1. When I call to the backyard squirrel and she comes running to her favorite tree because she knows I'm putting walnuts out for her. She is wild, not domesticated or trained, but she knows me.

2. Organizing the house, and making any kind of small lasting improvement that will be there day after day.

3. The soft, warm thud of my cat, as she decides to collapse against my leg on the couch.

4. The tradition of Friday date nights with my husband, especially when there's a new season of Black Mirror to watch.

5. When I do something with my acrobatics partner that neither of us can do alone (which is basically all acro), and I feel the physical cooperation of that.

You post makes me want to share the small things that give me happiness:

1. My cats, because they are so friendly and loving

2. Walking along the canal and watching all the birds

3. Singing in choir(s)

4. Figuring out new technologies, especially when I can make something fictional into reality

I'd encourage anyone else to share the things that make them happy in the spirit of this post.
