make a list of simple pleasures

When I’ve finished spreading something onto my piece of toast I put the knife into my mouth and withdraw it very slowly taking care to remove everything. I find that I seem to close my eyes and absorb myself in that moment.

Sometimes when I’m really aware of myself and am able to stand back and sort of watch myself doing something I notice some of my habits. I want to list some of these habits because they go unrecognised and deserve some consideration. Why? Because they give me something that makes life worth living. These tiny little moments that lubricate the grind of the daily toil.
