Some things that make me feel happy
I can name quite a few
The chill of a crisp autumn morning
A bowl of steaming hot stew.
The stars that twinkle so brightly,
Going for a swim in the sea
Having a laugh with my family
Drinking a huge mug of tea!
The gorgeous scent of yellow roses
Snuggling up in my bed
Showing off a new hairstyle
Discussing a good book that I’ve read.
Getting a kiss from my daughter
A beautiful sunny, hot day
Soaking in a bath full of bubbles
Bidding for things on eBay!
Cuddling up with my husband
Writing posts for my blog
Hearing my favourite music
Getting welcomed home by the dog
All of these pleasures are simple
But each means the world to me
It’s true what the old proverb tells us
The best things in life are free!

Perfect–love this poem! Simple pleasures are best! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
