I am not sure what simple joys are- but I would guess they are things like feeling the sand between your toes and sunny days in the forest .

In my case though simple joys means that I have found a way to get maximum laughage with little to no effort on my part.

For example:

I catch the bus to work every morning with some very nice people.

It’s surprising I know them at all because I manage to get to my stop just as the bus gets there- still I am known as ” I wonder how close Anita will cut it this morning. “

So on one day my husband- who gives me a ride to my stop- decided to go down another road to my stop and as I walked up the  street my friends were looking in the opposite direction and I could hear them saying things like ” It looks like she’s going to miss it this time.”

That’s when I threw my head back and tore loose with my best  evil sounding laugh.

A few days later, just by chance I got to my stop early.

When my friends saw me standing there they all thought they were late and came running to the stop from across, down and up the street.

To be honest at that moment I thought they were going to pounce and pull me to pieces for laughing at them the day before, but they didn’t and I got the chance to laugh at them again.

I know.

I’m bad.

Really bad.
