When you bring home a hot rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and you snack on the wings as you're breaking it down. I always cackle like Leeloo from The Fifth Element, "Chicken! GOOD chicken!"

I bought a fucking cardboard ghost jail from Ghostbusters.

It is incredibly stupid and I love it.

Going through old photos and thinking of the joy of those moments - like getting an equally cute & weird picture of Elsie the cat. Picking 3 very specific things I'm grateful for also helps. Neil Pasricha's #1000 awesome list is specific & helpful. https://1000awesomethings.com/the-top-1000/

--Nature: wildlife documentaries, camping vlogs.

Walks. I am the Couch Potato King, but taking walks, saying hi to neighbors, etc is terrific.

Dog walkers walking lots of dogs. How do they do that? I got tennis elbow the last time I walked one little dog.

Seafood. Especially octopus. Those big platters you can get around most of the Mediterranean where they just grill today's catch in garlic butter. Fritto Misto anywhere in Italy.

I walk a dog every morning. He is a very good listener and never judges me. His name is Benji. His full name is Benjamin Franklin. But I only call him that when he goes after a squirrel.

Connecting with joyful people! Sometimes it’s just simple as sending a random funny video to someone who I know has a great laugh and waiting for their reaction

I recommend @buitengebieden.bsky.social for your timeline.

Separately: I'm an introvert, but good interactions with humans are still pretty good! I'm a big fan of hugs.

Making others laugh.

Live music. The smaller the venue the better. The energy of a band, or solo artist, reflected and amplified by an enthusiastic audience is soul food! Always pulls me back from the edge.

Watching people on YouTube react to first-time-listens of songs I also enjoy, meditating on philosophical questions, learning new things about a subject outside my wheelhouse.

marybaum.bsky.social•49 days ago

Overheads, especially backhand overheads, and approach-volley drills. Rare steak, homemade fudge sauce. Switch statements for some reason make me giddy. And certain Blender commands.

Oh! Outlining all the strokes in Illustrator

Optimism isn't a forte of mine... but I try to be grateful for all I do have and give thanks for everything that I've been through (good as well as bad) that eventually led me to where I am.

Family, food/cooking for others, my home, nature...

Diving into music rabbit holes. Bike rides and walks and workouts. Being totally silly with my kids. Making coffee for my wife. Tattoos. Basketball. The texture on a brand new snare drum head. Wearing my fav sneakers with a whole fit I made for em. The sun.

Freshly ground coffee and a comfy chair.

The feeling of your muscles unwinding after hard work.

A long standing stretch involving my whole back after office work.

A flower blooming after watching it grow.

The light shining through a dusty window.

Seeing someone take pride in their work.

Get out in nature every day. I walk every morning and after work with my dogs. Find and take pictures of tiny (or larger) beautiful things you see that bring you joy. Share the pictures with others spread that joy around.
