Here are the simple things I am enjoying lately:
- Pandora radio (James Taylor station)
- Starbucks instant coffee...seriously!
- The sound of a quiet house
- Taking mini breaks throughout my day to stop and breathe
- Looking at photos on flickr...oodles of inspiration there!
- Reading short stories and poems
- Numi aged Earl of Gray tea
- Thick comfy socks that keep my toes toasty
- Rich dark chocolate melting in my mouth
- Crossing things off my to do list
- Feeling all warm and snug under my covers
- Daydreaming on a rainy day
- Feeding my soul with inspiration
- Being 40 and finally becoming fierce
- Learning to let go
- Saying no
- Taking more risks
- Freaking out less
- That satisfying feeling right after sneezing (yah...I just sneezed!)
- Vanilla peppermint body scrub...gets off all the dry skin and makes you smell yummy!
- Lavender scented eye pillows
- Discovering something new
- An Indian buffet on a cold gloomy day...all that rich spicy food making you warm inside!
- Laughing so hard that tears roll down your face
- Moments of pure uninterrupted peace and quiet
Thank you Christina.
One love ;)
Take a peek...I am blooming 365 days in 2010

Yes, I've heard that Starbucks new instant coffee is delicious! Not what you expect from an instant coffee. And I loves me some James Taylor too.
What wonderful things for you to be enjoying today, this week and this month, Caroline:)
All beautiful wonderful things...

Thanks for sharing!
You've captured the essence of "simple pleasure" so well Caroline. I never really thought about how I feel after a sneeze, but you know, you're right -- that is a pleasure!! :)
I so love how you are evolving, becoming fierce, learning to say no and empowering yourself. Now that is a pleasure to embrace indeed! xo
I love everything on your list but the last one has to be my number 1.
Thanks for sharing this list.
I'm nodding and whispering amaen at, "daydreaming on a rainy day, learning to let go, and feeding my soul with inspiration." Loved your simple things list.

"freaking out less and james taylor" i seriously love this. a beautiful soft and slow list. : )

Your words and images are one of my simple pleasures. Thank you!
Such a beautiful list. A few that resonated with me:
Pandora radio (me too!)
the sound of a quiet house
learning to let go (that's huge)
being 40 (well almost 50) and finally becoming fierce!
saying no (a hard one)
Thanks--you've made me appreciate things I hadn't even thought of!
i looooove that picture.
great list too. i think i may just have to go make my own!
Love James Taylor and especially love becoming fierce. Perfect!
Awwww...nothing can relax me like the sound of Mr. James Taylor.
And if you like short stories, have you ever read Jhumpa Lahiri's "Unaccustomed Earth"? I just "discovered" it and fell in love. She is a master of the genre.
Wonderful list.
daydreaming is the ideal way to spend a rainy afternoon. BTW I soo want Indian food now.
I need to freak out less and daydream more. Great list Caroline! James Taylor is wonderful.

It is simple, isn't it? Thanks for sharing. I like the feeling fierce at 40. I'll be there in about 4 years.
James Taylor and Carol King are coming to Phoenix to do a concert together. Come on over and you can get some sun as well!
A wonderful list. There is something about entering your 40's that is freeing..
Oh my gosh!! I totally love the feeling just after you sneeze! LOVE IT!!
And, right now I am listening to my newly created James Taylor station on Pandora. Thanks.
Yea, nice list. I love Pandora Radio.

Caroline, great thoughts and images to go with it. I love the sense of calm you create across the electronic world with your posts.
I love your list. Reading each one makes me stop and imagine it fully--I like that. I like that your blog is called "Constantly Evolving." We all need to keep growing and becoming--stay in the flow! I found you through Christina to Sherry to you--a nice trail!
You said "chocolate" Well...among other things...but chocolate is what stood out to me -- think it is time to take a walk to the store! :)
Love James Taylor "Shower the people you love with love....' always makes me smile :o)
Nice list. Ebullient.
Great list! Now I'm going to read your post about chasing the stick. Have a wonderful weekend!
Excellent
