A well stocked fridge... A full tank of petrol in a freshly cleaned car... Fully stocked bathroom with toiletries, new bars of soap, plenty of loo roll, new tube of toothpaste... A full wood store and full basket of wood by the fire... Ugh. I love the feeling. I think I have a bit of prepper in me. I love the actual act of stocking it all up and then looking at it like a caveman who's brought home a leg of mammoth for the family.

Lots of lovely things in this thread.
I have been struggling to find the good/happy moments recently but this has reminded me to find joy in small things

A really amazing back scratch. My back drives me nuts with how itchy it is and my husband gives the best scratches.
Snuggles with our cat. She is so soft and fluffy and warm, and very affectionate.
The first spritz of perfume. I have a massive perfume collection and rotate them very regularly. I especially love spraying on summer fragrances in winter, it is sometimes almost as good as a blast of heat, and it is a promise of summer.
The plane taxiing down the runway on its way to somewhere hot!
A really good TV show.
A really amazing vintage dress, paired with some heirloom jewellery (I have a lot of family jewellery)
The sense of achievement after having deep cleaned the house.
A really amazing meal out.

Absolutely yes 👏🏻 to back scratches

A cup of tea when you're just on the cusp of a cold.

Sort of a medicinal purposes cup of tea.

Actual Napalm? The kind that was used in the Vietnam war and whose descendants are still having profoundly disabled babies? Why would you say such a thing?

Ffs 😂

Settle down, it's a phrase used to be sarcastic etc. I won't be guilt tripped into being politically correct either, it's a goddam film FGS.

First thing that came to mind was a walk up a hill on a clear bright day.

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. Apocalypse Now lovers from back in the day will get it!

Got another one…
A song you love being played on the radio

My very happy, purry cat sitting on your lap being fussed,
Being greeted at the door by my very happy, purry cat,
Clean pyjamas and fresh bedding after a bath or a shower,
Sitting in the spring sunshine looking at the spring flowers,
Hanging your washing out on the line in the sunshine,
Being hugged by someone you love ❤️

We have a look out point close to us where you can see dolphins on a regular basis, the excitement when you spot them through your binoculars.

@arcticpandas

A bit tonedeaf. If you read what others have written it's about small joys accessible to everyone.

There's always one 🙄

Jobs, partners and pets aren't accessible to everyone. Shall I only talk about nice things that everyone can have?

What about the posters talking about going for a walk or a run? Better delete those for all the people in wheelchairs who are reading.

I'll try again. Nothing beats the feeling of... breathing air in and out of my lungs 🤷🏻‍♀️

That moment when all of your young children are asleep and you can go downstairs and have a moment of peace. Yes I do love them really but I also love that moment 🤣

First cup of coffee in the morning when you have a day off….

Justmuddlingalong · 18/01/2025 19:42

Waking up and hearing the rain and wind batter off the bedroom window.
Then realising it's your day off and you can hunker down indoors for the day.

I once read that there is nothing so over rated as a bad fuck and nothing so underrated as a good shit. I stand by that.

Work done, house tidy, kids elsewhere. Heaven.

Being kissed, being held, skin on skin.

Dropping off to sleep in the warm sun.

The sea.

Nice socks, nice perfume, nice earrings.

@healthybychristmas I do for non-core subjects (like geography, history) but not for maths - we have to follow White Rose, but bizarrely are not allowed to actually use their plans! We have to re-do the whole lot in our 'academy format' which is such a bloody waste of time! Also not for writing (which is the killer!) as we have to follow another stupid academy format 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It does take hours and hours - but god bless AI, at least now some hours are 'clawed back' 🙌🏼

Gettting some hard to do work done - the relief, the sense if achievement.

Being wanted/loved/desired by someone you want/love/desire.

Relaxing bath, followed by clean sheets.

A tidy home.

I literally fantasise about this even when said task keeps getting postponed day after day (usually work task). Task closure is the biggest bliss for me ....
