What makes you happy?

Money. Money is good…

Hot lesbians.

Nacho cheese Doritos and Philly cream cheese. They are awesome when mixed together.

Mountain Dew
Online shopping
Little baby bunnies in my yard
Playing Cribbage with an opponent who is good enough they might beat me, but plays with a casual attitude, because conversation and shared time are important too.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…

Yes, it probably is nature and animals quite a bit. Basic needs fulfilled (water, food, a hot bath, a cool shower, sleep, rest, connection) is another important one.

More “elaborate” pleasures:

listening to live concerts

finding a book to really get lost in

alone time when I need it

playing in deep snow

surprising people with a lovely present

mastering a new skill

wrestling with my husband

turbulence on airplanes

thunderstorms/torrential rain

getting chores done in the morning

watching a fire

training dogs

seeing wildlife

being teased in a nice way

good comic books

bear hugs

^What pleasure you get from “turbulence on airplanes”?~

Invading Uranus.

@imrainmaker It’s exciting! I can see how it might get scary, but so far I’ve enjoyed it.

Pushing myself to the limit.
Going into the red zone.
Taking big chances.
Striving for excellence.

Animals and children.

Seeing birds light on tree limbs right outside my office window, being near water at the beach, seeing mountains, when my dog comes over and puts her head in my lap asking for petting, laughing with my husband, spending time with my siblings and other family. So many things.

Dogs.

Hogs.

Frogs.

Clogs.

Peaceable individuals.

They don’t need to be friendly or amiable; neutral is fine. Someone peaceable is nonconfrontational, inoffensive, and nonaggressive, getting along and avoiding all unneeded hostility. Such people make the world a better place, simply by not making it any worse.

Beautiful girls make me happy, too!

^Good:)

Books. Don’t know what I’d do without them.

Being outdoors. I feel more at peace out in the forest than I do anywhere else.

I’m not as solitary as that makes me sound, though. I still need to be around peeps sometimes to be happy :)

^^^ yeah, that stuff too.

A ‘new’ book I can’t wait to start reading.
Pouncing kittens.
Signs of fall, glorious fall like seeing a chipmunk or my dog coming inside with a red or yellow leaf on her back. You can have summer.
A clean house.
A rare snowflake (the kind that float from the sky)

Younger women, older whisky, faster horses, and more money.

People who smile and are friendly.

^Seems trivial, but that’s actually a big deal.

Lingering over a wonderful meal with friends

Reading a good book, and drinking Earl Grey tea on a rainy day

The smells of campfires, grapefruit, pine trees, cinnamon rolls baking, cardamom, pizza baking, pumpkin pie, hose water on a hot sidewalk, cedar wood, Earl Grey tea, coffee, garlic bread, cat tummies

Jingle bells tinkling

Bagpipe music

Watching re-runs of The Nanny
