for me, it’s the feeling of a warm cup of coffee in the morning or taking a walk when the weather is just right. those little moments really make the day better!

Taking some really good pics. Or just taking pics in general. And buying books (though my bank balance does not like this as much as I do 🤣).
Coffee — hot or cold doesn’t matter, and petting cats.
Shower or bath. Always refreshing and worth it, even for temporary relief.
Getting a smile back when I smile at someone or give them a compliment 😊
Chocolate 🥰
Watering my plants.
When you click in a usb on first try.
taking walks in cozy weather while listening to music :]
Stretching and yawning 🥱
Sipping hot coffee after eating something spicy. It’s the best
Curling up in my bed when I’m a lil chilly
Out of pants/jeans the second I get home from work.
Taking a big hit off the wax pen when I get home from work, then spend the next hour in my underwear locked to the couch eating cookies.
Getting into bed with fresh shaved legs
Personally I love waking up and seeing my 2 year old comfortably asleep snuggled up with me. Even better if my cat is asleep on the corner of the bed.
Being tired enough to close eyes and bam, asleep
Movies🤷♂️i keep watching them
Being retired, not having to go to a job or having deadlines to meet.
Drinking a can of soda. It has to be cold. I can’t drink it anymore as much as I used too but there’s just something about opening a can of soda and drinking it.
The smell of my infant son’s hair. Powerwashing videos. Cleaning videos. Photos and videos of things fitting perfectly. Good hand writing I like to peep the hand writing subreddit. Freshly washed and hot towels and sheets post a long shower. Bath bombs. Heated socks. Heated blankets. Things being organized. The smell of fresh morning dew or right after a good rain storm. The smell of hay, dirt, leaves and coffee – random I know. Sunsets and sunrises, clear night skies. The smell you get when you were out on a hot summer day just a little too long and it’s like you can smell the summer season on your warm skin.
First morning coffee
As soon as evenings get colder again I absolutely love crawling under a blanket, or even better into a sleeping bag with a giant pot of tea within reach.
Taking a shower after coming home from the beach.
A nice cold Dr Pepper at the end of my work day on Fridays. Makes me look forward to the end of the week without me overdoing the sodas. It’s a small treat.
When someone says thank you if you hold the door open for them. Or someone lets you pull out in busy traffic. Little things other people do to show appreciation go a long way in my book
Good night sleep & waking up next to your favourite person
I hate to say this, because it is a bad habit and it is a very stereotypical answer that I cringe to say. But it would be drinking beer after a long day.
Complements by random people when I feel self conscious about my outfit
When eating a McDonald’s ice cream cone, and towards the bottom of the cone there’s a waffled/grid section. So while eating I’m pushing the ice cream down towards that waffle section and at the end I pop that whole grid section in my mouth and biting into a creamy, tasty chunk of cone and ice cream is the best for savoring.
Walking around at night it’s so much better than the day , may be cause I live in a more rural area but I feel more safe at night than in he day
My Morning Runs
A teaspoon of Jif chocolate peanut butter every day 🤣
Updateme
When it’s raining hard outside and you’re inside, dry, with a hot drink.
Sitting in bed with a cup of tea after a long day ☕️
tomato soup
Dessert!
Taking a walk when the weather is nice is a really good simple pleasure. It almost always feels good.
Another one is taking a nice shower after exercise, it feels refreshing.
Getting a good night’s sleep and waking up feeling refreshed and energized is probably the best one I can think of.
Taking a nap with the window open in the summer
Laying in my jacuzzi tub with a mass of bubbles around me.
Same but cup of tea 🫖
Pizza.
I like pizza, and I want to eat more of it.
basking in the sun. even better when it’s with my dog at the lake, but anytime i’m in a sunbeam i cherish it!
Waking up when my body decides it time to wake up.
I’m retired so I’m not missing or late to work. Ergo, not having to work is also a simple pleasure
Getting a really good pop out of my back
Laughter.
Cinnamon toast
I never get tired of walking down the street and guys staring at me
Cuddles with furbabies. I took a nap the other day and was holding on to my furbaby’s tail (gently, they usually move it away and let it land in my hand again) and we spent the whole nap like that. 🥹🥰
Loving for the sake of loving and nothing more.
The true golden rule.
Reading with nowhere to go but the adventure in the book
Basketball
Coffee in the morning.
A nice meal with a glass of wine.
First snowfall of the season.
Lazy day reading a book.
Hopping into a scolding hot shower or bath during the winter.
First sip of coffee in the early morn, when the sun is peeking up, siting out on the back patio, even if its cold outside, i just wrap myself in a blanket and enjoy my coffee. Times like thar give me a euphoric feeling, and loke everything is going to turn out ok. Its more than a simple pleasure. I have alot of stress lol, and it helps.
Slipping into bed with fresh sheets after a good scrub/shave/lotion bath.
Toes in soft grass.
Oooo ooo!
The other day, there was this perfect moment.
The sun hadn’t quite set. It was low in the sky, still peeking through the trees, creating those lovely streams of light you sometimes see shining down from the sky.
It was close enough to sunset that the sky was already giving everything that warm vintage rosy glow.
Everything was already perfect and surreal, so even though it was so cold, I took off my shoes and stood in the grass and just took it all in.
It was glorious!
Then, it started misting. Every so gently misting. I could see the tiny droplets swirling around in the rosy beams of light. It felt like a fairy world of magic and mystery.
I turned my head up and closed my eyes, and I swear I could feel individual drops of mist landing on my face.
The whole experience made me so happy, and (miraculously my dogs were silent the entire time), so I started slowly turning in circles.
And behind me in the sky was the biggest rainbow.
The perfect finish.
My very luckiest day. 🥰
🌈
Waking up without an alarm going off on the weekend
ooh yes. the cup of coffee. i don’t even think caffeine has any effect on me. but the process of brewing is so therapeutic to me. if I have a bad day i usually get myself a croissant so that the next day i have a small treat with my coffee.
New socks
Taking my lunch break outside. And the library dog often joins me.
The fresh air, quiet, and furry companion really helps to reset the day.
The evening Golden hour 🌆☺️
the smell of wet dirt after a spring rain
Seriously, my coffee every morning. They say the prices of coffee are going way up and I will make whatever other cuts are necessary to keep coffee in my life.
The feeling of putting on new socks
I love when you’ve had a good day doing physical activity. The sun was out and you were in good company. The day was mostly easy and by evening after you’ve showered and sat down for a delicious meal your whole body is tired in a really good way, like heavy but not hurting. Like warm and well worked. The food is good and you feel taken care of like when you were a child after a day playing outside in the summer. The house is clean, the air is clean and you feel a sense of an invisible all over hug. You know you will sleep so well through the night. You’re just content.
The smell of fresh toast. Or finding a charger exactly when I’ve emotionally hit 1%.
First bite of good, freshly baked ciabatta
Feeling the sun.
When my cat decides to sleep next to or on me 🥹
When it’s dark out and it’s cool I love to drive with all my windows down and some relaxing music

Good food. I love that stuff.
The softness of a flower’s petal when I touch it gently.
Looking at a flower and being amazed at their colors. I really like flowers. Or the sky. Or tree bark. I love looking at nature.
Naps.
Being joke and enjoying my cup of tea
I know it’s bad and I’m trying to quit… but a cigarette on the drive home after a long day of work.
When my wife scratches my back
Waking up hours before your alarm goes off and continuing to go back to sleep

Good coffee!
Great question! This is one of the inspirations for my name!!
Seeing my sweet dogs waiting for me in the window when I get home from work. 🥹
Getting all the green lights
Yanking it
Spotting a wild bird or animal when I’m out walking. Doesn’t matter if I’m in the city or the countryside, it brings me joy to see creatures going about their business.
Sitting in my kitchen nook, feet on footstool, and reading my “newspaper” including the comics, with a nice cup of coffee. The house is quiet, I have an hour of enjoyment.

When a cat chooses, of its own free will, to curl up on your lap and sleep.
The feeling of new socks on the first day of school. (I’m long out of school now but I remember)
Waking up naturally after a good sleep. No alarms, or sudden noises, or people asking anything of you. Such a nice feeling.
I really love sleep. In fact, I’m going to go and do that now. Goodnight!
Going on a walk in the park and lounging while eating a piece of banana bread
Color. Love em all. Love it when people wear color. Colorful leaves. Food. Kids’ backpacks. I’m here for it

Sleep. I enjoy sleeping plus it seems like a luxury to be able to sleep like 10 to 12hrs a day

Hot showers. Always and forever.
My dog’s tail swishing excitedly as he bounds through the field or forest sniffing things

The wife and kids thanking me for cooking dinner and making sure it’s warmed up when they get home. Wife works full time and kids each have some kind of sport or practice each night. I get home first and prepare dinner. We all eat together most of the time, but the kids leave the table as soon as they are done eating so they can get homework done. They each take the moment to thank me for a “great dinner”… makes all the work worth it.
Leaving my pajamas on my pillow under a heating pad. I had a neck injury and this habit has stayed with me. It makes getting in bed extra nice!
The first sunshine in spring 🥲
Today I was driving and switched to the right lane to get around a slow car in the passing lane.
Another car wanted to get around too, and they signaled, but there wasn’t enough room for them to get over, so I slowed down and blinked at them to get in front of me.
They did, and then they flashed their breaks in thanks.
😊
Morning coffee with a smoke
I am thee as you are thee, as you are me and we are all together!
