Slow Simple Pleasures : an Introduction

In an attempt to find pleasure and contentment in slow, simple things, I've decided to start a meme! Each week I will post about some way that I have enjoyed something simple, and I would love you to join in!

Here are the details:

What: a photo and/or words showing or describing something simple that gave you pleasure, or bought contentment.

Some examples:

picking flowers from the garden

baking a cake

reading a book

listening to music

spending time with a child

a candlelit dinner

remembering to look at the sunset

It's slow, so no rush and no pressure.

You've got two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) to join in.

Remember that it's simple, so no tutorials, no complicated posts please.

A photo or a few words is plenty.

But if you want to say more, then by all means go ahead!

Here's the image to use for Slow Simple Pleasures.

Copy and paste (I'll get a code up soon):

Link in below to your actual post, and let others know if you visit their post.

Don't forget to link back to this blog in your post so that others can join in.

And if you don't have a blog, tell me in the Comments section about your Slow Simple Pleasures!

And me? What was my slow, simple pleasure today?

I spent some time with my camera, a head of pentas and my favourite old linen tablecloth.

Zooming in on a flower makes me slow right down and appreciate the details.

I turned one of the photos into the button for this meme.

And now I'm looking forward to your Slow Simple Pleasures!
