Simple pleasures
Mornings are the best. A hot shower, liquid sunshine. A warm hug from the universe. From 1968 when I broke my neck, until 1983 when I moved into a wheelchair accessible room in Owen Graduate Center, at Michigan State University I lived without an accessible bath or shower. Consequently, most days I washed up in a basin with a pitcher of hot water. I showered once a week at most. Now I have a beautiful accessible home, with a roll in shower that is almost as large as my entire room was in the Graduate Center. Each morning when the hot water hits the back of my neck and cascades down my shoulders, I know everything will be OK. Its all good.
What's your favorite simple pleasure?

My morning coffee with the Free Press. From about 5:45 to 6:30 a.m. I lay back in an easy chair reading the editorial page first, then local news, the comics and sports, and drink a couple of cups of black coffee. Then, the day may commence!

Stargazing on an endless summer night. During those rare nights, when time seems to slow down and the heat of the day has retreated, I get a chance to stare up at the night sky for hours. It's amazing to know that in the massive universe, with billions of stars and planets, there's still a small place for me.
