What’s a simple pleasure in life that brings you joy?
The unexpected.
Sitting beside/in/around any body of water. Moonlit nights. Sunrise mornings. Crisp bonfire evenings. Slow steady walks through trails of trees and leaves. Long barefoot strolls in the sand. Road trips with no destination and no expectations. A candle lit bubble bath. The belly laugh of a baby/toddler.
The older I get, the less it takes to impress me.
spending the early morning at the ocean, muffled to the ears, figuring out if it’s tide coming in or tide going out. Leaving when the bathing suits (if you can call them that these days) arrive…
There is a place here, an estuary walk dedicated to Rachel Carson. They have walkways above the water, and if you time it right you can see all manner of shore birds, small wildlife critters, and the ocean to your left, far in the distance.
That sounds lovely.
