Simple Pleasures

The rain is splashing all around me. The air is cool and crisp and my mind is clear. Oh how I love the smell of a rainy day. Everything smells so clean and fresh.<br />
<br />
As I look around I can see the birds playing in the puddles of water on the ground. Back and forth they go, splashing and diving at one another. How innocent they are. Life is so simple for them. Maybe I should stop and breathe... really take in all that is around me and see how wonderful life can be in its simplest form. No more drama about things that I cannot change. No more deadlines that my life depends on. No more extravagance, but instead, I will enjoy the simple pleasures that God has provided all around me.<br />
<br />
A rainbow is a gift of vibrant color bursting from one side of the earth to the other in such a magnificent ark. It&#39;s as if God took his paint brush and swooped it across the sky to give us the most fantastic array of color to brighten our day after the storms of life.<br />
<br />
Wild flowers with hues of reds, yellows, violets, blues, oranges and pinks scattered about in a meadow of green grass. When there is a gentle breeze the grass and flowers sway back and forth as if in a ballet. You can almost hear the music they dance to, as there motion is so delicate and full of beauty.<br />
<br />
There are children in the distance playing with one another. I can hear their laughter as they run and jump, chasing each other all around. There smiles warm my heart. There laughter brings me new life. To be a child again, how wonderful it would be to see everything as if it were for the first time. The curiosity of a child is never ending. Everything is an adventure. There is no need for toys or any other distraction because a child&rsquo;s imagination creates a wonderful world all of its own.<br />
<br />
There is a lake in the distance. As the sun shines down on it, it bursts with shimmery light. It is as if you are looking at diamonds that sparkle like the sun, on the surface of the water. I can see the occasional fish jump high in the sky only to plummet back into the deep blue water once again. The lake is full of fish and around it the wild life abounds.<br />
<br />
So take the time to slow down, breathe the fresh air, smile at the silly things you or someone else does and enjoys your life in a more simplistic way.<br />

For me a Simple Pleasure is holding a woman in my arms, feeling her breathe & smelling her scent & listening to music.

Scumbag9876, thank you for your honest opinion. The stories I write are not for everyone for sure. I appreciate the fact you took time to read them at all.

The guys on this site,as well as Founder, have been very kind indulging me with my little stories.

As for you, this is a wonderful site with a lot of great information about the clubs so I'm sure you will find what you are looking for here.

Maddog, thank you for coming to my defense, but it doesnt offend me at all for someone to state there opinion.

Point well made Christal; you exude class as always.....Just wish others, even with dissenting opinions could do so with some degree of class....

IMO, you should never stop writing....you're genuinely soooo good at it....

Ok boys, that's enough. Just think about what is going on here, making little jabs at one another will get you nowhere except for becoming frustrated and wasting a lot of energy that could be used for something positive. There have been several men that have left this site because of this type of stuff. It's not worth it guys.

I'm sure both of you are wonderful guy with fantastic personalities, but as we all know some personalities clash. Please except the fact that you have a different view on things and realize that doesnt make either one of you wrong. It's the new year after all. Let's start over with a more positive way of thinking, OK

I hope I haven't added gas to the fire :-/

This is just a outlet she uses for a Passion she has. You don't have to read. But what a read they are. Where should this be shared? She also writes for a online magazine. I believe she has shared that link. I hoping for more stories SOON!!!
