Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being ! 24/06/15

Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures in life that can absolutely make your day. Just to see your dog wagging his tail for no other reason than he loves you ! No queue when you go to get coffee. All green lights when you are in a hurry.Sometimes it doesn’t take much, just a hug ! or a wink from a stranger.

Or just to come down to Manly to embrace the day !

 

Tell me your simple pleasures guys??

For Ed it was just making it down here !

 

 

Totally rugged up Jane just love the pleasures of her grand children the most !

And a bargain at Aldi on the way home !

 

For others its the simple pleasure a photo bomb will do it !

 

For Brad & Lucy the simple pleasure of being able to swim together.

Les-bubbles just loves the company of friends & making lovely winter videos.

Quote from Lainey Loo ! “Shows the fun, camaraderie, warmth and boldness of this amazing swim group”

Come down & joins us !! you’ll be glad you did, it may change your life (it did mine)

Sometimes obstacles in life build character. You have to be able to overcome adversity in order to succeed and appreciate the simple things life has to offer

 

For Nick its getting that great shot underwater & supporting his gal !

Henrietta telling someone about  Staying safe ! I heard her saying…
“Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits.  Also, if you have a bit more experience, keep an eye out for new swimmers who might need company. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.

 

Louise Stacey is a Local teacher and just loves her little students.

I’m sure she deriving a lot of pleasure just watching them grow up.

Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse, he struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter and he walked out.— Frank Abagnale Jr. after he was asked to say grace

 

For Dorset, his simple pleasure is probably thinking about the grandkids overseas

 

For Ed his simple pleasure was just coming down ! sometimes it doesn’t take much.

 

 

This is just not one of those pleasures ! JK’s butt & Shaun having a perve !

What was he thinking ?

 

For Errol it would be getting his hoodie back !

he is missing it ! must have been picked up by mistake 😉

Has someone got Errol’s hoodie ? ? ? ? ?

 

A great pleasure is sitting in the sun  with a coffee before getting off to the daily grind.

 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

My simple pleasure today was a reheated Pad Thai from last night while I wrote the blog …Yum !

What will be yours today ? ? ?

your comments are welcomed below…Tell what simple pleasure you enjoy ? ? ?

    My simple pleasures today:
    1) seeing Ed and Massey (dog)and hearing that he is doing much better than the medicos expected. Maybe its ‘the power of love’ and all the support incl from the B&B
    2)Bob Petterson aka quiet achiever or #9 reaching 1500kms swum today. Congrats to another unsung hero
    3)Jamie joins and so the B&B family grows
    4) coffee, sun, chats, laughter, concern ie our community in full swing
    No better way to start the day!

    Its a lucrative trade – snatch them, the more badges the better and then seek payment from the owner for return. The more badges = the greater the sentimental attachment and hence potential payout !

    Great blog Shelley, so good to see Ed and his trusty companion, I’m sure that dog has brought light & happiness into Ed’s life during the hard times. Simple pleasures are so important, my little poodles were such great little nurses when I needed them. Xx
