"I BELIEVE IN PINK! I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every night, friends. You have done what you could. Let it go.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simply Pink Simple Pleasures


Ah, a day off...A morning to sleep in, to be able to awaken when one does, and not when one has to...is anything sweeter? I have no real plans, at least not until 3:00pm when I suspect that my daughter will talk me into accompanying her to a Dr. appointment. So I begin by starting the coffee maker. All I had to do was hit the button because my DH prepared the pot before he left for work and let me know prior to leaving. "just push the button when you get up" he whispered..."OK...I mumbled back...then..".oh! can you bring me my yellow pill?"...A while later he did...I wondered what took so long...he had spilled the case labeled with the days of the week and had to try to gather them all up again and put them back in...oy..."hope you got 'em all", I mumbled, "Lily doesn't need to be eating my meds"...That's Lily over there on the right. Isn't she cute?

Anyway...back to those simple pleasures...a day away from work is a biggie right now, largely because although I do enjoy my work, the atmosphere there right now is quite toxic in a big way. Not due to the work, oh no, never that, but...I do not want to take away from my simple pleasure here, so...that will remain for another day...I will just say that this day being on my mind yesterday, kept me in a good frame of mind throughout a very busy day yesterday and said frame of mind may have caused a little resentment and contention...enough said!

When I have a day off coming it begins for me the evening before...I feel the freedom to be able to stay up late to finish a good book if I wish, which I did, or finish watching a baseball game, which I did also...

Reading is a big simple pleasure for me. I just love to read! Suggestions always welcome...

I have to say that I consider this lovely pink laptop to be a simple pleasure. I have my routine with it...I check my personal email, then any links from there, such as VN or Simply Pink, or Face Book...Then I check in on my work email...and on it goes. It can take quite a while...but I enjoy it.

My music, Craig Chaquico again, is a pleasure...He is playing in the background...as I type.

The simple act of being able to drink a cup of coffee at my leisure, you remember the above mentioned button, I did finally push it...and do the other things I mentioned at the same time...

I have a feeling that this is a topic that I will be revisiting quite a bit because as I get older I have come to realize that these moments in time that offer these pleasures are the ones that make up the whole of a mostly happy and satisfying life...

I would love to hear from some of you about your simple pleasures!

Thanks for reading and Stay Pink!

Simply, Pinkim

  1. Kim, I was reading in '14,000 things to be happy about' and found a list of the colors in a box or 64 Crayola crayons. Doesn't 'thistle' and 'cornflower blue' and 'periwinkle' sound so pretty? I know you love pink so maybe another time I'll list some pink color names.....
