This morning was not unlike most Saturdays. I woke up with a spectacular view of the morning sunrise shining on our mountains here in the desert. No two mornings are alike here in Palm Springs. After letting the beasts outside to relieve themselves, I brewed a pot of organic coffee and settled down with my laptop to write the Saturday Seven. It occurred to me how happy I am, fortunate and blessed in many ways. By most measures I have lived a charmed life, but not every step has been as good as it is today. And who knows what tomorrow brings, not even the great Dr Wang can foresee that. This being said, what's important is to always have an appreciation for the things in life that can bring joy, regardless of the material things that we possess. And so, this brings us to another scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Simple Pleasures 
#1: Morning Sunrise- it is one of the most beautiful sights to see, free for all, everyday.
#2 Smelling the Roses- Forgive me for being cliche, but to be honest for me, this is one of the rules I strictly live by. I ALWAYS stop and smell fresh flowers, particularly roses when I pass by. No matter how busy I am, there is always time to appreciate this gift from our plant's soil.
#3 Smiles- It's amazing how something as simple as a smile can completely change a person's mood and attitude. They don't cost anything (usually) and they are catchy too!
#4 Bird Watching- Birds are amazing critters to watch. Stop, slow down and take some time to see what they do all day. You'll be amazed, and it may even relax you a bit.
#5 A Nice Cup of Cawfee- Among life's simple pleasures and affordable if you make it yourself!
#6 Fluffy Pillows- need I say anymore?
#7 Ice Cream- C'mon, you didn't think I could have a list like this without something chocolate do you?
