Sometimes it can feel so hard to stay awake to the simple pleasures that sit right in front of us- it’s often much easier to hop onto a new trend, to look outside of our own smarts to dictate what others promise will make us happy and whole. What are simple pleasures? Something that’s not always able to be touched. Sometimes, it’s a scent- other times, it can be a sound-or someone’s kind gesture- but whatever the origin, the results are always the same: a main-line to joy, however momentary. The point: The more awake we are, the more joy we feel-Holidays help us to be awake, but not stay awake-That’s the work. Don’t let the best feelings slip away…Do the work to generate, appreciate and to stay awake to simple pleasures
