A Year of Pleasures . . . Come and Gone

Let me start by saying that yes, 2010 was definitely a "year of pleasures." I started this blog because I was inspired by Elizabeth Bergto pay attention to those little pleasures in life that we sometimes rush by and don't savor as much as we can. For me, those little pleasures are what carry me through less savory days.

Of course, the paradox is that the more time you spend savoring the little pleasures of life, the less time you have to formally catalog them and share them with others. Hence, while the goal of learning to appreciate my pleasures was wildly successful, this blog was not. So I'll leave it where it lies, and think of it fondly as a good seed that never blossomed, and turn my attention to my "regular" blog, Textile Traveler.

But the practice of noting and savoring the little pleasures in life lives on, and isn't that really the point?

And what did you find pleasurable today?
