[Sabinae]

From the little walks in life, everyday happenings or memories, what puts a smile on your face and makes your heart sing?
Did anyhting happen today that sincerely made you laugh?
How about sharing.

I'll go on first. Few little things that bring me comfort, and pleasure:

Smoothing my cat. In fact, I think I'll do just that, especially after being on the phone to the tax office for the past 39 minutes :zzz:

You got a new one?

[Sabinae]

You got a new one?

I shall this next week... hopefully a new laptop too! Yay! I'm feeling geekish :D:tongue

Playing with a child...fills my heart in deeper ways. You are right, dandelion, a child can bring out the purest smile one can have on their lips, and heart!

[lepa]

Oh, I love this one! It is set as a ring tone for my best friend :D:D

[Teyrn]

Oh, I love this one! It is set as a ring tone for my best friend :D:D

It was one of the earliest classical pieces I fell in love with. I love Orff's Carmina Burana about the same but that isn't what I'd call soothing music. :p

[mymy]

Big cup of coffee in the sunny mornings...
Cooking
All the other typical female things: shoping-heels, make up, clothes... cosmetics, massages, coloring nails... smelling flowers, lol, yes even that...
Nice bath, with pieces of apples and roses...
Good books, music, play in theater...
Taking care about others

The Apricity, yes, agree with Sab, awesome place!


And in the end, but the most important: Love in any form... giving, receiving... :heartbea:

[Rastko]

Cofee and cigarette with my friends.
Being moderately drunk.
Looking at my girlfriend when she is thinking.
Flirting.

Masturbating.Gross but honestly. :D

Carving up the side of a hill or mountain with my snowboard.

[Teyrn]

Looking up at a cloudless sky at night and seeing the stars gives me a feeling of intense satisfaction and joy. It reminds me that I have the ability to think beyond the confines of the earth's mundanity. This is one of my favorite sites in the world:

Orion's constellation.

Carving up the side of a hill or mountain with my snowboard.

AD, thats awesome! And you are in the perfect country for such!

Last I tried... I fell flat on my bottom... :laugh: I'm a menace when it comes to snowboarding... the least I can do is skate, but, to me, that isn't exactly soothing... Im still scared of falling flat on the ice :D

I actually can't skate very well. This is ironic because my grandfather was a hockey player and my mother a figure skater.

I prefer individual activities, like snowboarding. I find social activities very stressful and need a break from them. I just play the social person.

[Flintlocke]

Killing my enemies in battle and raising the bloody sword to the sun in honor and yelling Mars' name! Or puppies, puppies are fine. :D

[Leadchucker]

A day on the beach fishing. Catching something is not important rather just being there for a sunrise over the ocean, the sound of the surf, the being alone with my thoughts for a few hours while enjoying the outdoors.

Cooking a great meal. Besides the satisfaction of accomplishment there's the sharing of the love put into the cooking.

A long flight with my model sailplanes in thermals sharing the sky and nature's energy with the birds and just relaxing.

Many kinds of music can make me happy depending on my mood, it could be from Bach to Alice in Chains all in the same day.


On the beach:

[Baron Samedi]

Being intoxicated.

Since I have stopped that for good... Nothing now.

[Grumpy Cat]

Being intoxicated.

That's been my thing, lately. I know it's bad.

I don't go on a snowboard intoxicated, that's actually illegal here.

[lI]

Walks in the woods, especially at night. I'm only semi-domesticated, I guess :D

[Amapola]

Being with family.

[Grumpy Cat]

Right now, Jose Cuervo.

[Black Sun Dimension]

That feeling you get when you finish work and you know you have all the weekend free to do whatever you want without worrying about deadlines and shit.

[Foxy]

When my boyfriend tells me: "Tonight I bring you to the Chinese restaurant, and I pay for both!" :thumb001:

Sex... honest answer.

Enjoying my wifes company,...going out for meals in local pubs,...walking my 2 staffies,..one or two drinks on an evening just chilling out watching a bit of TV. (MOTD saturday night)

Accomplishing goals in life and the Florida beach vacation I just paid $$$ for.

[Teyrn]

Being intoxicated.

Since I have stopped that for good... Nothing now.

Artificial happiness created by booze isn't true happiness and then there are the side-effects like hangovers, etc. :(

[Mortimer]

sometimes internet, a nice pm/email...but sometimes internet is even more stress. so undecided on internet

[Mordid]

[Mortimer]

[Mortimer]

I dont know if it was Lenin, Stalin or someone else who said it but.... he said something along the line

"Give a man a bottle of wodka, an kg potatoes and a wife in his bed, and he is happy".....

[Leadchucker]

vodka. Try it with root beer...yes, really :D

Traveling expectative

You have to love this, I do. It has it's own special mix of excitement and apprehension at the same time.:thumbs up

[Black Sun Dimension]

BBQ and cold beer on a hot afternoon weekend at your backyard, with some chilling music, comfy chairs, friends and family to talk and tell jokes, some snacks to dip in the guacamole while you wait for the meat to be ready.

All this shatters when you realize its your turn to wash the dishes and clean up the mess.

[ariaka]

Listening to a water fountain.

[GeistFaust]

Nothing makes me feel better than overcoming some struggle or challenge, Exercising makes me feel good, Intellectual Stimulation by reading philosophical books always made feel on a high, Proving others wrong makes me feel good, Independently determining myself, Freely wandering in nature, and fighting liberals and other degenerate scum.

[Grumpy Cat]

I know this may sound weird, but my job.

No cooler feeling than solving a problem, or having something you designed or wrote deployed. It's a sense of accomplishment.

The act of working on it is fun and relaxing, I compare it to doing a crossword puzzle. But solving the problem is like the feeling of completing a crossword puzzle x 10.

Crossword puzzles soothe me too.

[Sikeliot]

Eating a lot.. not a good thing to admit but I love eating. I will go through bags of chips at a time and then go for the ice cream next. D:

[European Loyalist]

-playing music (except when I have a solo in orchestra :embarrassed)
-listening to music
-cycling
-skiing
-hiking
-talking with and meeting other young rightists! :) (When you are surrounded by braindead hipster liberals/politically apathetic people another rightist is like a brother/sister to you.)
-seeing and studying our beautiful peoples and cultures and acheivements :)

[Mosov]

sleeping

[Sikeliot]

sleeping

I agree with this as well. Especially sleeping after a shower, with wet hair. Some people hate sleeping with wet hair, but I love it.

[Marmie Dearest]

nice long walks in lovely weather (or even not-so-lovely weather, if I'm properly dressed for the occasion)

baking or a trying a new recipe

cats

the smell of freshly turned earth in a garden

long drives on back country roads

listening to music

museums and historic houses

good movies

literature that I personally enjoy (not something I'm made to read!)

You remind me of the fictional character "Inspector Morse". :D

[derLowe]

Diving underwater while holding my breath.

I get such a wonderful sense of isolation when I do that. I can be under water for up to a minute just enjoying the solitude. When it rains it is even more beautiful at the bottom of the pool, the rain drops just puncture the water surface making a breath taking show.

[Grumpy Cat]

Haha... well, today I got a rush at work. I solved a problem that I had been working on for two weeks and it was driving me stir crazy.

[Caismeachd]

A good jog sprint, but I've been out of the habit due to injury.

Hiking. Only mountains or areas which have nice viewpoints. I don't like too rural very much.

Tea - chamomile is my favorite.

A good movie. Something I haven't discovered yet. Not some Hollywood tripe but something like discovering Kurosawa or Tarkovsky for the first time.

Having a few people in my life I can trust and confide in but this is the most volatile of everything I've written so that's why it's last.
