What Relatively Small Things Brighten Your Day?

I woke up this morning to a text from my best friend saying, "Hey, I love you. Just wanted you to know!" That colored my entire morning with the grin I had when I read her words. I felt overwhelming gratefulness for having her in my life.

I'd say interesting/positive texts(or messages on here) cheer me up, too.

Good, homemade food.

Hearing stories of favored deities.

Watching the sky change throughout my day/night through the glass door in the library.

Good, homemade food.

This is a good one too! Sometimes I eat extra slowly just to prolong my enjoyment of the food.

Sunshine. When a woman smiles at me. Something I cook that comes out just right.

Sunshine is a favorite of mine, but being Arab, I might be a tad biased in favor of sunny climate.

If you ever pass by Egypt, I'll be happy to share a coffee near the Pyramids.

When I wake up in the morning what often make my day, is when someone here in the forum has sendt a message/posting something that show love and kindness.
Not nessesary toward me, but toward other members too.

I would very much like to visit Egypt one day. In Britain, sunshine is not a given every day, so we like it when it comes. But we have more opportunities see a woman's smile.

Laughter.

Laughter.

That's cheating! I said "relatively small things," but laughter is one of the biggest joys of life.

I meditated for 20 minutes this morning, then went for a swim in the mixed pond on Hampstead Heath. A day that starts like that can't fail to be blessed.

I'm listening to meditation music as I type this. Meditation is the closest thing to "spiritual" from my perspective.

That all goes well until the sun and the rain start smiling and giggling at you.

Morning sunshine.

Rain (usually not to much, we have had very little since May so at the moment any amount is a joy)

Cool, fresh bed sheets.

 

[ADigitalArtist]

A lot of the same mentioned in the thread like food, beautiful weather, family and friends checking in.

I've also been on a fancy bath kick. I stated Epson soaks to help with chronic muscle soreness but lately been adding in bath oils, bath bombs and even lighting some candles and I definitely see the appeal.
Smell is a big emotion tied sense.

Cooking, and then eating with family.

Joking and conversation with family.
