So I recently experienced a beautiful morning. Full of a heap of simple pleasures that when bundled together made for one of those moments where you can’t help but stop and go, “Yup…life is good, I’m so thankful!” I even documented the moment with a picture. So let me set the stage:
Slept in until 8:30 (Pleasure 1) and Kate was still sleeping (Pleasure 2). I walked into my kitchen and gave a happy sigh at my clean counter and sink, which I’d MADE myself clean before bed (Pleasure 3). I made a pot of coffee that was JUST the right amount of water to coffee and managed to also add in the perfect amount of delicious vanilla creamer to my cup-o-joe, not to little, not to much (Pleasure 4). I sat down at my kitchen table and observed the perfect stack of three (count ‘um THREE) brand new Rachael Ray cookbooks that I got for my birthday (pleasure 5) and I spent the next few moments thumbing through them and sipping my coffee and planning what brand new meal I wanna surprise David with when he comes home from being out of town (Pleasure 6).
Loved the silence, the morning light spilling in the window, loved the smell of coffee and just the stillness of the lovely, un-expected moment.

I hope you all find your un-expected moment of simple loveliness. They might not last long (mine only lasted about 15 minutes until my girl woke for the day), but it’s beautifully refreshing!
