laying in bed listening to the rain falling on an iron roof

the smell of a gum tree on a hot day

the laughter of children especially the giggle of a little girl - that always touches me and brings a special feeling of tranquility

brushing my cheek against his scruffier one in my sleep

Laying in a warm bed listening to winter weather do its worse outside. Or sitting in the car with everything off in a rainstorm listening to the rain on the roof while whatching it run down the windows

going home and putting my pjs on. Thats the reason I work, so that I can go home and slip into something more comfortable

holding my children and reading to them

car dancing

knowing he's waiting for me

Please try and describe the smell of a gum tree for me Grumble. Would the dried leaves have the same scent if you brought some with you? Or....do they flower...and that is the scent you are speaking of? I spose I could look it up...but they have yet to invent smellavision.

I love this thread! It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling....lol!

falling asleep in the arms of the one you love

One of mine and the most important is just having sex of all types with my wife.

Anouther is just sitting outside or walking in the woods on a nice warm summer day and soaking in the beauty of nature, the sounds, smells, ect.

curling up on the couch under a blanket

I would think that the leaves would have to be green, the heat evaporates the eucalytus oil in certain gum trees and creates a lovely eucalpyt scent in the air.

In very hot places with a high population of gums, the air turns a bluish colour which means extreme fire danger as a fire and a flammable atmosphere (full of eucalypt oil) can cause explosive fires of the worst kind. Naturally for this type of atmosphere to accumulate, it needs to be a still day. Wind disperses the evaporated oils

SImple pleasures?

* Cooking a really good meal for people you love
* Curling up with a good book under the warm covers near a fire
* Giving someone a compliment and making them smile
* Dancing to some really good music -- the kinda dance you do when no one else is around
* Making love mid-day

Doing a little girl's hair (I did three today...none of which were my own.) :)

Knowing friends are sending you hugs, even when you're not nearby.

Eating a meal your partner has just prepared for you.
Distracting someone in bed who is trying to read whilst the fire burns.
Receiving a compliment and having the grace to smile.
Watching your lover dance the way she does when only you are around.
Having a lover who seduces you in the middle of the day.

standing near orgasmic in Wilson's

hearing the words you've wanted to hear for so long

Wilson's?

Holding your baby in your arms while he sleeps...even if he's almost as big as you are now.

(leather store and it's going out of business, great $$:D)


the smell of coconut reminding me that summer is not far behind

how winter makes me appreciate spring

Having my hair combed by his fingers

Starting an evening with 9 complete strangers and after a little nip of butterscotch schnapps with our coffee (yes I am corrupting them) and a couple rounds of Bunco finding myself in a room filled with friends.

<----is *very* happy about that ^^^

someone thinking you have a nice voice, when you are in awe of her's

A good cup of coffee on the back porch.
Lying on the couch snuggled next to a wonderful woman while watching a movie.
Sleeping late.
Taking a bath with a beautiful woman.
Walking hand in hand through a field or through the woods.
Playing with my kids.

A luxurious stretch in bed, while naked, with the morning sunlight warming you

seeing a tread that I started shortly after I first started has been bumped and is going strong

lying in his arms, talking, and having him reach up to caress my face

reaching out to hold hands instinctively

A warm shower
Fresh sheets
Holding my wife in my arms

telling a growing young woman how beautiful she is, and having her believe it

Finding out my daughter is going to have a baby in October. :)

my son, wanting to give me a hug

*bump*

cuddling up with kleclere on the bed, watching "Friends" on DVD

being entrusted with important things

(similar to that ^^^^)

My boss/friend making me in charge of the office, by myself, for half of last week.

Snuggling on the couch with the one you love
My daughter telling me she loves me out of the blue
Having freshly ground coffee waiting for me ;o)

A hug from the Mrs that I didn't initiate.

taking a long hot bath
