    Most everything I think of has to do with moving my body, even things that aren't considered exercise....:wink:

    So I will say watching a really great musical!

    Making participants groan when I teach Yoga/Pilates at the gym
    Jumping on a trampoline
    Doing a perfect jete leap... and I get to think "I've still got it!"

    Performing a random act of kindness.

    A nice manicure.

    A new lipstick.

    Flirting.

    The way my dogs greet me as if I'd been gone a year when I've only been out of the house for 10 minutes!

    My nephews (aged 2, 13 weeks and 7 weeks)
    My little cat - she is a sweetie
    My balcony - I planted from seedlings this year and everything is thriving! Shame we've not had the weather to eat al fresco

    A good book, snuggling up with the OH to watch a good DVD and fitting into my 'skinny' clothes also cheer me up lots!!

    Visiting my pet pigeon brings me immense joy :smooched: He is staying at a wonderful (One of the greatest people I have met tbh) friends house until I finish college, or at least finish studying abroad. I love my pigeon so much...I found him when he was a young child, after being attacked by someone (someone had been killing pigeons in the area for a while)...he survived, but was in awful condition and the bird vet told me he would never be able to survive in the wild again...
    so i happily kept him.

    I'll always remember how when I tried saving him, he tried dragging his body on the ground and tried flying and plumeted to the cement...he was so helpless and scared. He would wake up frightened, and didn't trust me when he was eating...

    BUT then he grew strong and demanding. He would demand to sleep in my bed with me, sit on my head when I cooked, sit in my lap when we watched movies. :heart: We would play games, and go for walks :ohwell:

    My pigeon is amazing...I even consider him my son :happy:

    I love this - this is my favourite reply so far.

    My quick thrill would be making myself coffee when I'm working towards a deadline (e.g. an essay). It's something about having something so warming and smooth to ease you through the early hours of relentless scribbling...

    The dark side: I have had to cut back to 4 coffees a day. I was exceeding 20 cups to get the same 'quick thrill' as I did in the beginning. I try and savour them more now, and hopefully my willpower will last a while longer :)
