Simple Pleasures

Today I read the obituary of a man who died young, at age 44.  His name was Johnny. I was struck by the simplicity of how Johnny apparently lived his life.
The write-up said he was employed by a baking company for many years. It went on to say he enjoyed going to the creek in the summer, spending time with his family, and watching "Storage Wars" on TV.
Now I don't mean to imply there's anything wrong with a person who spends their life trying to change the world, but personally, I seem to be more impressed on average with people like Johnny. Of all the potential things his family might have mentioned in the brief summation of their departed loved one's life, they chose to honor him by mentioning that among all the things Johnny enjoyed, he just liked going down to the creek in the summer.
I don't know how you can not have an appreciation for a guy like that.
Thank goodness for people like Colin Powell, Mother Theresa, and Donald Trump, but if push comes to shove, I think I would just like to be more like Johnny.
