Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world. Oscar Wilde

 I've written before about one of my favourite simple pleasures - ironing in the sunshine on the deck, listening to audio books. It's a great way to rake the 'work' out of dull routine.

I've discovered two more that I'll share. One is simple. During frangipani season, when the flowers scatter the footpaths, each dog walk I pick up the more perfect one I can find and put it in a little vase near the sink when I get home. I love the smell and it's as joyous to me as having a store bought bouquet. Long time readers might recall I did the same in Bali. It's funny I had this habit I wasn't really aware of until I thought about this post.

The last I discovered by accident. I left my Birkenstocks outside after lunch on a hot sunny day. I had a bath later on, and then when to walk the dog. When I put my soft (from soaking in the tub) feet in the Birkies, they were warmed. It was bliss. It lasted for the first half of the walk, making me smile with delight at how simple yet satisfying this pleasure was...so I will try to do this more often!

What are your tips for simple pleasures that bring you great happiness?
