Sometimes the greatest treasures in life are the simple ones: hanging with friends, beautiful sunsets, a smile from a stranger.
Today's Simple Pleasure: Walking into the public bathroom stall to discover the toilet seat lid lifted up. Yes!
I'm not sure why this brought me so much joy. Maybe it's as simple as knowing that the seat had been cleaned and I was free from worry on all the perils that a dirty public bathroom can bring. It's entirely possible that some kind individual with the same appreciation for the "lifted lid" did so when done with their business as an act of kindness for a stranger. It doesn't matter, it's all psychological.
Perhaps it harkens back to man's deep-seeded instinct to journey out into the world in the hopes of discovering something new, pristine, and un-desecrated by man, for the sole purpose of claiming it as his own and then promptly defiling it. Destiny has been fulfilled.
Either way this experience made me feel like I've already won today. Call me Ponce de León.
