What makes you happy?

List random everyday (or any other) things that make you happy!


- chess, not online though, proper set, possibly wood
- finding out something new about a person no longer alive (a habit, their favorite Beatle, or a curse word, anything really)
- anything by Miyazaki
- empty ski tracks on bright early mornings
- finding an album whose every track you adore (happened only couple of times in my entire life)
- a good friend, calling after midnight to see if I'm up for a walk
- attempting to invent my own minimalistic symbols for a potential tattoo, this is something I'm stuck with forever, I also can't really draw, gives me pleasure still
- trains and train stations
- serious folk wearing unserious socks

spider webs on a frosty morning..
brightly coloured socks..
small children..
baby snails..
books..

freshly vacuumed carpet..
freshly washed brushed cotton duvet cover..
a dew drop glistening on the end of a blade of grass..
managing a whole conversation without wanting to bash myself over the head with cacti..

poetry..

(:

Music
Iced coffee
Riding the trains whilst listening to Boards of Canada
The "impossible burger" @Kuma's
My cat, dog, & leopard gecko
Mint stouts

Little kids with fresh eyes
Old people with wisdom
Some bit of writing that says it just right
Music that evokes emotion from me
Early early morning
The sound of my doves cooing
Anything that causes me to genuinely laugh
A stretch of time in which I can choose to do anything I want
My children
Good work
The smell of my dogs
Little bits of discrete caring that I glimpse between people
Clothes/bedding fresh off the line having hung in the sun
Cheesecake

Potato chips. Or tortilla. Or cassava, Or anything as long it is crunchy chips.
