorite couch blanket and dozing off to sound of a flickering candle
My morning cup of Joe. Just me, my thoughts and preparing for the start of the day. Or savoring a hot cup on the weekend in my favorite lounge wear. *note - I'm a better person with coffee. ask anyone that knows me well. be afraid if you cross my path pre-coffee. ;)
& last but certainly not least.....My favorite simple pleasure. A dinner table surrounded with close friends and family breaking bread together and eating a meal made with love. Nothing brings me back down to earth better than a love fest over a feast of good food, spirits and conversation.
What simple moments bring you the most pleasure?
I hope you enjoy life's simple pleasures and take in the moment. Put your phones down and be present. Or put your phone down and get lost in a good book. Have a beautiful weekend & I will be back Monday.... one age year later!
