I was on the radio today!

I was listening to my favorite radio station, K-Love, which is a national show.  The lunch time dj, Sterling, was talking about the simple things that make us happy.  You know, like fresh sheets and chocolate bars and such things.  I had a thought, so I called the number and.... she picked up!  How exciting!  So I told her the following story.
When I was little, my dad worked as an accountant.  Sometimes he had late nights, and a few of those times my mom would let me stay up late to wait for him to come home.  And on fewer of those nights, he would bring me home a present.  It was never anything big, but small things like french fries from McDonald's, things like that.  Anyway, one night he came home and had forgotten to bring me a special prize. So, he called me over to his desk, opened his briefcase, and brought out a beautiful, never-been-used, sharpened #2 pencil.  I, being a preschooler, had never had a pencil of my own before, let alone a beautifully sharpened one!  My mom let me draw a little that night, then was surprised when I remembered it the next day.  Ever since then, my favorite writing utensil is a freshly sharpened pencil.  I try not to be wasteful, so I don't sharpen my pencils often, but when I do... man alive.  It makes me smile, and think of my Dad, every time.
Do you have a simple pleasure?
