What are some of the small things in life that you take pleasure in?
-
My goosedown comforter on my bed is like a big marshmallow, and I just loved lying there listening to the rain on the window this morning. But, there's work to be done so I got up to clean the house. More small pleasures to make it bearable -- a cup of steaming hot tea, and Bob Seger on the stereo. Turn the Page is just an awesome tune. When I take time to just appreciate the small pleasures, rather than focusing on the negatives, life is better. I've gone from really glum and somewhat p*ssed off this morning to feeling kind of mellow and content. Just threw in a couple small things -- brief nap, tea and tunes. And, conscious attention to attitude. What small things make you happy?

Answer:
So many small things make me happy... A walk in the woods, on a beautiful day My dog giving me his special look, when it's time for his daily walk My featherbed topped mattress, covered with clean, crisp, wonderful smelling sheets, with my goosedown comforter on top A warm bubble bath Candles A glass of wine at the end of a long day A full moon shining at night Rain Snow Cold weather Birds Flowers, trees, and shrubs blooming in spring Hearing my windchimes blowing in the wind Good music My husband telling me that he loves me Knowing that I really have everything I need

i love my puppy and my birds. also enjoy plants and fixing a good meal and watching the sun set at night
Having the kitty boys fall asleep on their Momma's lap. A hug, or kiss, or smile from my nephews and niece. Rubbing someone else's back and knowing it makes them feel good, getting mine rubbed and feeling my nerves sigh and sing with relief. Best is my goodnight loving before I am sent off to dream land, awakened in the morning to a handsome smile and voice, my SECOND wake up call (because it is SO nice to fall back to sleep for a few together) and the kiss goodbye on his way out the door. Small only in that it's not a grandiose gesture, but something done easy without effort or work, as natural as breathing, and yet as powerful as the song of your heart!

Hi HC! This is the second time I'm going to answer this question-the first,the computer stopped when my answer was almost ready! So many things make me happy,I'm easy to please! :) I'll tell you just a few things that make my day a good one: I wake up very early,at two or three in the morning(night!)and come to the computer to read and write and talk to some friends that seem to never sleep... lol Before that,I spend some time at my bedroom's window,looking at the sky.It's a quiet time,the air is fresh and I feel very well,in peace. Another thing,before writing,is to prepare a nice cup of tea,the first of many I drink all day.It's comforting,for me. In the morning,whenever I can,I like to go for a walk by the sea.It'd beautiful and relaxing. I love when my friends write and one thing that makes me especially happy is to wake up and find an email waiting for me,like this morning.(night!) It's raining a lot here,Southeast Brazil,right now.The rain is another thing that I really love.I usually feel better when it's raining,as much as I appreciate a beautiful sunny day. What else can I say? All the things everybody is mentioning and to see my family and friends healthy and happy.To see them smile and laugh.Nothing can give me more pleasure.Nothing! Nice Sunday! :) Edit Tuesday evening and you have your question still open,so I've decided to tell you one more good thing: I was very tired today after a sad night and decided to take the afternoon off.After a good nap,I took a long and relaxing shower and washed my hair.It is wet now and smells like heaven! What a good sensation!A small thing to do,but how much it helps to improve my mood! :)

Ah, yes, goosedown comforter, I call it my "puff", I do so love that. Rolling over in the morning and seeing my husband's twinkling blue eyes smiling back at me. Making waffles for breakfast. Laughing at my daughter's jokes. Watching the squirrel's in our backyard find nuts I've hidden for them. I could go on and on . . .
