Life's Little Pleasures

I think it's nice when something really small makes me happy and reminds me of how wonderful it is to be alive. I usually have several of these moments a day (well, on good days anyway) and laugh at myself intermittently for how odd I am sometimes.

For example, I bought myself some new deodorant today. I like to try out all of the different scents, so I bought a stick called "tropical satin" this time. Apparently it's supposed to moisturize the underarm area as well as act as an anti-perspirant. I know, modern science is amazing, right? So anyway, I just took a shower after working out, and I decided to try the new deodorant. It smelled really nice, it felt smooth as it was going on, and it made me feel pretty. I did a little "I feel pretty" dance and decided to write a post about it since I haven't posted in a while.

But honestly, I can't be the only one who rejoices about silly little things. What are your little pleasures?

Coffee from a mug that's the right size and shape.

Being alone—no roommates—and singing really, really loud.

I've also realized how much I love having my stuff the way I want it.

These blogs are certainly a pleasure. I don't know if they're a "little pleasure"; at my stage, they might be a big pleasure.
