The simple things

Do you ever get struck by something really simple that you encounter every day, but for some reason seems miraculous all of a sudden?

Like when you're really thirsty and when you finally get a drink, water is the most delicious thing you've ever tasted . . .

. . . Or when you're cold and then first blast of hot air from the car heater hits you and makes you shiver all over . . .

. . . Or feeling clean and fresh after you've taken a shower . . .

. . . Or the smell of apples when you walk through the produce section at the grocery . . .

. . . Or when you realize there isn't any background noise and you revel in the silence that's so rare when you live in a big city . . .

Sometimes it just hits me that it really is the simple things in life.
