Life's like that

Sometimes it is the simple pleasures in life that make it worth living. That lovely feeling of satisfaction when you look up at the clock from a hard day at work, and you see there are ten more minutes. The thrill you get when you're looking through your pockets before you dump clothes into the washer, and you discover a $10 note in your pocket (okay, I'm cheap, $10 is a goldmine for me) It's waking up before your alarm clock shrieks, and discovering you have a whole hour left to sleep in the morning. It's a smile from a stranger in the street. It's dropping something, and having someone pick it up for you. It's all those simple pleasures that make life worth living. If only we would look up from our hectic schedules, our packed calendars - all the many prisons we enclose ourselves in and smell those proverbial roses.
