Reply #46: What a great, positive post! I have many small pleasures! [View All]

[TexasSissy]

1. Hugging my affectionate, fuzzy, black Cocker Spaniel. He loves to be hugged so much that he makes a moaning sound and melts to the floor when I hug him. I love him!

2. That first cup of dark coffee in the morning. I love coffee in the morning!
3. Buying towels on sale - as many as I need or want (there was a time when I couldn't afford them).
4. Taking my dog on a walk on a crisp fall morning or cool, early Spring morning. It's the best! And he's getting old, so the time is approaching where this will soon no longer be possible.

5. Used to be ciggies, until I gave them up several weeks ago. Everyone SHOULD have a vice (perfect people are so boring)...but my lungs were feeling the effects, so I had to give that pleasure up.

6. Jelly beans! Bring on the sugar! (in moderation, of course)

7. Days when I have the discipline to eat low calorie, healthy foods AND exercise, too!

8. Watching a great movie.

9. Lunch with fun friends (there was a time I couldn't afford to eat out, and hence, I still don't enjoy the eating out part, but I do love the friends part)

10. I just bought one of those front loading clothes washing machines. An expensive luxury for frugal me. But I wanted one so much that I splurged, when my old washer broke. I love it!


And many other things, as well. Thanks for the positive post. I was feeling kinda sorry for myself yesterday (bad day, but no big problems). Your post has reminded me of all the pleasures I have now that I used to not have, and that I possibly will not have in the future....and that others don't have. So, thanks!
