I have to say


that as much as I adore complaining about the weather, there's really nothing quite as lovely as falling asleep to rain pounding on the roof.

If it were a smidge (ok, a lot) warmer outside, I'd crack my window for that sweet smell of nighttime rain. It's just one of those simple pleasures you sometimes forget about until you're in the moment.

It's like like finding money in your pocket.

Or getting the good parking spot.

Or having a good hair day.

Or running into a good friend.

Or catching a rerun of your favorite episode of Friends.

Or surprise morning bagels at work.

Or hearing a song on the radio that you forgot you loved.


I hope you enjoy a few simple pleasures today.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one enjoying the rain last night.

My goal is to move to Oregon someday. I'll do it. It just might take me a few years.

I had this exact same thought! I had a lovely time lying in my bed listening to the rain. So relaxing. This was a great post! Love the simple pleasures in life.

Is that Penny? If not, it eerily looks like her!

I just got the photo off of creativecommons.org. It's not Penny, although it does look a little like her...
