Journal Jar Prompt Number 005

Hey! I know I've been posting a lot, but I really am having a lot of fun doing it. This time I got Prompt # 298 on a list of 301. This is what it said: List 14 simple pleasures. Each time you post, write about 1 simple pleasure for at least 5 minutes. That sounds easy enough. Over a series of 14 posts, you guys will get to know me a little bit more, and I'll only have to post about 5 minutes at a time. So here we go.

Simple Pleasure #1: I always take pleasure in nature itself. Examining it's beauty is a very easy yet simple way to enjoy the world around you. I love to explore the woods and creek surrounding my house, draw the wildflowers that are found around my yard and just try to glimpse the creatures that live there. Just the other day I was witness to a doe (a female deer) in my BACKYARD! I was so surprised, yet happy that I got to see such a beautiful sight. The doe disappeared into the woods before I had time to even snap a picture, but that memory of it is forever locked in my mind. I like to use all of my senses that I can when I explore... I use my sense of sight, smell, hearing, and touch. Taste is a rather hard sense to experience when I'm on these outings, but when there is something I know for a fact I can eat; wild crabapples, wild blackberries, and wild white strawberries, I use this sense as well
