Natural Highs

In our busy, busy culture we often hurry along and miss some of life's best moments. I encourage you to indulge yourself one of the simple pleasures from the following list this week. And then be thankful you have the five senses to enjoy it.

Laughing so hard your face hurts
Taking a drive on a pretty road
Hot towels fresh out of the dryer
Chocolate milkshake (or vanilla or strawberry)
A long distance phone call
A good conversation
Laughing at an inside joke
Making new friends
Spending time with old friends
Swinging on swings
Playing with a kitten or puppy
Holding hands with someone you care about
Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired present from you
Watching the sunrise
Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

-- Psalm 118:24
