That is contentment ! Small things that make us happy, with an "ummmmm" that goes with it.
Some of mine that come to mind:
Sitting in front of the fireplace, feeling that warmth, reading .
Watching the birds , especially the Goldfinches, flock to the bird feeders and enjoy the goodies.
Hovering over the heater vent when it comes on ( sometimes when I'm chilly ).
Loving my house and feeling so very lucky to be living here.
----- a few of the little things---
hmmm, some of mine...
Talking to Koby while putting my hand on Lisa's tummy, and feeling Koby kick and wiggle in response to my voice.
Hearing my Gracie-bird say "I love you!"
A cat's purr
New socks
Sunshine on your back when you're wearing a dark colored sweater.
Raindrops on roses, wiskers on kittens....
Coffee with French Vanilla creamer.
Chocolate.
A clean house.
My kids and grandkids.
The smell of a baby...
Lying on your side in bed and having a puppy snuggle under the covers in the crook of your legs while a kitty lies purring at your chest...
Hugging a child that can rest his chin on the top of your head and hearing him say, I love you, too...
Good topic...
Hearing the dogs' satisfied exhales, when they snuggle up against me.
Thai Noodle Soup on a cold day - a hot spicy broth with lots of fresh vegetables.
Getting into my own bed with the love of my life after traveling for several days.
Sitting in a chair reading with Anna and smelling her hair(when she'll let me get that close to her.)
Anytime I can pick up a tennis racquet.
David, I love yours! I love you!
I love all of your comments. Thanks for sharing---it gives me the "warm fuzzies" to read of the contentment everyone has.
We are so lucky to be us !
