Here's mine!

I get up extra early each morning so that I have a few minutes with my husband before he leaves for work.  Rather than waking to an alarm clock, he rubs my back/arm and talks to me until I wake.  The first words I hear most mornings are along the lines of "Hey, Sweetheart" or "Good Morning, Elizabeth".  I cannot think of a sweeter way to wake up! 

Won't you join in?

Simple Pleasures - New Meme

I'd like to start a new theme...Simple Pleasures...but I've never started one before.  I think it would be uplifting to share some of the little things in life that bring a moment or two of joy.  Please post one of your simple pleasures on your blog, then link back to your post here.  Let's spread some warm fuzzies!
Here's mine:

Coffee. Freshly made. Bold. Smooth. Hot.

Each morning, I fill my husband’s thermos for him to take to work. There’s always enough coffee for me to have a cup or two myself. When the coffee is freshly brewed and steaming hot, it is almost like a mini-holiday. I like to add just a little bit of sugar to my first cup of the day, although I usually drink my coffee black. The flavor of the hot, sweet liquid blending with the aromatic steam makes my brain happy for just a few minutes.

So, there you go. Do you have any simple pleasures that make your day better?  Please share!
