I find it hard to beat a nice cold one with some good tunes.

An interesting or fun movie on tv, a phone call from friends or family, my ebay stuff in the mailbox, new-to-me books found cheap somewhere, plants blooming for me, stew or soup simmering away, sunshine(which I haven’t seen in days), freshly washed sheets on my superbed, and 1000 other things.

Coming home to my cozy little house in the woods.

After a long day of work, or running around, or whatever, I love coming in, greeting the pets, ripping my clothes off asap and putting on something comfy.

Home is where the heart is. ;-)

My baby girl and when someone I love very much’s name pops up on my caller I.D., like my mom or a few great friends. I immediately become happier just seeing their name there. :)

When a friend stops by, when I come home and my dog dances with craziness, when I found a 50 dollar bill stashed in my underwear secret place that I had forgotten about.

When my husband reaches out in his sleep to have me curl up in his arms. Twenty-nine years and it still makes me happy to know he thinks of me even when he’s asleep.

Quiet times with a glass of wine.
Watching the snow fall and a glass of wine.
Snuggling with husband and a glass of wine.
A glass of wine than another glass of wine.
Thank you for asking, I think I’ll pour a glass of wine.

@Kardamom

Yes! I drag my big guy ‘Marley’ up to my pillow at night and half cover him up, he purrs & purrs, love dem kitties.

Kardamom's avatar

@Coloma plus kitties smell nice too, in the same way that babies heads smell good.

faye's avatar

And what @AmWiser said! I actually had a chuckle! and I’m having a cranky hermit day. I probably need some wine.

Coloma's avatar

I might have to have some wine too, damn cats won’t come in for bed yet. lol

I feel a great happiness along with huge satisfaction When I help some one, living for only myself is not the purpose of my life.

My boyfriend sends me sweet messages every so often. That always makes me smile.

My dogs make me happy.

Knowing that when I leave work of an evening I have the rest of the evening to myself rather than having to go somewhere else or work overtime. Before Christmas my diary was pretty much full every evening and so by the time I got home it was time to go to bed. Recently I have been trying to keep at least two evenings a week free.

chyna's avatar

Just saw the baby panda that is in the Atlanta zoo. I’m sitting here grinning like an idiot at how sweet she is. So I guess my answer is baby animals, all baby animals.

STARBUCKS!!! =D

Kardamom's avatar

Planter’s Peanut Bars that I found at CVS today! I love those more than any candy bar in the world. I haven’t seen one in about 10 years, but then there they were at CVS. The clerk said that CVS was an Eastern (United States) company and they’ve always had them in the East (the clerk loves them too). I told him that I hadn’t eaten one in years and was thrilled that they now decided to bring them back to the West. Yea!

My dogs when they are enjoying a run out on the moors with me.
My dogs when they wag their tails off greeting me.
My dogs when they snuggle up in bed with me.

My dogs…......

notabridesmaid's avatar

The way my dog (not the one in the pic) comes running up to me when I get home wagging her tail so hard her whole body moves. It’s so cute. Makes my day.

partyparty's avatar

aprilsimnel's avatar

No, not mine, it’s a photo of a toddler girl named Ilona from an AP wire story yesterday about all the snow that’s been happening. I saw it posted on Jezebel, where much exploding of ovaries ensued in the comments section.
