You can only enjoy the simple things when you learn that EVERYTHING is BS and you just need to go with the flow...
If you are in a panic every moment because you can't stop worrying about work, family, terriorism, the environment, your bills... EVERYTHING... Then you can't just kick back and find satisfaction just looking out over the horizon.
Enjoying the simple things was easy for me because I grew up in Arizona where I had the chance to go out in the middle of no where and learn to enjoy the peace of nature...
My fave activity was to go to the end of Pacos Road in Phx. and watch the falling stars and listen to the coyoties...
Just the sounds of nature... Just the sites of nature...
You can't enjoy the simple things unless you learn to relax.

It's easier to do than you think. First, awareness. Be aware of what simple things actually bring you pleasure every day. Like the old coffee commercial "the best part of waking up is Foldiers in your cup" (cheesy, but true).
-The taste of coffee in the morning
-Hot showers
-New shoes
-A pet thats always happy to see you
-A friend that calls you on the phone
-A favorite movie coming on tv
-Always having hot food to eat and a bed to sleep in
Noticing these things as the day goes by is one step.
Then take the time to enjoy them. Slow down when they're happening and pay attention to the feeling. People do this instinctively in spring after a long winter. The first sunny warm day feels so much better than a day in the fall of the same temperature because everyone really focuses on it and Feels the sun.
Third step; hunt out more moments that perhaps you didn't think of or haven't done in awhile. One of the times I am happiest is when I'm walking down the street and my (5 yr old)son slips his hand in mine.
If that was gone no money or career success or amount of popularity could get it back.
That is enjoying the simple things.

I enjoy the simple things in life by, being me not worrying and wanting to be somone else,and NOT making everything SOO complex and dramatic..it seems like the world is in drama central..so take time to stop and smell the roses and do a bunch of other simple things..cuz if you make your life complex..you will miss all the simple things in life that it has to offer you..LIKE BE YOURSELF! thats always a great option

Put all the JUNK, Diversions & Communicators AWAY- & walk Outside to a nice, quiet spot...-Sit down, & LISTEN. And I mean, "L-I-S-T-E-N..." To whatever SOUNDS you hear- birds, the wind, a distant lawnmower- WHATEVER. Just put yourself in TOUCH with your Surroundings, your Thoughts & your feelings... -& REALISE- that the CLOSER you are to THESE simple sounds & sensations- the RICHER your Life is GOING to be... Because ULTIMATELY- this is Pretty much ALL there is.... :)
