For me it's being on the moors dangling my feet in a stream with the sun on my face listening to the birds or reading a book in the field with my horse and snuggling up in bed with dh and a nice cup of tea.

Simple things really. What makes you happy?

Reading a book in a field with your horse sounds absolutely wonderful, OP. I really miss my horse!

Reading a book with my cat snuggled next to me makes me happy! :)

Frosty mornings. The really bright, blue-skied ones where everything glitters and the grass is white and crunchy.

My little girl.

Being by the sea.

Reading on my commute - somehow I never find the same time or headspace at home.

Custard tart and a cup of tea in front of the log fire.

Waking up in the morning and knowing I will never have to go to work ever again as I'm retired. Goes back to sleep ...Smile

Finfintytint · 20/01/2022 17:54

The smell of any plant, fruit, veg that I have grown myself. The scent of Sweet peas makes me feel wonderful.
(Easily pleased).

Imissmoominmama · 20/01/2022 17:55

Being outdoors in the countryside, or by the sea. My dogs and cat. Books. Sleeping outside. Riding my bike. Swimming outdoors.

Pegasussnail · 20/01/2022 17:55

Kisses from my sons. They are so sweet and gentle little boys.

Watching a good drama with dh and mulling it over for a few days.

Flowers. Candles.

Clean home.

A purry cat and a snorey dog

AffIt · 20/01/2022 17:58

My elderly cat waits for to wake up, then comes to my side of the bed for snuggles and purrs for 15 minutes before I get up.

I don't think we have a lot of time left together, so this is very precious to me.

A hot shower after a long day at work (long days, spent mostly on my feet, get hot a lot)

Walking my dogs, in any weather.

Sex.

Survival, grateful for what I have, yes I look back and think why did I not so x,y,z instead of what I did do, for different situational aspects, but then I realise that the timeline would be altered and any number different situational aspects could be altered.

I guess overall, food on the table, energy in the metre, having family and some close friends, and a good lady to chat and experiment with different ideas and perspectives.

My dog snoring on me.
Spring and summer. Feeling sun on my face and bright sunny mornings and light warm evenings.
Watching a live band.
Hanging out with my friends.
The kids having fun (not arguing or asking for snacks!)
