1. Having a Hair-Cut is amazingly relaxing.
2. Warm-almost-hot water tastes good.
3. I love the feel of the the wind blowing in my face.
4. Eating Potato Chips. Such pleasure!
5. Journaling. It helps to unload everything inside me on paper.
6. One cup of coffee in the morning. Only one not more.
7. The practice of Examen like reflecting on the highs and lows recaptures “moments”.

Number (4)- eating potato chips. I totally agree. My favourite- Cottage Fries, Tomato Flavour. Hard to find these days. Lays also great but so expensive. Kettle Chips – sea salt, also very expensive.
Watching a favourite TV serial- serial of this year so far- Brothers and Sisters (which my husband says is a soap opera but haha he watches it with me!)

Sivin,
I love these suggestions. We have made life so complicated and have been so distracted by the consumer culture that constantly tells us we need more and more to be happy and sane. We forget that it is the simple pleasures of life that keep us relaxed and sane. Blessings on you and your ministry

wow! It’s been a while since I got so many comments for 1 post. And now at least 7, not bad.
Christine – thanks for your blessings and being such a blessing to me with your blog and your ministry too.
Alex – sometimes it’s the simple stuff that’s most pleasurable. I’m sure you have lots too! Based on what I see around your computer
Minishorts – Boo!
Jo-Ann – I listed 7, which as you know opens up for more. And that would include at one point watching the new BattleStar Galatica and movies. Now, it’s back to movies, but a church member recommended Fringe, I might return to Law and Order Criminal Intent season 7.
DB – Looks like I will switch between the more Zen Looking chopstick look, and the Darker sci-fi-ish Vista look. Yes, one coffee mate, two makes the hands shiver!

Karen – thanks for the compliment. Hope to give you feedback later.
RC – Thanks, looks like a simpler plain look is better.
I like the fishes at the side. Whether to show life, or to eat I’ll leave it to the beholder.
Janelle – Imagine an insane Sivin. On the blog, the brushes are cool huh?

The pleasures that keep me sane, in no particular order:
1. Listening to U2 and jamming on my guitar.
2. Train rides – any and all kinds of trains.
3. Writing and journalling; helps me clear my head.
4. Swimming and cycling.
5. Holidays with friends: forests, beaches and busy cities work best.
6. Playing with my dogs.
7. Photography.
