What are things that bring you joy?
Coming home. My wife always does little reno projects to the house and i work on creating a nice garden. We could only afford something small, but we’ll never have kids so it’s a good forever home.
Dam I used to think I was gonna die partying young, now all these years later I get excited shopping for cactus soil.
Quiet mornings
To crush ny enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women!
goth latinas
Crashing fresh ice. Especially the one that has air underneath. It crackles really nice. It is very satisfying experience.
Not having to go to work, quit work at 40, am now 60.
How did you do it?
Painting tabletop miniatures
Speedball lines of opiates and cocaine.
Mostly simple stuff
An entertaining or educational book, a good philosophical argument, enjoying moments of good health, leisure, and company, the double barrel shotgun in doom, learning a new song or technique on the guitar and using it to create my own stuff, warm socks and cold coffee, figuring out a bug or defect in a program.
Seeing the crooked man walking his crooked mile when I go into work.
Seeing animals, especially in the wild, especially birds. I like to think of every sighting as good luck.
Oh, hey, OP! I, too, enjoy touching paintings w/ a bone-dry brush and then holding still in the moment. 😶
maybe OP heard of dry brushing and got a little confused
My wife and my cats. We got a kitten a few months after my older cat passed and it turned out to be a really good decision (even though he does drive us crazy sometimes, because kittens are basically toddlers with pointy teeth and claws and a 1-meter vertical leap). Not saying kittens are a cure for depression, but it helps.
That moment when you’re stuck on a part of your code and you figure it out, write it, test it and it just works.
It’s rare, but when it happens, it feels very good.
My wife
My morning meditation
My garden
My cats and dog
My electric bill- no, wait.
