Simple Pleasures: 3/12 through 4/8/10

Have you been taking seriously the pursuit of Simple Pleasures?

I got side-tracked trying to catch up from the holiday weekend. I'm hopeful that sharing three weeks of #simplepleasures tweets with you with get me refocused.

Here is the transcript of Twitter updates that refer to #simplepleasures for the period 3/12 through 4/8/2010. The process of reading through these updates is in itself a simple pleasure, capturing marvelous simple moments and images that bring pleasure.

They refocus me. Is it the same for you?

Which is your favorite?

My latest #simplepleasures update didn't make it onto the transcript:

CBWhittemore: Intense sunshine this week means skunk cabbage now looks like leafy green shag carpet & forsythia = pure sunshine. #simplepleasures

What are your simple pleasures for today and the weekend?

SimplePleasures: 2/26 through 3/11/2010

What makes you appreciate a simple pleasure? I find that the more hectic my schedule, the greater the appreciation I have for a truly simple pleasure. For example, after two hectic weeks of travel, my simple pleasure is being home.

How does it work for you? What are your simple pleasures? How do they vary depending on the complexity of your day?

Check out the #SimplePleasures transcript for February 26 through March 11, 2010 and let me know which resonate the most with you...

I love how truly simple many of these pleasures are and how many are about celebrating small moments that engage the senses.

Enjoy!

PS: Don't forget to Spring Forward this weekend!

Simple Pleasures: 2/19 - 2/25/10

Diva Marketing Toby Bloomberg dubbed me 'diva of simple pleasures' earlier this week. I was so taken with the notion, and with the marvelous simple pleasures that a Twitter search uncovered, that I decided to share #SimplePleasures on Twitter on a daily basis.

I also thought it would be valuable to capture others' simple pleasures and share them with you here on a weekly basis.

My hope is that you'll find them grounding, inspiring, whimsical and heart-warming. And, perhaps, you'll start thinking about the simple pleasures in your life and consider participating in this celebration.

To take part, simply share your simple pleasure and be sure to include #SimplePleasures in your Tweet. If you have any questions, let me know.

Here, then, is the transcript for #SimplePleasures from 2/19 through 2/25/10.

This photo, by the way, was taken in July 2009 from the top of the clock tower of St. Hubert's Chapel on Lake Kinnelon in Smoke Rise. Normally, the clock face occupies this space. Our friend, Tom Kline, removed the clock face to reveal this delicious view and unexpected perspective of the lake and beach. Definitely, a simple pleasure.
