This is super cute, I’ll give it a try!

Seeing someone else’s face light up from a compliment (especially a guy, we don’t compliment men enough)
Having someone appreciate my hard work
Walking by a newly-mowed lawn
Walking along the beach
Seeing dolphins in the waves

Yesss to the candles with wooden wicks. We always had them in my house growing up and I will always love them! They're like a mini fireplace, with the crackling sound!

There are many things but I can't think of them at the back of my head, sorta live life at the moment and enjoy the little things Some common ones that I tend to enjoy:

- The smell of books (new and old). I still buy books and never fail to visit a bookstore when I see one.
- The smell of freshly-brewed tea.
- Playing with my cats and dogs.
- Waking up after a satisfying sleep (uninterrupted 7 to 8 hours sleep).

 

[Late Night Thoughts]

-Having my cat sleep in the same bed with me (he doesn't like cuddling so he sleeps at the edge!)
-Digging small holes in sand at the beach
-My mom talking about what she has planted in her garden
-Obtaining a new DIY in AC
-Watching minecraft livestreams
-Smelling candles at stores knowing very well you aren’t going to buy any
-Eating chicken nuggets haha

[michealsmells]

Not to be gay but when my crush laughs its honestly the greatest thing on the planet. Like they have this sorta traditionally ugly laugh but to me its like- thats you! Thats truly you being happy and there's nothing more heartwarming or adorable than that!!!

 

[Trent the Paladin]

- Getting smiles from babies at work
- Getting a coworker to really flash a smile (I don’t know how to explain it better, just like a genuine appreciation kind of smile?)

Looking at the clouds
Wondering what the birds are talking about
Lava Lamps

 

[g u a v a]

the brisk air at sunrise
the first mark on a blank canvas
organizing things by color
also, lava lamps

 

[Xeleron]

• Right before it starts getting really cold, having those two weeks of brisk air all day is wonderful!
• Sitting near the lit fire pit in my backyard when it's cold outside, bonus points for making smores
• The smell of hot coffee in the mornings
• My fur babies sleeping
• When you randomly remember a word or thing you had completely forgotten about
• Finally finding something you've been looking for
• Having breakfast with friends (pre-covid)

The little things bring me the most happiness.

When I see puppies or when someone sends me pictures/gifs of puppies

Certain sounds. E.g.: wind chimes – especially bamboo, the sound of water slapping against a dock, and the sound of a lawn mower running on a Saturday morning

When someone starts a conversation with no ulterior motive other than genuinely wanting to chat. Thank you ❤

Eating a home cooked meal or making pancakes for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner

Waking up on a Saturday thinking it’s a workday but then realize it’s not

Wrapping up in a blanket with pillows, plushies, and a cozy blanket while playing a solid RPG or farming sim.

Seeing small acts of kindness (both online and IRL)

When someone shares something they think I’d enjoy (e.g.: game announcement, article)

Seeing and hearing others laugh

Sending someone a letter, card, or thank you note

Roasting marshmallows and making smores outdoors

Getting something unexpected in the mail (but not a surprise bill!)

 

[Seastar]

-Listening to music I haven't heard in like a year
-My cat purring
-Chocolate
-Pizza with cheese stuffed crust
-Eggnog
-Day dreaming
-Going to thrift stores (Does this count as little...?)

When my friend sends me strange world comics because she knows how much I love them

 

[TheodoreCottontail]

When I get home from work, my cats & giant rabbit all run towards me. They secretly just want food but I'll take it.
