Time for something completely different!
Whatever we do in life, our professional lives – family lives – social networks – we somehow all need and value those, somewhat simple pleasures. Yes, the small things that are for free or come close to very little.
A little trick I like to use to make my days much more pleasant is to find little, simple pleasures and sprinkle them throughout my day. Below is a list of 55 that in their own way contribute to brightening your day. Obviously, we all have our own 'delights' so let us know yours!!!!
