What makes you happy?

My houseplants, funnily enough. Not in like a weird kind of way, but more like a sense of satisfaction. 'I have raised this from plant infancy and it is not dead yet!'

Also my bird and my dog, for much the same reason.

Damn imagine if you have a human kid!

My cats make me happy, they are all loving and have their different personalities that I have figured out and I can usually predict what they are going to do next in whatever situation they get into.
 
Watching a movie with the wife, giving the kid a bath, playing with the dogs, winning (gloating) in fantasy football, the sound it makes when you land a Cessna just right, the way my car makes the tires skip a little when shifting in the power band, new episodes of The Grand Tour, old episodes of Top Gear, being woken up with sex, the smell meat makes when you grill it, the way a well mixed Old Fashioned seems to go with everything, watching my parents smile harder than I've ever seen when we bring my son over, playing video games on lazy weekends, planting veggies and potatoes with my wife in the spring, my wife's butt in just about anything, that feeling when you realize you just spent 3 hours reading a book and it only seemed like 40 minutes, the taste of fresh veggies, the satisfying click that toggle switches make, opening my bank account and seeing 5 figures, my dogs rolling on my chest to wake me up in the morning to feed them, the laughter of friends, the way my son smiles when you get him out of his crib in the morning, the smell of good tobacco, the first sip of coffee in the morning and the satisfying way a crisp apple snaps when you bite in to it
 
Probably booze, drugs, and finding new good music. I love music that has a lot of layers and shit, especially an interesting brass or woodwind section -- I re-discover music all the time and fall in love with it all over again; I'm listening to Rodger Hodgson's songs he wrote for Supertramp, especially Logical Song and Breakfast in America, and I just have this dumbass grin, I can feel it. Those saxophone bits are great, too. My fav.
 
-Friends & family
-Working on my art
-Studying (writing essays, researching)
-Exercising, no matter if it's strength training or cardio, it always helps!
-Collecting books. I'm sort of a bibliophile, collecting mostly antique books (all the way back to 17th century works), both for personal interest and possible monetary value later.

Curling up under a soft blanket with a well-loved book in bad weather
Going to a cabin in the woods away from everything and everybody in nice weather.

Sitting down in my comfy chair with a steaming mug of tea and a book to read makes me happy. Traveling does too, but I really prefer seeing new places to actually traveling there. Can't stand the modern travel industry.
 
Ive found that my plants make me happy when everything is dead outside during late summer or winter.

-Even the shitty Old Man cactus with spines like steak knives and is near impossible to repot, even with gloves.
 
Calling the girlfriend.
Having a smoke and a cup of tea after work.
Jumping in the first train or bus to go see long-distance friends
Shitposting on KF
 
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
 
Winning huge on slot machines.
Sunshine
SCIENCE!
Technology
Chocolate
Meals and ice cold drinks
And the ladies ;)
 
I like sunny days with the temperature in the 60s and a little breeze.
I like when my cat helps me wake up in the morning by rubbing her face in the palm of my hand so I'll pet her, and meowing if I'm not doing it with enough conviction.
I like going to the beach on a warm day and feeling the water on my feet and ankles, and finding little interesting rocks or shells or trinkets on the sand.
I like taking a good toke and stretching out on the couch with some snacks and a lighthearted movie.
There's this old hoodie my mom used for a Hobbes costume (as in Calvin &) and it's the softest hoodie known to man. I like to wear that hoodie and eat a bowl of stew or soup.
