Do you mean little things like – freshly laundered bed linen? dew clinging to spider weds like a strong of jewels? having half an hour on your own in the morning to sip your coffee or tea and just breathe? walking to work and seeing a sunrise that is beyond magnificent? the feeling of walking barefoot on soft grass? a stranger smiling at you on the bus?
There are lots and lots and lots of little things that bring me pleasure – and I sometimes I wish I had a little more time to let that pleasure linger and effuse, before I have to crack on with work. But even work brings little pleasures – smiles and thankyous from people you are helping is a wonderful source of joy.
I used to be very good at finding pleasure/happiness from the little things in life. Sadly, the same little things are now little problems that my body no longer worships… or digests properly.
Yes.

Yes for sure. Could be the sun on your face – in winter, not the middle of a heat wave! – or having a laugh with a friend.

The little pleasures are about the only ones I have left, so if I didn’t enjoy them, I’d be in trouble.
