A warm breeze through open windows, wind chimes tinkling in the stirring breeze, the smell and sound of steaks sizzling on the grill (oh, how I love cooking out), a palm
tree thrust into the bright blue sky, a really good book, blanket and pillow on the
lawn while absorbing the sun, a brief nap in its warmth, and writing a few more pages
of that novel while sipping starbucks iced coffee.

Simple pleasures provide their own contentment.
