African Violets. I love to grow them and watch them bloom in amazing colors.
In the summer, a root-beer float in a frosty mug. In the winter, hot chocolate with lots of mini-marshmallows.
Sitting on my front porch watching the hummers flit from flower to flower. At night, listening to the spring peepers' chorus while rocking in the hammock.
Playing with my kitties and puppies until we're all happily exhausted.
Relaxing in the whirlpool tub scented with lavender, with soft candlelight glowing around and jazz playing in the background.

Sure - I take in crippled plants and nurse them back to health.Christy said:Well you need to come rescue my poor african violets, at least the one that is still living.I have managed to kill them all.
(exept for one that's holding on for dear life)
I used to have about two dozen
but I managed to neglect them because of my schedule the last few years until only two were left. I'm back up to about 6 and maintaining them. 
Still waiting for hubby to build me shelves in our atrium area so I can have as many as I want. 
Having my feet rubbed is simply heaven for me. In the good ol' days, I could cry from the joy of having a tub drawn, candles lit, Bocelli played, my hair washed, my feet rubbed then left alone to rest...
Now I have my girls and their mannerisms that give me joy and the simple things I share with my friends.

Life is loaded with simple pleasures. I don't know where to start. The most recent is my neighbors cat. He's a dumpster kitty, rescued on a cold, wet day. He has always been kind of shy and runs when you walk toward him. I'm taking care of the neighbors cats this week. The first afternoon, he greeted me at the door and was very happy to see me. He wasn't interested in his food dish at all, he just wanted attention. The simple pleasure was the "head butt", you know when the cat nudges you with his head.
You meant to say "the cat showed up, I twisted off his innocent little head, and threw him in my cauldron.
