The tiny things that make us happy.
Sergeant
There is so much negativity and hopelessness in AH at the moment. It's like a very bad episode of Liveline, with Dr. Bollocko as a cynical Joe Duffy.
What are the tiny things that make you happy? I woke up this morning and stuck my head out through the curtains. There was snow on the ground. I smiled, remembered being a child, and wanted to go outside immediately to throw snowballs around. On the way to work I witnessed a cat lick her kitten.
So what makes the good folks of AH happy? The tiny and insignificant moments that move you guys away from fussing about the government, the economy, a United Ireland, and all those very emotive issues that really seem very important.
What are the lovely little things that perk you up as a human?

Get this cheerful crap out of my AH and into 'Sunshine Lollipops....etc'
.....

Raspberry Pavlova and my dog made me chuckle earlier. She was snuggled beside me on the sofa and shuffled up to my lap and when I looked down to give her a cuddle her snout was in my pocket. Very cute.

Okay they're massive things and they might not even be there any more because we're effectively looking into the past but ykwim.

When you realise that your fiancée is not just your 'fiancée' but also your best friend in the world and the funniest person you know. Looking forward to the future..

Washing my hands under water that's the perfect temperature. Happens very rarely, but when it does....bliss

AH answer: sitting on the front terrace with a drink in hand, watching as my butler releases the hounds to chase somebody back along the drive towards the front gates.
Serious answer: meeting up with a good friend after a long time not seeing each other, and things are just like you remember
That, and when you wake up during the night and realise there's still another 3 hours of sleep left

Coming across a good book you didn't even know existed.

I'm at home visiting The Mothership with me fella at the moment and I've had loads of 'em:
Lambs with their mammies up near Newgrange when we visited the last day.
Daffodils, a sign of Spring, in my parents back garden even if the weather is brutal.
Sitting with my family having lunch with some wine and great conversation and laughs and feeling that sense of unity and security and belonging you only get with your family.
Walking around Dublin yesterday and everything feeling so familiar still. Again that sense of belonging. You can feel a bit lost and like outsider sometimes when you live abroad and the feeling that you can go back knowing you belong somewhere as great as Ireland is lovely.
Mannerly and friendly waiters/waitresses/shop assistants. How I miss them.
I'm from a seaside town and now I live in a landlocked city and I'm sitting here listening to the seagulls outside and nothing else.
Friends on the telly when you turn it on.
Being in the company of funny, nice people and making each other laugh to the point where you can feel the buzzy sparks of chemistry and connection between you and your stomach hurts from laughing.
Etc.

Sleeping or showering in your own home after being away!

No idea why I like it, but walking on grass when it's freezing cold and the muck has turned rock solid.

Getting out from work early.
Waking up in the morning and remembering that I have the day off.
Hearing a song that I haven't heard in ages that I used to love.
Coming in from the cold and having a nice hot whiskey.
Going home for the weekend.
Ag labhairt as Gaeilge!

Going home to your own bed after being away.
Getting up first thing in the morning when there is not a sight nor sound from anyone or anything except for the birds and taking the dog for a walk, so peaceful it makes me feel like I have the whole world to myself for a while.
Coming in after a long hard day and having your dinner served up to you.
Nice days when you can roll down the window in the car and play some great music, it always sounds better with the windows down.
The sounds that my dog makes when he gets up in the morning, he shakes his head so that his ears make a flapping sound and once he's finished that and his stretching I know that he'll be over for cuddles.

Love waking up to the sun beaming in the bedroom window.
Long drives on a warm hot summers day, sun shinning, windows down.
Having an ice cold alcoholic beverage on a sunny day while chilling with family/friends.
Pretty Sunsets.
The sun just generally makes me happy :cool: Thank god I'm out of this country in a few months
