10 Simple Pleasures

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

10 Simple Pleasures

Post by Movieman »

I'm not sure what gave me the idea for this thread, but the idea is that everyone post 10 everyday things that give them pleasure. These things don't necessarily have to happen to you every day, but at least somewhat frequent.

1. Daily devotions.
2. A hot shower.
3. Getting paid from work.
4. Reading a good book.
5. Drinking A Frosty Coca-Cola (when it's borderline frozen and ice crystals are starting to form in it).
6. Sleeping late.
7. Getting mail (bills don't count, of course).
8. Watching my favorite tv shows.
9. Hanging out with friends.
10. Eating a juicy (medium-rare) steak... it doesn't happen every day (I'm so poor, lol), but I had to add it since I love steak.
