The Simple Pleasures of Life

That in my book would be:

1. Sipping a cold, cold beer while watching the sun set into the horizon. It can set behind mountains or the seaside - I don't mind either.
2. Soaking my feet in the sea on a sandy beach, in front of my beachside home.
3. Watching my dog (make that a Jack Russell!) running along the sandy shores of the beach.
4. Listening to Wanda Sa or Carol Kidd in a comfortable couch, sipping my wine and nibbling on Gorgonzola cheese.
5. Reading my book in a shady corner of the house, as the shadows of leaves dances on my window curtains
6. Reading letters from loved ones
7. Hearing my feet crunch on gravel at the Jardin du Luxembourgh
8. Sitting in front of a statue housed at the Lourve and gazing away
9. Stroking someone's head on my lap.
10. Owning a home by the sea, with the mountains behind it, and a horse parked next to my Mini Cooper (ok, this is stretching it!)

Ok, almost all of the above I did attempt. You can guess which ones haven't come to pass yet. :P
