I love daily calendars. This year I have only two: I have the 2014 Book Lovers Calendar in the kitchen. I have the 2014 Kathy Davis' Scatter Joy calendar beside my overstuffed easy chair where I read, play games and sometimes watch TV.
Last Wednesday, the Scatter Joy message was "find joy in simple pleasures." I have that page on my desk at work at Unity and I started a list of some of the simple pleasures I've been enjoying lately:

A beautiful sunset

Walking my dogs

A good soccer match

Finding the right card
to send to a friend

A great BLT (bacon,
lettuce, tomato sandwich), especially with my homegrown tomato

Holding my husband's
hand

A full moon

A chocolate chip cookie, especially one from Unity's renter Flying Avocado

A cool breeze on a
summer morning

The sight of a bright
red cardinal and his mate at our bird feeder

A hot air balloon
landing in our field

| The landing was smooth and it took barely 30 minutes for the crew to gently collapse the balloon. |
I could go on and on. But for now, I just remind myself that life's challenges come and go. Simple pleasures are there for me to notice and appreciate no matter what else is happening in my life.
