Walking outside when it is dark and peaceful

Sitting beside rivers on a nice day.

The stars.

Meditation.

Sounds heavenly.

A first kiss after a long period of doubting one's chances of connecting with someone else.

I'm not sure I'd call that a "small" pleasure. Good one, though.

I came here to say: Cheese.

Chocolate
Torrential Rainstorms
That one month of summer where every hedge and tree in my county is overgrown, and it's almost 30 degrees.
Late night parties in my friends garden by the river
Walking home in -20; the stars are very clear on a cold night.

Having missed the train, I'm glad I could call on a co-worker to drive in with me. The bonus is he offered to drive.

The sights and sounds of a fire engine
Rainy days
Thunderstorm nights
Fireplaces
Cool Autumn nights
Crown & Coke
Bonfire with apples tossed in
My red plaid flannel jacket that everyone hates but me
My husband's brown leather bombers jacket
Long drives
The Smokey Mountains
Nashville, TN
The sound of the ocean at night when you can hear it, but cannot see it
Artichoke leaves with hollandaise sauce
Fresh salmon sushi
Dierks Bentley's voice
Canon in D Minor
jersey cotton bedsheets
The smell of coconut and lime
McD's Shamrock Shake
Handmade soap (Darkside Soap and Rocky Top Soap are my favorite soapmakers)
Finishing a project

Seconded, as long as the power dose not go out.

Florida+summer = rain/high temperatures

Then I guess the small pleasure would be - thunderstorm nights with proper power supply

The smell of rain after a warm dry spell

The smell of fresh cut grass

A cat's purr

Standing in a field in the middle of nowhere, with the only noise coming from birds and other wildlife.

Watching meteorites in August

The dawn chorus in April

Bluebells

Daffodils

Fields of daisies

The noise of a new book arriving through my letterbox

A cup of green tea with lemon

A bouncing guinea pig on the lawn

The sound of a babbling brook

The arrival of house martins (last Friday)

Geese flying overhead and honking

Beeflies

Orange tip butterflies

Planting vegetable seeds

the feel of a man's jawline stubble tickling my skin as he kisses my neck
that cool sensation of drinking a cold coca-cola classic after eating a peppermint patty candy
the smell of the beach on my skin after leaving the beach
the rustle of the leaves in the wind
knowing the perfect thing to say at the perfect time and saying it
having someone tell you the perfect thing at the perfect time
throwing something across a room and it landing where it was supposed to go
completing the day's To Do list
getting the house clean
finishing a sudoku in record time
finding an affordable outfit that looks good on me
the moments when I feel like all is right with the world

Making a homemade pizza with my dad
Riding in the car with my mom
Thinking of a joke only I would "get" and laughing about it
A song ending on my iPod the same second I walk in the door after running
Snuggling with my cat and all the sensory wonders that come with it, such as her soft fur, her scent which smells like the outdoors, and the tingly vibrations of her purring.
Getting into bed after shaving my legs. Bonus points if the sheets are fresh.
Finding a reference to one of my special interests in popular culture
Having a dream about one of my special interests
Receiving things I ordered online in the mail
When everyone in my house is in a good mood at the same time
The smell of freshly-cut grass
Hearing my favorite hymn during Mass ("You Are Mine" by David Haas)
