I've posted often in the past about the little, everyday things that I cling to in times of slipping sanity. I don't post about these things because they're constantly before me; I post them because I need the constant reminder, to draw my own attention to them as much as to draw the readers'. This morning when I read Jordana's list, I realized how much I've been overlooking and underappreciating the little things again. Time to remedy the situation. Thanks for the reminder, Jordana.
Five Little Things that Bring You Satisfaction or Pleasure
1. Stroking the Great Golden Sun Cat
2. Sitting on a pond or creek bank in the sun.
3. The sky. In any weather.
4. A warm husband upon whom to place my cold feet at night.
5. Green, growing things.
I know it's easy to say, "If you've read this, consider yourself tagged," but I really mean it. I want to know everyone's simple pleasures. Leave a comment or just post. I'll be watching for them.

I love your #4 :)
posted now at my house ... love yours, wondering if you'd be a-castin' off the pond bank while you're sitting there??
Teri
Megan--Number 3! Love it.
Seeker--I'm looking at #5 and thinking you're a sick, sick person. But then, being bitten by my cat does the same thing for me, so who'm I to judge? :)
Jennifer--Thank you. :)
Ben--Thanks to you, too. I'll comment on yours and Jennifer's on your respective blogs.
Beth--Thankyew, too.
Meg--Oh, number 3 for sure!
Teri--In the old days, yes. Now I just sit and watch turtles/frogs/herons/ducks/birds/cows/possums/leaping fish/racoons/whatever with no excuse except that I like doing it. Age has its advantages. :)
It took me a while, but I took up the tag.
