Life's Pleasures

In times such as we are experiencing worldwide at present, it is sometimes easy to forget that there are many simple pleasures in life which are totally free and can impart more joy than the costly treasures we crave.

To watch dolphins at play
To hear a child's laughter
To catch the exquisite perfume of the first jasmine of spring
To touch a kitten's soft fur
To view with wonder the vast array of stars on a clear night
These are some of life's greatest pleasures.
