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

    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.

    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 any own stuff, warm socks and cold coffee.

    Every morning my two youngest kids (under 5) get up around 7:00 AM. The first thing they want to do is sit on my lap in the recliner while I either read to them or turn on one of their TV shows and we just chill for an hour. We do this every day and it’s my favorite part of the day.

    Oh, hey, OP! I, too, enjoy touching paintings w/ a bone-dry brush and then holding still in the moment. 😶

    Seeing animals, especially in the wild, especially birds. I like to think of every sighting as good luck.

    Toddlers. Seeing toddlers stumbling about and discovering their world is fascinating to me.

      When I met my wife, she loved going to theaters to see kids see something amazing for the first time.

      She’s so wonderful.

      Similar but different, we have a kitten and it’s funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don’t use it that often and I guess he hadn’t seen it in action before.

    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.
