Quickwrite of the Day #70: What makes you feel like royalty?

“Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p.24)

Today’s Quickwrite:

The simple pleasures in life make us pause in gratitude, lift our mood and make our days feel that little bit brighter. These things --like the smell of freshly baked bread, listening to the pitter-patter of rain and feeling a cool breeze on a hot day --can sometimes make us feel like royalty! 

With this in mind,  what simple pleasure makes you feel like royalty? What does it:

• Look like? 

• Feel like? 

• Smell like? 

• Sound like? 

• Taste like?

Here are some more possibilities:

• Frothy hot chocolate

• Stretching out your muscles as you climb into bed

• The first glint of sunlight on a cloudy day

• Sleeping in

• The sound of silence after a noisy day

• Walking barefoot on soft grass 

• The sound of a beautiful piece of music

• Your eyes drinking in a beautiful artwork
