While I was looking for quotes about simple pleasures today, I found so many good ones. I also came across this one:
“Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us.”
Now, I love me my tea, but with all due respect to Mr. Wilde, I disagree. There are SO many more than that. Even this photo that captures a few that I'm looking forward to this weekend doesn't come close--there are my family, friends, worshipping God, music, sunshine, the smell of the air after the rain, knitting, making things, petting cats or other animals, finding a really clever word while playing Scrabble, cuddling, chocolate... the list is actually quite long.
I purchased this book (The Book Thief) several months ago and have been slavering every time I spotted it on my "to-read" pile. This weekend or next, it's getting the cover cracked. I'm so excited.
Simple pleasures are the best. Or, as another saying that I found all over the Internet said:
“Simple pleasures are life’s treasures.”
What "simple pleasures" make your list? Please leave a comment and let me know!
Also, feel free to pin and share these images!
Knitting, reading, tea, things with pumpkin (pie spice)... only a few of life's simple pleasures that I love.
I'm so excited to announce that I will be releasing my Just Plain Mittens pattern next week. It's been a long time a-comin' for what I thought would be a "simple" pattern.
Make sure you don't miss the launch! Are you on my Knitting Circle mailing list?
