Life's little pleasures
Andrzej JMar 13, 24
A simple pleasure is anything that brings you a sense of joy, no matter how ordinary. It can be absolutely anything the beauty of taking the long walk home to enjoy the sights, or brewing your favourite coffee. What's wonderful about life's simple pleasures is that they are everywhere around us. What would be yours?

    Knowing that nothing really matters In the end Yet the same time everything matters In becoming who you are to reach the end

      Every time a dog begs me for a pat or a small child comes up to me smiling or wanting to tell me something .Cooking something for myself or someone else and making them happy .

            For those of us of the older brigade regular bowel habits are important.

              I enjoy being woken by the call of the birds each morning. I'm lucky that I have a row of gum trees along the road outside my house.

                        I like to take a walk around the neighborhood. There is always someone to say hello to. If I am really bored - I might ring a friend and say - are you free I would love to come over with 2 coffees.

                            I really like a pretty sunrise and sunset. Especially beautiful at the beach listening to the waves lick at the sand.

                              What makes happy that is most important. Something that gave you .peace in your body soul and mind. Don't get engaged in arguments or criticise anyone. Look at sky every morning and said thank God I am alive

                                The fact that every day I come home that are how long I've been gone for No matter where I've gone no matter what time I come home No matter what shape I'm in when I come home My dog Is so happy to see me It's as if It's the first time Or As if he hasn't seen me For years It's the best thing that's ever happened to him And it's the same response every single time It fills me with such joy It makes me Want to come home that much more just for that That little simple pleasure Brightens my life More than anything else I believe

                                      Every morning is a wonderful pleasure, so is a sunset over water. Greeting foxes each afternoon is a pleasure, in fact life in general is a pleasure, aches and pains not included. Every day I thank Jehovah for his undeserved kindness allowing me to draw another breath.

                                                            I like going out in the bush overnight with my swag and backpack. Cook a thick T-bone on an open fire with coals to bring out an amazing smoky taste. Explore during the day and watch the camp fire at night. Not a sound except for the crackling of the fire. Miles from anywhere or anything. I have some survival equipment that can turn muddy water into the most cleanest drinking water. I'm starting to get good at trapping and foraging for bush food as well. Look out Bear Grylls/lol.

The birds, the sunrise and sunsets, the friends and family to have coffee with, the books I've still to read, the music I still listen to, all of these are my little joys and so glad I have someone to care for and to protect me and know they'll be there to meet me when I come home.

But better still as the Liberals want Nuclear in Au how about turning them into the Prototypes by stuffing 4 or 5 44 Gallon Drums of Yellow Cake into them and then attaching 11 KVA wires to their Nipple Nuts before mounting them on top of power poles and connecting them directly to the 11 KV lines to supply power to the local area? If they fail to work all we need do is throw them into some lead coffins and dump them in the deepest part of the ocean with enough weight to be sure that they will hit the bottom and stay there. We have plenty of Politicians wanting Small Modular Reactors which don't exist a tthe moment so we could use them till we run out of Politicians who want Nuclear and do not believe them when they so no we did not mean it because you know when a politician is telling lies as you can see their lips move. What better way to Prototype a SMR and not cost the earth to do it use existing useless consumers of air and contamination of the Gene Pool for something useful instead of allowing them to bleed us dry with all their "EXPENCES." I hope you now have the idea I really dislike Politicians and not just from one party but them all not a single one is as useful as Teats on a BUll. As for the line "Politicians are human beings first who have families who love them." that is debatable the best that can be said is they are a rejected by evolution Subspecies of Homesapiens who have no business poluting the Gene Pool any longer.
