What are things that bring you joy?
Books. This year I’ve caught up with harry Dresden and Carl & doughnut. Piranesi was great. A solid recommend. Sanderson’s Tailored Realities was a nice collection of snapshots into different parts of his universe
Dungeon Crawler Carl has to be one of my top two favorite reads in the last year (I’d give it the top spot, but Red Rising was also really good)! It’s a struggle to convey just what makes it so good, but it’s been a fantastic ride. I can’t wait for the next book in May!
Looking forward to the new book! DCC 😁
I started the first book February 3rd after a podcaster I listen to casually mentioned it and said it was a great read. I’m on the 7th book now 😂
Speedball lines of opiates and cocaine.
That’ll do it.
Books, good food, a good laugh, and my best friend. These are things that come to mind straight away, but there are certainly many others!
Helping others, having friendly interactions with people (online and offline), birds landing on your outstretched hand, when a happy dog looks up at you with their happy smiles, when a cat comes to see you after the owner says “She’s nervous around strangers”,… A solid sleep and feeling refreshed in the morning.
A good coffee, a cold drink on a hot day, when a seed has sprouted in my garden, a hefty burrito, a heavy thunderstorm, sunshine after days of rain, the cooling 5PM breeze on a stinking hot day, ibuprofen working on a headache, when you go shopping and one of the first things you try on fits really well so you don’t have to shop for hours, the first run down the hill (snow), when you come across a steal of a deal on something you’ve been wanting,… Too many to name.
What doesn’t bring me joy is when I need cold water from the tap and hot water comes out, or if the empty toilet roll hasn’t been replaced. 💀
Every morning my two youngest kids (under 5) get up around 7:00 AM. The first thing they want to do is sit on my lap in the recliner while I either read to them or turn on one of their TV shows and we just chill for an hour. We do this every day and it’s my favorite part of the day.
Mostly alcohol, and @urheber@discuss.tchncs.de
Edit: My cat too
Yey, love you !!
You’d never guess, but i love you too
Music
Toddlers. Seeing toddlers stumbling about and discovering their world is fascinating to me.
Similar but different, we have a kitten and it’s funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don’t use it that often and I guess he hadn’t seen it in action before.
When I met my wife, she loved going to theaters to see kids see something amazing for the first time.
She’s so wonderful.
I’m a simple man… I see a cat and I pet it. This makes the brain produce the happy juice.
Camping, hiking, a crackling fire, being outdoors. Sunshine, snow, rain, winter. Beaches, mountains, forests. Skipping stones on a lake. Pottery, programming, puzzles. Good coffee, good tea, and hot drinks in general (esp. Feuerzangenbowle!). And probably more?
Taking the bus. Just sitting and being able to have my thoughts for myself. Also walking.
Computer games but I really need to play less digital games and more analog games instead. Both have an enormous backlog but at least I have stopped buying more… Digital games.
I like the digital ones because I severely lack the space for analog ones besides my RPG shelf hahaha.
Books, cats, coffee and drawing/painting. I could also say “working”, as my job is reading, learning and being amazed (I’m a biologist).
Cooking and eating.
I had a nice little walk today

Not having to go to work, quit work at 40, am now 60.
How did you do it?
