NBC Nightly News starting doing this segment a while back where they highlight something positive. It is their way of airing a bright spot amongst all of the bad news they have been delivering of late. It got me thinking of some simple things that can instantly brighten my day. Here are five of my "simple pleasures":
1. Hearing my kids really laugh wholeheartedly about something silly. This will be my only mushy one, I swear.
2. Spontaneously stopping to get ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery, or as Ryan calls it "Stone Cold". He is convinced the wrestler owns it.
3. Getting a fountain soft drink that has crunchy ice, or as my family says "the good ice". If you don't know what I mean, it is the kind of ice that Sonic uses in their drinks and slush's. Awesome.
4. If it is Tuesday or a Wednesday, knowing that a new episode of Rescue Me or Lost will be on that night.
5. Going to bed on freshly cleaned sheets. I would clean my sheets everyday if I had the time. And they must be freshly cleaned, not just different sheets out of the linen closet. There is a difference.
