Simple pleasures enjoyed in moderation

A whole host of things may come to mind when pondering simple pleasures enjoyed in moderation. Eating chips on the pier is only one possibility. Naturally, we all get to define what is meant by ‘moderation’ as each of us has our own ideas about such things.

Right now, putting down the snack, I’ll limit the list of simple pleasures enjoyed in moderation to just two.

The first of the two simple pleasures enjoyed in moderation is that of spending quality time in the company of people we feel totally at ease with and who, in their turn, feel equally comfortable with us. This is something so basic yet overlooked perhaps over the year as goal chasing and the like occupy our attention.

We might say we are working for these people and are busy for their sake but, without actually spending time in their company, our efforts possibly appear hollow at best. Giving them our time is probably more appreciated than any tangible objects offered to them as substitutes for our actual presence.

The second item on the list of simple pleasures enjoyed in moderation is that of getting outside to embrace nature in whatever format is most appealing to us. This could be a walk, a run, a cycle ride or any other form imaginable. The advantages of ‘blowing away the cobwebs’ will be felt immediately and can last for ages.
