Beside my floats a stainless steel bowl of about 8 inch diameter  

I did not know you were such an accomplished poet Urban. Very nice! All I have left is life's small pleasures so I must treasure each and every one of them.
Shalom

Oh Gosh Urban! You have taken my mind for a walk in the garden full of cherries, I wish I could read this article with my eye closed!
Thanks for giving me this little pleasure.
Yes, I take pleasure in small things just as I have done. I take pleasure even when am a sleep. Holding tight your pillow and assume you are flying to somewhere unknown.

People who dont see the small pleasures in life will not really appreciate the big ones.

My small pleasures are:
Friday, commuting home in the packed trains then knowing the whole weekend is still there and no boring office till Monday morning

Saturday and no alarmclock to interrupt my sleep. Waking up nice cosy and warm, seeing its 9 in the morning and I still can have more sleep if I wish

Smelling a fresh mug of my beloved coffee, especially when I got to work, see the piles of paper on my desk and tell them they can wait another two minutes till I have fetched said coffee.

Preparing meals together with my hubby on weekends, having fun just doing that together,

While commuting to work in trains, very early in the morning, dozing off comfortably knowing my internal clock will wake me up when I have to change trains.

As a diabetic, sometimes, like yesterday, sneaking a piece of normal sugary sweets or two and really enjoying this treat.

seeing one of the many wild birds outside come to the balcony and inspect it for birds food.

an unexpected e mail or better still a snail mail letter from one of my friends.

that was rather beautiful - I never thought of cherries as being so sensuous before. I think it is neat how you are patient enough in eating the fruit to discover its varying properties.
