15 THINGS // THE SIMPLE THINGS

The best things in life are free, well the majority of them at least are. And today I wanted to count down fifteen of the most luxuriously simple things (in my humble opinion) that we have and quite often take for granted. Keep in mind though, it is winter over here in Australia so this list may be a little influenced by this.

15. Smile. Especially when it comes from a stranger or passerby. You never quite know what another person is feeling or batteling. A simple smile or kind hello in exchnage may just

14. That feeling of crisp fresh sheets

13. Those head massages you get when visiting your hairdresser. Complete and utter bliss.

12. Music.

11. kisses. Soft, hard, passionate kind. Any kind really. Enough said.

10. flowers. pretty little buggers they are. have you ever actually looked closely at one? Like really looked deep into their beings. they more than one dementional, there are so many precious things that make it up.

9. clouds. drifting above gossamer clouds. how fluffy they are, cotton candy like, you just want to dive right in on Aladdins magic carpet and whip them into soft serve peaks.

8. sunrises and sunsets. gosh there is something undeniably beautiful about watching the sun make it's descent and ascent to and from the horizon. Michaela from Michalea Jean said it perfectly. No matter where you are in the world, this is always a constant. The sun looks the same no matter where you are.

7. The night sky. The stars, how infinite it is and how miniscule we all are in the grand scheme of things.

6. Puppy cuddles. Or cuddles from any kind of species really (except from spiders and gross crawly things. Frankly, they can keep their love to themselves). Nothing beats those fuzzy feelings you get when those eyes look deep into yours.

5. Books. Possibly a controversial one, I know a few people who don't see the value in them. Seemingly their loss. some people may take a while to warm up to them. I know I did growing up. I loved them until someone pointed out how supposedly uncool they were so I stopped for a bit. but were on good terms now, I even apsire to have several pulished some day. theres something for everybody, they entertain,

4. Chocolate. Because, Nutella. Enough said.

3. Thunder and lightening. the way a single bolt effortlessly lights up the night sky, if only for a second. those flashes of light in the sky and the rumble that follows. it's like a dance of domination, mother nature asserting herself as top of the food chain, reminding us who really is boss in these parts.

2. Travel. those who do noy travel only read the first page. if you've ever travelled then you'll understand this and the importance of visiting far away places. not just the shiny, tourist hot spots but places less travelled.

1. Sleeping in. Especially on a chilly morning. When you're all snug as a bug and deliciously toasty between those sheets. Add a speckling of rain pattering away on the window pain and that right there is heaven. For the past year I've been suffering chronic back pain that loves to rear its ugly head at around 4am. By 6am the pain gets too intense to remain laying down.

Anyone want to add anything else to this list?
