For me it’s any of these things:

People commenting on my art. I deeply cherish the fact that someone has taken time out of their day to say nice things about my work!

People calling me pretty. I get this quite a lot, but it always hits just as it does the first time! 😊

Finding a new song that I end up becoming incredibly addicted to, to the extent that I play said song on repeat throughout the course of the day and then it no longer registers as a song the next day, similar to when you say a word over and over, and it no longer feels like a word? That type of thing… 😂

What are some things that would generally be considered to be trivial/small, that when they happen, never fail to just make your day?

    My cats competing for a spot on my lap. I’ve never been popular with my fellow human beings so I’ve learned to appreciate the affection of my feline friends all the more. Their ‘opinion’ matters more to me than that of any human.

        All mutts! 2 voids, a tortie, and a tux. 3 girls and a boy, all fixed. The two older ones (14) are sisters from the same nest. The younger ones (5/7) were rescues that happened to come into our lives at the perfect times.

    To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

    Friends sending me pictures of their cats. Those fem self euphoria moments. Digging into dinner after not eating all day without realizing. Snuggling my face into my stuffed animals after shaving. Remembering someone caring for me, though that can hurt just as much.

    It’s the small things that start meaning a lot.

    I work nightshift and last year I had nightshift from 22nd Dec to I think 28th Dec (7 nightshifts) I do it for the money and so I am off longer til 10th January.

    I always wear my christmas sweater to work and before I go to my nightshifts I stop at the bakery. I am 30 and this lady, I assume around 26-28 commented on my sweat “Hey you look good!”.

    I am not searching for a girlfriend because I have a wife lol but this still somehow felt nice. My wife also comments on how good it looks etc. but when strangers comment on that it’s still kind of different.

    I grabbed my coffee2go, sat in my car, called my wife and told her a young lady hit on me but eventhough I am old asf (31 lol) and she laughed and wished me a good nightshift.

    When my wife and I go on vacation to italy and a car that is still with you after 3 hours drives is also nice. The last time the car behind flashed his headlights 4-5 times before he left our highway and waved. I waved back. We never saw us again.

    Somehow i like turning on my dishwasher. Press two buttons and you can hear it go to work. Also the joy of not having to clean your dishes manually.
