Today is Sunday, except for whatever one day off my hubby has off work, Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I get to sleep in, if I want to, but that never really happens. I actually set my alarm to wake me by 7:45am so I can get my coffee brewed, wash the sleep from my eyes and get ready for my guilty pleasure, a television show called Sunday Morning; this show is a type of news show, but they break things, interesting things, down into segments that actually keep a viewer interested and looking forward to the next interesting segment. They are not so depressing as watching the regular news, but I have found myself spilling a couple of tears now and again as a segment touches my heart or pulled at my heart strings.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid, my parents used to watch it and back then, of course, I never saw the draw of this show; until I was 19 and living on my own and then it became a part of my Sunday routine. I have tried to sit and watch Sunday Morning with friends, it doesn't work, I have tried to lounge in bed and watch it with a lover, but that never worked either. When I met my hubby for the first time, via match.com, we were talking about our favorite television shows and when he mentioned he enjoyed to watch Sunday Morning I knew there was a connection. :) And, back in the day (lol) when he had Sundays off, we would both get up early, make our coffees and maybe some toast and then settle in to enjoy one of our simple pleasures of life. It was a great bonding experience for us, we were never at a loss for something to discuss as the show kept our minds working and giving us the topic(s) of the day, I sooo miss those times.
Another one of my life's simple pleasures is being able to be home to help my daughter with her school work. Not many parents have the opportunity to be home when their kids get home from school, so I truly feel blessed to be able to be here for her. I really like that special quality time with her, as I know one day soon she isn't going to want me around as much. lol
Lastly, for today, another simple pleasure is baking/cooking. I truly love baking and cooking good food for my family. It fills my heart with love to see them enjoying something that I have made for them. I love baking especially, but cooking comfort foods is a close 2nd. My mind is wandering to what I can bake up today...yup, got too many things flying through my head to even give you a clue as to what it will be. lol
I wish you all a wonderful day...filled with your simple pleasures. :)
