Our cats, especially when they sense I am down and cuddle up to me in bed.

Watching the birds eat the bird feed outside my window.

Sitting in the sun reading.
Being with my dog.
Spending time with the people I love and who love me.

Having my granddaughters over for a visit and getting packages in the mail and watching good, uplifting movies.

Disputing my thoughts.
Walking
Connection with people
Friends

Humour

It's Friday and I'm home :confused: but I'm watching Golden Girls and it's a small thing that...

I try to find beauty in the smallest things. Even on the darkest days, if you a pause and look,you can find beauty. I am grateful that I can still see it.
*Looking at a flower. Really looking.The soft lines of the petals,the pollen on the stamens.Whether rose,or wildflower...so perfect.
*Waking up, opening my eyes,to see my cats sweet little sleeping face,inches from mine. The peace of just watching her breathe and dream...
*Sitting next to a stream,closing your eyes...and getting lost in the sound of the water.
*The absolute cure-all, Ben and Jerry's. Need I say more?
*Pachelbel's Canon in D, REM's Everybody Hurts, James Blunt's Goodbye My Lover, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam's Morning Has Broken, John Denver's Poems,Prayers and Promises, Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong's Summertime,Hozier's Take Me To Church,etc,etc
*Camping on a quiet mountain lake...the crackle of a campfire,sound of loons,the sound of canoe paddles,smell of pine needles...
*The unconditional love and companionship of my dog
*A really good rain and thunderstorm
*Laying in the grass,warm sun on your face,watching the clouds go by...

I just ate a delicious crab angle - Chinese takeout. That made me happy.

Then I spilled duck sauce all over myself...which did not make me happy. LOL!:poop: :shifty: :laugh:
