What are a couple of your simple little pleasures in life?

Asked by Sueanne_Tremendous (11290points) November 6th, 2009

Commence with the masturbatory commentary if you must, but what I am really asking about are small things you do, or have, or read, or smoke et cetera that make your life just a little bit better? For me, I have many. But today two of those little pleasures put me in a real nice mood: Sun Bird Egg Drop Soup Mix and the Vlog of RayWilliamJohnson =3 ( sample )

Sun Bird Egg Drop soup is so easy to make, so wonderful to eat and so soothing. RWJ’s =3 is hilarious, although maybe an acquired taste.

Anyway, what are some of your simple pleasures?

btw I am sure this has been asked before but things and people change so don’t bust my chops for asking again. Please?

@RocketSquid

holding a dildo against the side of your nose will make you sneeze (dont ask)

Fresh air. I need a dose of it everyday to stay sane.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Playing with my kitties. They never fail to make me smile. Well… Except when they knock over everything on my nightstand or eat my hair. Umm…

Making cupcakes or other tasty treats.

Finishing a great book.

Logging on to my DeviantArt or Cosplay.com account and seeing a complimentary comment on one of my costumes/artworks.

These things make me happy. :)

Yesterday I was having a really bad pain day but I had an appointment with my prescriber so I had to go out. By the time I got home, I hurt so badly that I couldn’t get out of the car. I sat there for about a half an hour in 40-degree weather, hoping for a lull in the pain or a boost in my desire to get inside. When I finally got back into the house, I went to put my pajamas back on. I’d tossed them by the baseboard heater when I got dressed earlier, so they were all toasty like they’d just come out of the dryer. The pain was still a bitch, but suddenly I was okay with that. It made my day.

waking up in the night and knowing you can roll over and go back to sleep

Coffee. Making stuff. Petting my kitten. (actual kitten)

skfinkel's avatar

One of my very favorite things is getting my own lane in the swimming pool. I get to zone out completely and get all my problems solved while swimming if I don’t have to negotiate around some other person doing laps. I was just lucky enough to get the first 25 laps to myself the other day, and was thinking how very wonderful it was.

Another thing is the great smell of good coffee in the morning. And when it is brought to you in bed, that is another very special delight.

I also love and am grateful to be able to take deep breaths of fresh good smelling air. It makes me happy.

Yet another pleasure is reading a really first rate book, having the time to read it, and not being able to put it down.

Thanks for this question.

Sueanne_Tremendous's avatar

@bagelface : Either type of kitten petting is a simple pleasure in my book.

dpworkin's avatar

Actually, I used to get a shave once in a while at a barbershop in Little Italy. Now, that was quite an indulgence. I’m afraid those days are gone. I’m old!

Courtybean's avatar

Sitting on the shower floor with the water running.
Hot, clean, crisp sheets out of the dryer and put onto your bed.
The first page in a new notebook or writing pad.
The smell of jasmine flowers.

Cuddling, laughing, candy corn, my favorite blanket. Observing my sheep. They are so funny and weird and cute. I love just looking at them.

SolitaryMan's avatar

deni: Do you ever count your sheep and does it make you sleepy?

deni's avatar

@SolitaryMan I don’t, because there is only 6 or 7 of them. But if there were a sufficient number I would…for you

I’m addicted too! But like, in all honesty, I really do feel I’ve become addicted to it. I had this conversation with someone recently…people who don’t use chapstick don’t need us…but those of us who have started….can’t seem to stop!!!

Kicking off shoes and socks upon arrival home is an undersung pleasure.

My simple pleasures consist of playing with my dog , watching my soap (All MY Children) , eating ice cream , and soaking in the hot tub with a cold drink.
