The way your dog can look at you as if you were the Almighty himself ...

(I miss my dear friend ... :cry:).

My friend's dogs do that to me, and one of them sometimes starts crying when I leave.

My Brother's dog, an American Bulldog, looks at me as if I came from the other place. He wimpers, cowers, and "guards" my niece with a desperate look as if I'm going to eat the pair of them.

I love the day after a huge snowfall or ice storm when everything is quiet and still.

Getting into a cool bed with a cool pillow.

The pattern on a freshly opened jar of peanut butter and being able to take the first knife full.

Our cats a cryer, if we leave he'll sit at the door then cry after we lock the door, then when back, he'll run to the door then start making noise knowing we're behind the door. Other times I'll kick the kids off to school then try to go back to bed, he'll walk around and start crying out as if he doesn't have any food or water, it's got to be perfectly topped off, God forbid if it's down a 1/2" that or like hey, you can't sleep cause I'm awake!

Small/pointless things I enjoy... hmmm...

Well not so pointless: Turning of the leaves in the fall, I just LOVE the colors of the fall (finnish has a word for it: "ruska")
Fog, mist, whatever you call it, thicker the better (I especially love the rolling mist over water)
Empty roads when riding a bike
Dark and windy fall nights (I used to go and stand by the lake on nights like that when I was a teen, just to let the wind clear my head)
Stars and the moon, I love them, they are my friends (especially the Orion which I say hello everytime I see it :))

Oh and regarding to cats... Cats purring or meowing, I adore it all :D

I love the feeling of walking barefoot across my cool tile floor on a hot day after enjoying a swim in the pool.  Reminds me of summers at my grandmothers house as a kid.

I'll add to this wonderful topic. Good clothes in bad weather. I.e. being able to tell a storm to "come at me, give me your best, I'll still be warm, dry and cosy."

Oh yea!!

And one of my favorites, NEW SOCKS!  If I had the money I'd never wear a pair more than twice.  I love the feeling of new socks.

Laughing so hard your cheeks hurt and your eyes are full of tears.

Holding and dinking a hot cup of chocolate while sitting out in a cold day, wrapped up in a warm blanket with the cold wind in your face.

Floating in the ocean on a hot day, rocked by small waves.

Sitting in a rocking chair, eyes closed, outside in an autumn day, enjoying the sounds and smells of the woods.

I'm with you on cheeks and tears, just not the after effect, they get soar.. And the chocolate all bundled with the cold crisp air, I used to have a swing!

Another little trick the wife and I used to do was, our house temp we used to keep a little low like 67? So before going to bed we'd be watching tv on the couch in front of the bed and we would turn the electric blanket on at the beginning of the last tv show we were watching, then half way through during commercial run to the bathroom and get ready, then run to the bed, turn off the blanket, and jump in, all NICE AND TOASTY!! Not one square inch of cold sheets! It was like waking up in the morning knowing you had to get up and you had those perfect sheets! But you were going to bed!

Babies smiling in their sleep.  I'd love to know what they are dreaming of  :dd:

Picking the right line at the market.  You know the one that moves faster than all the others  :D

Kids climbing into bed with you in the morning for a snuggle.

That I NEVER could do  :ahhh Whenever I pick the "shortest" line, omg, there's always someone who can't find change, someone who took the wrong product, someone who wasn't sure if they wanna buy it, someone who turned out not to have the needed amount of money and had to return a product or two, someone who brought COUPONS ( :ahhh), someone who had marked the wrong product orrrrrrrrr just SOMEONE who.  :ahhh lol

Happens to me as well.  It's why I love when I randomly pick the right line  :D.  I used to be that coupon user  :whistle:.  When all was said and done I'd pay less that 1/2  :tu:

I don't use them much anymore I got lazy. 

Entering an elevator/room/vehicle with the lovely smell of a woman still lingering. 

The still in the house after a busy day.

Whipping together a meal of random things in the pantry and it tasting divine.

When the radio play song after song that I love.

Let me add another one.

This is a great thread!

Watching my sons imagination at work. Whether it be school work or having an epic battle with his ninja turtles.

Lighting your house with torches, lanterns and candles during a power outage.

Being told by my family that something I did or said reminded them of our grandfather. He was someone we all looked up to.

My son asking if he can look at my tools.

I could go on and on.

Realizing at the end of the day I didn't have to take my phone out of my pocket once.

the look on my moms face when I describe something that she thinks I was too young to have remembered.  (examples,  climbing up the cabinets and drinking a whole bottle of wishishere sauce, or drinking my whole bottle of amoxicillin from the refrigerator)  I was in diapers for latter, and my mom gets even more confused when I describe the house that this happened in in a fair amount of detail, even though we moved from there when I was 3.
