It was Oscar Wilde who once remarked:
"I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex"Often, we all get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. It's all to easy to scroll through the twitter feed of someone like Kim Kardashian and believe we can never be happy unless we have all the fame, houses, clothes, assistants, holidays and money that they have. As a result, we spend our lives endlessly desiring more-and-more possessions and status...yet we never seem to be able to be happy.

That's where simple pleasures come in. Enjoying these 'simple pleasures', from a cup of tea and a good magazine or a long relaxing bath to going on a long, peaceful walk or spending time with someone you love, is the real key to happiness.
So I challenge you to remember that enjoying the little things is the secret to a happy, fulfilling life filled with joy. Enjoying these simple pleasures costs you next to nothing yet brings priceless happiness and joy. So halt the pursuit of ludicrous wealth, fame, houses and clothes: celebrate the simple things in life.
Here is just a small selection of ideas...
