Simple Joys

Is there anything better in life than a simple joy? The kind that you see/experience often, but in their simplicity bring a smile to your face and a joy to your heart.

It's what happens when you are driving in the car, and a song you love comes on the radio. Even if you own a copy of the song and can listen to it as often as you want, somehow hearing it on the radio brings you happiness. That's a simple joy.

It's what happens when you crack open a nut and find two inside. Sure, if you're that hungry, you could just crack open two of them, but you don't have to, because there was a bonus nut inside. That's a simple joy.

It's what happens when you watch a child run around and laugh with innocent laughter and simply enjoy life. Reminds you of the better times in your life when you can be carefree and just happy. That's a simple joy.

I enjoy life better when I take time to notice the simple joys. I experienced all three of the ones listed above today. And I had a good day.

Thanks Reece, Phil Collins, and the almond I cracked open and had double nutmeat inside.
