    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.

    Crashing fresh ice. Especially the one that has air underneath. It crackles really nice. It is very satisfying experience.

    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 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. 😶

    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.
