simple pleasures

I've realized lately that it is the simple things that make me happy and help me get through the long days and weeks. Things like phone calls and emails from far away friends, sitting out in the sunshine, evening walks,
and driving with the windows down. 

I'm ending my day today with peppermint tea 

and {possibly} my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird. 

I have a million other things to do, but sometimes you just need a break. 

And when it comes to simple pleasures, I don't think it gets much better than this.
