Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for December 10, 2023

“Simple pleasures are last refuge of the complex” after Oscar Wilde.

simple is always good (alas unfortunately they don’t follow that in schools, specially for math classes)

simple pleasures for simple minds.

I’ve found that the key to really enjoying life is to be easily amused.

It’s like starring into the Ocean or a log burning fire…..mesmerizing.

The observation of movement of motes, particles or objects within a fluid medium is not time idly wasted. It is a study of interaction and the interconnectedness of things within their universe.

Sometimes you just need to stop…and watch the swirling glitter! Relaxing!

Paraphrasing Popeye.

In the end, I think we all do, Amanda!

Something wonderful.

I used to stare at my lava lamp. Medications were involved I think.

That’s cool! I’ve never seen one like that. Will have to look it up!

Definitely agree with Older Amanda here. I saw one of those about 5 – 8 years ago. Definitely mesmerizing. Did not buy it at the time and now constantly looking for one.

Now I know the word “whirligig”

I too could watch it for hours.

I bought a tree similar to that but it’s just iridescent

I would be there right with you, just enjoying that little tree! ❤️

Ooooooo…spaarkleeeeeee!

It’s the little things in life… the little things, that make life worth living.
