What are your simple things?

I love the simple things.
I fancy a bit of luxury every now and then too.

Who doesn’t?

But I really love the simple things.
The taken for granted ones, like the smell of fresh cut grass.
The smell of lime-lemon and fresh herbs on my hands.
Looking at the moon.
Looking at a sky full of stars in the dark.
A bit of a fresh breeze (but not too much because it ruins my hair).
Warm still sea water.
The feeling of sand between my toes.
The sunset.
A Gin&Tonic while appreciating the sunset, but if not, the sunset will do on its own just perfectly.
Caramel ice cream. Caramel in general.
And  Chocolate.
Eating caramel and chocolate ice cream with a scented candle burning.
Movies. And Popcorn. And holding hands (after the popcorn – popcorn first).
A home made meal, especially when it’s cooked by someone else.
Exploring new places. New cultures and habits.

Human Touch. A heart felt honest hug, when you can hear the hearts beat.
A close cuddle, exclusively mine. Being certain of this.
A conversation that makes me dig deep in my soul. With a person who’s willing to dig deep in their soul and expose his deepest thoughts. Connection.
Looking into someone’s eyes and feeling comfortable with it. Complicity.
A loud laugh that I can’t stop.
Feeling free.
Feeling inspired.
Feeling accomplished.
Feeling strong.
Feeling confident.
How often do we become aware of how happy we are when appreciating these silly little things?
How often do we acknowledge their beauty and uniqueness?
What are your simple things?
