the little pleasures in life

[Davey]

I think that the best way to enjoy life is to sometimes forget about our worries and about all scary things in the future (I don't say we should run away) and to just have a look at the little things that we do today.

What are your little pleasures in life?

Some of mine are:
A cup of Starbucks coffee (since I don't drink it very often I quiet enjoy drinking it so now and then).
Waking up early and listening to Jazz music
Hearing "welcome home" from your kids and wife
A good laugh with friends on a Friday night.

 

[ewww]

Take a bicycle ride with son along C&O canal.
Go snowboarding with daughter, or skiing with son.
Stick with kids at movie, park, restaurant, rock concert.
Play with dog
Watch people having fun.
Fall into fresh snow powder and watch stars and moon in full silence, You know failing snowflakes make funny sounds

I never tire of shooting.

I use pellet guns in my cellar to shoot and regular guns when I go to camp. I've been shooting now for about 57 years and it takes my mind off everything else. At one time I had 22 guns and about 50 thousand rounds of assorted ammo. In my younger days I hunted , but now only shoot paper targets.

@ewww

Haha indeed watching people is indeed fun.

I always have to smile when I see someone walking on the street with a smile on their face (or when you know that they are in love).

Some other things that make me happy:
* To be satisfied about a hard day of work
* Eating Dutch Cheese
* to receive a like on jref ( hehehe)
* to drink a beer in the park at the end of the day

Popping a can of beer after a long day of work. Watching ancient episodes of "Law & Order" with my wife. Cycling.

Chocolate with an intense taste in any time of the day..

Feeling light and energic after a heavy and sweaty sport training..

Reading and watching what you like without any time limitation..

Being with someone you love..

Getting a baby's innocent smile...

Despite the insipidity, the burdens and the fakeness of this life , It is pleasing that there are still things makes you smile and happy even a little .

I would love to see a few pictures of your collection, Frank.

Not much left now. When you are married and need a new washer etc. , sell a gun to get money ,LOL. I am down to just 6 guns left now.

My next great pleasure is napping with my cats. I lay down for an hour in the afternoon and one cat sleeps on top of me and the other beside me. A cats purr of happiness makes me feel great.

*Laying in bed the whole day without feeling guilty about it
*Walking in the rain (... but not in Osaka)
*Waking up before your alarm goes off because you have a nice plan for that day

 

[ewww]

*Laying in bed the whole day without feeling guilty about it

:? I can't imagine that, does kids allow You that?

:? I can't imagine that, does kids allow You that?

No.... I wouldn't allow myself to do this... But I guess it's something I would love to do in the future...

Watching snow falling and covering the city
Walking under rain
playing with children who their ages under 3years
fasting the month of Ramadan
watching meteors and stars" my dream is to have a big telescope"

The affections of young beautiful nubile women. Those first throws of passion and unrelenting lust.

I know some people consider it "bad" and "wrong", I should probably be content with my "responsibilities".
But It is the thing that gives me joy and happiness, makes me feel truly alive, and that I am living my life to the full.
I am getting old, so I know that these moments are limited. soon they will be no more.


How I end up with these beautiful and intelligent, confident women pining after me, is a mystery to me.
A true blessing.

some wisdom told to me by an old boy

"you are young now, so when you walk down the street and you see a pretty girl,
You smile and she smiles back
When you are old, the only thing that changes is that the pretty girls stop smiling back"

 

[noyhauser]

Can you be any creepier?

 

[SevenStarsHK2N]

Don't see how I am being creepy.

 

[Gee337]

*Making a giant sandwich, throwing in almost everything edible I find at home, preferably with fresh and soft bread. Then I devour it, and enjoy every moment of it.
*I recently started cooking (or at least I'm trying), and I feel really happy when I manage to create somthing edible
*I sometimes go cycling to the near the river. It's quite calming... so peaceful and quiet.
*Once in a while I spend a day being a slob, basically - I just lie in my bed, watch some series, play on my laptop all day.
*Eating a pudding *-*
*Walking around in rain.
*Playing with cats :3

I think the charm is that I don't get to do these stuff too often.

That's not creepy o0
For some reason, sexuality is considered bad in society. A movie in which appears one naked breast seems unfit for children, while those full of violence are almost no problem.
What could be more "humane" than two people enjoying themselves with nothing else besides themselves?

The time I spend with my gf, (not limited to sexuality), is for me priceless.
I guess when I find the time, my writing gives me great comfort too, especially when I feel it's coming together.

Good suggestion, go to dentist, fix teeth and try to be clean and neat. Your smile will return to You in any age.

ewww... do not know what kind of society You are living in, would say poor Wardibald

[ewww]

Says the man from the nation of nipplegate and NC-17

so what? do You think that mass media is exact reflection of mind en masse?

place, where I am living is very ordinary for states, people may consider sexuality as bad thing,
but they will be tolerant to that and kind with You.
i think that most of them never heard about nipplegate, think why

 

[Wardibald]

So if you laugh it up about the place I live, based on nothing at all, that's all in good spirit (and don't get me wrong, it is imho).
But if I turn the tables on you, the same thing seems to turn sour enough as to recieve a "mind you sir, you're being ignorant"-answer?

lol

 

[ewww]

yes, sir, You are absolute correct that time, but that could not change anything. 笑 笑 笑

Well said.
Happiness in life is not a big fortune but accumulation of small things that make us happy.

My little pleasures are:
Inhaling sweet scent of kinmokusei wafting in the air at this time of year, on the way work and home.
Listening to crickets chirruping in the evening.
Feeling it is cold enough to enjoy a nice, hot cup of tea.
Reading books after books of my taste (preferably in bed) and doing nothing else, a rare luxury at weekends.
Ice cream!

 

[Davey]

Thanks undrentide! I love your little pleasures

* realizing you can do better (it kind of let you fall first, but after that it motivates you)
