Frothy coffee in a nice mug.
Waking up with my dog sleeping on my bed.

I will not admit to this in real life but a pint can of energy drink. I love the pretty colored tins and it's my 5 minutes to myself. I don't drink or smoke so it's my vice, I don't do it every day but at least twice a week.
Inspired by the Op, I do have a sneaky listen to my little boy snoring gently. Yes, he's 11 but he's my wee boy and he sleeps the same way he has since he was born.

Seeing the sea from my bedroom window 🌊

StormingNorman · 11/09/2024 21:38

Coffee, Mars Bars and my cat 🤣

Edited to add…and DH of course 🤣🤣

onemorerose · 11/09/2024 21:43

Aside from my children and pets…most of the time. The sea. When the house is tidy. There must be more, I will have to think and see if any on this thread resonate

A cold lime Pepsi max in the evening
A cosy dressing gown and slippers
Reading a good book

RenoDakota · 11/09/2024 21:49

My first cup of tea of the day at about 7:30. I am already looking forward to it when I go to bed.
A KitKat Chunky in the evening gives me joy too. I look forward to that as well.

@EngineEngineNumber9 jealous 😍

I had an awful time growing up with spiteful and belittling parents, I’ve been no contact for 20 years now and even in my 40’s still suffer from mental health issues stemming from my childhood. This evening I was lying on my bed reading a book, and my teenage daughters all piled into my bedroom just to spend time with me and have a chat. I was lying there thinking how lucky I am to have such a lovely relationship with my children and they actually enjoyed spending time with me

A big hug
The sunshine
Walking

Food
Crisp white wine
Fresh flowers
A blue sky

DH makes me cappuccino every morning.

Echobelly · 11/09/2024 22:02

Cups of green tea
Sharing a joke with my two lovely teens
Guided meditation/relaxation videos on YouTube - sometimes I need them to get to sleep, sometimes I don't need them but just enjoy zoning out to them

letstrythatagain · 11/09/2024 22:04

Coffee, my dog, walking in the woods especially in the autumn 🍂💕

Oh that’s amazing x

GameOfJones · 11/09/2024 22:08

Listening to my podcast when I'm alone in the car.

Applying foot cream in the evening then putting socks on and sitting with my feet up in front of the TV.

Going to bed early to read my book.

YorkieTheRabbit · 11/09/2024 22:09

My dog
Watching the birds in the garden and listening to them tweeting and singing
Seeing the moors from our house, how the change through the seasons, full of beautiful purple heather at the moment although blackened and scarred in places from a fire a few weeks ago 🥲

Octoberdreaming · 11/09/2024 22:14

My son’s little dimples every time he smiles, my cup of morning tea, getting in my car in the early morning and playing and singing along to my favourite music, that overwhelmingly comforting feeling as you slip into a nice warm bubble bath, to name a few.

CanYouHearThatNoise · 11/09/2024 22:18

WhatsApp messages from all my family, particularly my GDs
My cat
Not having to go to work now I'm retired
My husband, who cooks most days
Our youngest GD, who is just starting to walk
Taking my bra off at night 😂

blueberrycherubandbump · 11/09/2024 22:20

When DC sits on my lap and fully relaxes and sinks into me.

That sunlight where it's not overpowering but you can feel the warmth on your skin, and it warms your bones.

Crisp, cold sparkling water drank through a straw

A really good tomato and juicy ripe watermelon

The blast of warm air when you step off the plane abroad

Other than the baby sleeping I could have written this.

These plus a proper singalong to the radio when I’m driving.

RabbitsRock · 11/09/2024 22:28

Apart from family & friends :-
My bunnies
Morning cuppa made by DH
Lists
Dark chocolate milk ( I will never go back to ordinary chocolate milk!)
Connecting with my customers at the till
Time on my own - so precious
