As I get old I start to think about how I will limit myself to only the things that give me pleasure, so I'm always thinking about my list, ranking them in order (though this isn't the actual order cause I keep changing it)

Coffee
Rum
Creating something
Social interaction
Horizontal social interaction
Doggies
Horizontal social interaction with a rum buzz

If this is all I had I'd be pretty happy!

awakening to the chatter and chirp of birds

morning coffee and reading the news

talking/skyping with friends

projects that are quirky and fun

sundays at the village

traveling and seeing new places and people

staying home and curling up with a good book

Rum will be the next drink I try. Hopefully I can follow it up with some horizontal social interacting to get the maximum pleasure result.

didn't you try that paint stripper one at Hell's Kitchen?

ZombieKitten said:

Ugh! That was rum, wasn't it
That did not taste like one of life's pleasures!

It was the wrong kind

I will add watching the glorious sunsets from my terrace.

nice. sunsets and sunrises are great life pleasures. and, working in the garden on a sunny day.

My family and my pets are number one. Also, I've always thought that no matter how much money you have or don't have, it's important to have, first of all, an amazing comfortable bed- I've always made sure to have a nice feather bed , nice linens etc. ---- Also, good candles are always a must- aromatherapy is very important---- Also, always important to be reading a good book. A nice Saturday for me is laying in bed with my dogs, reading a good book with a nice candle going and drinking a nice tea- Makes for a perfect day

Waking up after a wonderful restful sleep

Iced Caramel Macchiato

Perfectly fitting shoes

Watching birds dive into the ocean as the sun is going down or on a nice overcast day.

Bubbles

Fragrant rice with tabouli, a perfectly grilled piece of salmon and warm pita bread with greek dressing.
Thunderstorms and a raging ocean, me safe and snug looking at it through a nice big picture window.
