Waking up all cozy and snuggled under the comforter on cold rainy/snowy mornings all safe and warm with my sweet DH.

Having my first cup of strong hot black coffee in the early morning before the world is awake.

The first snow early in the AM making the landscape a winter wonderland.

Getting together with my family cherishing every day because my dad is almost 86 and I treasure every moment with him.

The days getting longer again in just a few days woohoo climbing slowly out of the short dark days.

Having the kitties snuggle with me on the couch all the while they are purring with contentment.

Seeing good friends (after a long hermitage due to our cat’s illness) and feeling the love all around.

Cycling in the colder weather all bundled up and happy to be one with nature enjoying the sand and sea and beauty all around.

What are you loving right now?
 
First, I love this thread :)

I love that my teenagers still talk with me and we have fun and meaningful conversations.

I love that my cat head butts me when I do yoga at home, and when she finds me and snuggles with me on the couch late at night when I can't sleep.

I love the sound that sleet makes late at night against my windows (even thought I do not like the ice on roads)

I love my coffee in the morning.

I love me a good fat glass of red wine on a cold rainy or snowy day.
 
am coffee

crisp, cool, sunny, windless days

a slightly warm breeze at dusk

the smell of the air when you're near saltwater

spending time in nature

my hub's silly jokes

my pets greeting me when i come home
 
being outside. Even rainy weather, cooler weather, just feel more alive.
Trees : )
The fact my new cat likes me so much she smells my breath and starts purring, sometimes licks me too.
sketching
silly jokes and snl skits
that both of my parents are still alive and able to have conversations with me
my kids
hot tea
snuggling/sleeping in with my gentleman friend

my boyfriend..
my children..
my seven (YES SEVEN, NOW) grand babies..
my three stubborn pitbulls..
friends with a wicked sense of humor..
nice white wine..
being able to wear a turtleneck or sweaters (in SoCa it's quite a feat lol)..
my first morning coffee.. sometimes on the weekend when no one else is awake..
decorating for Christmas.. the smell of Christmas.. everything surrounding Christmas..
laughing so hard I snort..
long friendships..
a huge soaking tub and long baths.. (gosh I miss that)

the smell of a wood burning fireplace..
sitting outside or falling asleep in the summer on the futon/swing my boyfriend gave me..
autumn.. everything about autumn..

Life.. I love life. <3
 
I love watering my garden and finding various creatures within. I am over the moon when I find a praying Mantis as these are my favourite insect.
I love washing my car, weird I know, but I love it looking nice and shiny.
i love my Christmas lights. Every year I swear never again, it takes me 2 days to sort them, untangle them and place them just right, and it’s summer here so it’s really hot outside. Bonus is 80% of mine are now solar so that sunshine sure helps!
l love getting into bed every night and being able to give thanks and feel gratitude that not only I have a nice, comfy safe bed to sleep in and a roof over my head, I have DH, DD, D dogs in my life to love and cherish.
 
HI:

Good champagne and a nicely crafted cocktail.
A well made cup of coffee. Strong. Ohhh the smell.
The scent of fresh pine.
I love the gorgeous visual of Poinsettias. I could have a hundred in my house all year long. And old world roses. Oh roses, roses, roses.
A job well done.
Sunshine and heat. I was not built for winter!!
Cycling--the wind in my face.

cheers--Sharon
 
Coffee in bed when I first wake up, brought to me by my smiling husband.

Waking up and realizing I've slept in. Then realizing I've slept in because I haven't been woken up to take DH to the train station for work...because he's working from home for the day! ( - my favorite small surprise in the whole world!)

Swimming in the ocean.

Christmas. Seriously. Carols. The lights. Church on Christmas morning. All that Christmas means.

Light - in all its form. I'm a sunrise, not a sunset person. A spring, not a fall person. A daytime, not a nighttime person.

My dogs immediately post grooming.

My house, when it's really, really clean.

Cashmere.

Leaving the dentist's office.

Virtually all animals.

Flowers and beautiful gardens.

And one of the best feelings in the entire universe....

Being discharged from hospital. There's no feeling like it! (Amiright or amiright, all fellow hospital dischargees??)
 
Gary
Borris sitting on the arm of my chair right now and her lying on me in bed
Tibby's ginourmouse cat cuddles
the smell of cat tummy when they have been snoozing on the lawn in the sun
the smell of our tomatos plants in the garden
my cacti flowering on the kitchen window sill
not being cold
not having to wear winter clothes
not having to have winter sheets (not that i don't love them in the winter)
not having to wear shoes

bacon
my lemon tree - its huge
not renting anymore

You are right! But I was odd in that I was so relieved to finally get to the hospital after a full 2 week delay from a serious break of my leg to finally being able to have the surgery necessary. Due to horrible swelling in the leg with the broken bones surgery had to be delayed. So for 2 weeks I was in limbo with 2 broken bones in my leg. I was in lots of pain and I just had to wait at home with my broken leg. All the while traveling back and forth for tests and presurgical appointments. It was brutal.

I was actually relieved to be able to finally go to the hospital and have the long surgery to repair the bones. Yes I was apprehensive as I had never had surgery before nor ever been a patient at the hospital and I was there for 4 nights and days. But I was so lucky. The staff, the surgeon, the nurses and everyone was super nice and while I know this is going to sound crazy it was overall a very pleasant experience despite the pain and nausea I experienced the entire time I was there. Lots of pain and nausea so that was quite unpleasant. But I will never forget the wonderful people at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. And I am forever grateful for the amazing and expert care I received there.

So I can add I love HSS and the wonderful staff. As well as the wonderful friend I made there. A friend for life.
My HSS roommate who lives many thousands of miles away. We still keep in touch.

So out of bad came good as is true with many experiences.



But to answer your question @mrs-b yes I was so relieved and happy to finally be able to go home after the surgery and hospital stay and start healing. It was a happy day despite being filled with nausea and pain like I had never experienced before. It was a long (8 month) haul where I was confined to being home most of the time and being non weight bearing for a full 4 months. For this active ADD person it was challenging but somehow I made it through and realized I was stronger than I had thought.

And of course I love Pricescope and PSers. Pricescopers are amazing and I have made friends here that I will forever cherish and adore. True friends who are there for me as I am them and yes good can and does come out of bad. Sometimes it is obvious and sometimes one has to look a little bit harder to find the good.


I love reading what you all love. Makes my heart sing. Thank you for sharing.
 
I love the new friends I’ve made on PS and been very fortunate enough to actually meet a few of them. They haven’t disappointed, they are as lovely, warm and supportive IRL as they are in the virtual world.

Huge ditto! Most of the PS friends I have met irl are wonderful! Including you sweet @Austina.
I have been fortunate enough to have met many lovely PSers so far and friends with them irl. Special people.
 
I love waking up early on days that I don't have to go to work!
I also love jewelry and PS
 
This thread is giving me all the warm cuddles!

-Having a truly lazy day on the weekend at home with my honey and our daughter just talking about life together, life before we met, existentialism, philosophy, religion, spirituality, cooking yummy food, playing exploding kittens, doing arts and crafts.

-The first few sips of my morning latte. (We are all obviously addicted as we each know the bliss of the first sip.) I only drink one caffeinated drink during the day and this is it. Strong espresso, steamed milk, dark chocolate chips, sugar, and lately some pink peppermint marshmallows with a sprinkling of cocoa powder even though the powder goes everywhere.

-The first rain when it hasnt in months in our desert landscape. It smells of rich petrichor but drier and mixes with the sweet scent of cacti and mesquite leaves.

-When my 5 year old reaches for my hand at night when I put her to bed and lay next to her and says quietly "I love you mama." She has to fall asleep with me next to her and us holding hands.

-Having alone time all to myself where I am free to meditate and go inside of my own mind. I have had too many epiphanies this way and each time I gain a better understanding of myself and gratitude for the life I live.

-I love experimenting with lucid dreaming and astral projection. The seemingly real magic in a world where most cease to believe that any exists.

-I love becoming obsessed with a new mineral or gemstone that I didnt know to exist. I will go on an information binge where I will try to learn as much as possible. & then save for one and when I attain it I will carry it with me for days.

-I love the meditative state that jewelry making puts me in and being able to see the end result.

-I love the silly clumsiness of camping with my little family and all of us sleeping in our tent at night. The smell of the wet forest surrounding us at night and how it feels so quiet and peaceful at night there.
 
Quiet morning. The purr of old cats. Fresh coffee. Rag wool socks. A fire rumbling away in the wood burning stove. Fresh loaves of rusticated sourdough, just pulled out, not cool enough to eat.... but the homemade butter is eager and the anticipation is like marzipan: delicious all by itself. The last of the summer nectarines mingle with new blueberries and hive honey and I’m blushing at being invited to their levity.

Evening on the island. The horizon at dusk, with stoic old forests indifferent to the chill, the blackening bay waves chattering amongst themselves, plotting to swallow the boats if they can motivate the winds to conspire. Forget the insipid dirty dishes; there’s some Tennyson still to ruminate, and one of the crows is bullying the Rosa Rugosa again. The rooms are empty and still, and the cold is creeping ever closer, until finally it enrobes the sofa and then reaches a steely clawed hand toward me. I retreat to the bed where the cats have quite sensibly nested for hours already, and politely, haltingly, insert myself under the duvet between them. Objections overruled, they muster a deep sighing purr or two and we are all gently snoring together.
 
I love genuine people. People who mean what they say. Whose actions reflect their words. Those are my kind of people. ❤️

Someone among us is quite the writer...
:love:
 
My kids.
The first sip of my soy and 1% latte that my DH makes.
Post workout high.
The feeling walking out of VCA with a new acquisition.
My family all under one roof.
My blunt friends.
Clothes with a 70s vibe.
Singer Songwriter mellow tunes also from the 70s.
80s color block.
Cashmere.
 
In no particular order.

Snuggles from my pets
The cat purring loudly while being cuddled
The smells coming out of the bakery around the corner of my house when I walk the dog
Crisp, bright and dry mornings with frost on the ground and bare branches
Winter sun
The skeletal look of bare branches
The feeling of having completed making the goodies for friends and family
Seasonal music
Participating in concerts for seasonal music
Preparing, cooking and eating the meals, sharing what I can with the pets
Being on my own with just the pets

Etc., etc...

Happy Holidays everyone.
