Can a walk in the park put an extra skip in your step?
When was the last time you grabbed a coffee or poured yourself a drink and sat down to read a good book for a few hours? Do you ever find the time to play a board game or go for a bike ride with your kids?
What are the simple pleasures in your life that remind you that you’re still alive?
Life Skills Trainer, Jill Bonanno, joined me this morning on 98.5 Sonshine FM for our regular Friday morning radio segment, Simply Living. We talked about keeping life simple and making sure that we’re taking time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. It’s not about bigger and better but simpler, deeper and more satisfying.
We had a few people call and email to tell us about their simple pleasures. For Jessica it was simply spending time with her 20 month old son. Jeriah rang to tell us that he and his wife love sitting down to watch old black and white B-Grade movies together, complete with popcorn. Steve’s simple pleasure is walking with his wife. It allows them time to slow down and rediscover the art of conversation.

What is it for you? What are those things that put things back into some kind of perspective for you? Do you regularly take time to enjoy those pleasures or is life crowding them out? What can you do about prioritising a few simple pleasures this year?

I just got back from a walk in Kings Park and feel much better for it.
