What simple things fill you with joy?

For me:

The opening chord of A Hard Day's Night.

Runner's High.

Crisp, bright winter mornings.

Looking up at night and seeing the ancient light from incredibly distant stars.

When my MP3 player plays two songs from the same album in order when it's on shuffle.

Knowing I've done my job well, and enjoyed doing it.

Chocolate.

The English language put to beautiful use.

What little things put a smile on your face?

waking up naturally on my day off, no noise, no alarm, just coming around, then going downstairs making a coffee and chilling out knowing ive the whole day to myself!

Good food and a couple of glasses of wine and sex of course!

Pink floyds wish you were here.
Crisp autumn mornings.
Puppies.
Kittens.

I was going to simply say " Sex" .. but that would be a a lie ...

Good sex !! on the other hand would not be a lie .

Today seeing my daughter walking for the first time.

The first page of a new book that draws me in so much I know I'll be up all night reading it.

The smell of coffee in the morning.

Noticing the first leaves bundled in the gutters and on the ground under the trees in the autumn.

My new boots.

Crackling fires on a cold day.

Phone calls from old friends.

Being told by someone I admire that I've done excellent work.

The period between October and Christmas. My favourite time of year.

Wind and rain against the window on a day off.

Hot chocolate.

And so many more

.

Putting on a clean, fresh pair of white socks twice a day.. Satisfys my OCD

I don't how much of a child I still am but some of the stuff they get away with on "kids" shows has me just thinking about it, grinning like an idiot and puts me in a great mood.

woodoo · 26-09-2012 11:20PM

A bath when you come in cold.

Witchie · 26-09-2012 11:21PM

My 15yr old son hugging me, kissing me and telling me he loves me every nite before he goes to bed. Oh and I love his hugs when he comes home from school. Just so nice to have loving children. That is the biggest blessing in my life.

Being loved by the man I love. Pure (and not so pure!) joy.

Richard Hillman · 26-09-2012 11:22PM

When you run for a bus and make it just in the nick of time

Snowie · 26-09-2012 11:24PM

For the past ten years i couldn't smile properly because i had really ****ty teath and that was 3 weeks ago I cant stop smiling all the time

... Genuinely cost me a fricken fortune but being honest being able to smile properly just makes every day awesome..

Thats what fills me with joy knowing I can smile confidantly

Talib Fiasco · 26-09-2012 11:26PM

Fresh jocks
Fresh socks
Fresh sheets
Long warm showers with lots of shower gel
A warm hug when you're cold
A new hoodie
The electric blanket on a cold winters night

Bipolar Joe · 26-09-2012 11:28PM

Cuddles and holding hands.

The bass during the second half of Bend Shadows Towards The Light.

Animals being friends.

Kim Deal during Where Is My Mind?

Cold glass of water when it's hot.

When I get really, really salty crisp, the type that literally melts in your mouth.

Ah thee electric blanket, nothing like cosy toes and a warm bum!

The *pop* sound when you uncork a bottle of wine, followed swiftly by the soft *bloop bloop bloop* of the wine pouring into the glass.

hidinginthebush · 26-09-2012 11:31PM

Floating on my back in the sea and looking up at the sky.

Looking at the sunrise.

Both these activities are completely free and fill you with such an overwhelming peace, feels good man.

some random drunk · 26-09-2012 11:33PM

Walking behind a hot girl wearing those tight black leggings.

Accidentally getting 2 bars from a vending machine.

Arriving at a luas/bus stop and seeing there's a tram/bus due in 1 min.

Waking up early on a Saturday morning, momentarily forgetting it's Saturday and then remembering.

KKkitty · 26-09-2012 11:34PM

My sons wanting cuddles. When the youngest farts he points to himself smiling saying I farted as if he's proud of himself. The other night my oldest decided he wanted to read his own bedtime story and it came to the word follows and he pronounced it correctly on his first attempt. My fiancé holding me in my arms too.

meoklmrk91 · 26-09-2012 11:36PM

Coming home after a long, hard day to a silent empty house.

When the cat comes and sits on my lap for cuddles, especially the sound of her purring.

Just having my dog around me.

Waking up early on a weekend morning and realising that I can turn over and go back to sleep.

Going to bed with a hot water bottle.

Having a much needed smoke.

Listening to great music in the car with the window rolled down the whole way on a nice day.

stmol32 · 26-09-2012 11:37PM

Opening a new jar of coffee.

conorc94 · 26-09-2012 11:37PM

Sleeping.

And tea.

Wee Willy Harris · 26-09-2012 11:38PM

A long, long walk certainly lifts the mood and revitalizes wee willy.

Lucyfur · 26-09-2012 11:39PM

My son. Even when he's driving me crazy:)

Cuddles and chats with my OH. I love that we can tell each other anything.

Walks on a crisp, dry day.

Crunchy leaves on said walk.

Buzz from running.

Being close to, or in the sea.

My furbabies.

I don't have children myself but i have 8 nephews and nieces and at the risk of sounding soppy i would have to say that a lot of the simple things that fill me with joy would probably have involved them. Things like the first time each of them said my name, gave me a hug or kiss, actually this list could go on and on lol It's just silly little things sometimes but they brighten my day all the same

Another would be when 2 of my nephews decided to break ranks from their chelsea supporting parents and siblings and come over to my team-Liverpool

All my siblings support Chelsea so that was joyous to say the least lol

Also in there would have to be waking up to the sun shining through your window, can't beat that feeling.

What simple things fill you with joy?
