Ahhh or Feel Good Moments

I was happy tagged last week by Debra St. John at Acme Authors Link. Since I've already done a happy blog and tagged off, today will be a variation, with no tags involved.

Today is about my feel good moments, which I call Ahhh moments. They're kind of like happy, but not as deep. Here are they are:

1. Seeing a cute baby or puppy.

2. Having a teller or supermarket register open up after I've been waiting in a long line.

3. Sitting down after standing for a while.

4. Stepping into where it's warm after being out in the cold, or vice versa, stepping into a cool place after being out in the heat.

5. Feeling the shower water on my back.

6. Getting out early from work on a day before a holiday.

7. Thinking up a fun topic for my blog.

8. Landing a book signing at a store. Hand in hand with that is selling one of my books.

9. Taking off my boots or shoes and putting on my slippers at home.

10.Having a cool drink when I'm thirsty.


Now it's your turn. What are your Ahhh moments? Do you share some of mine? Remember, they don't have to be deep, just feel good moments. Please share.

    I'll ditto the slippers and getting to sit down for awhile.
    MY Ahhh moment would be feeling the heater warm up the room after working all night long in the cold(frozen food) Relaxing at a nice blog with my coffee next to the puter' Unwinding with a good movie while eating lunch/dinner/breakfast? After working all night I don't know what to call my one meal? Getting an extra hours worth of sleep is the best Ahhh in the universe

  5. Morgan,
    I'll go with all ten of yours and add: getting off the stationary bicycle after pedaling for an hour; and stepping into the sunshine on a mild, beautiful morning.

    My Ahh moments would be actually enjoying an hour of uniterrupted reading. (Hard to acquire with the twins running amuck.)

    Spending time with my mom and dad steeped in 'adult' conversation. Who thought I would live for those moments when I was younger?

  14. 1. Slipping into clean sheets and knowing I don't have to be up early.
    2. Making my husband or son laugh. (The other day, my son actually said, "I wish I had a video camera to record you sometimes.")
    3. Scratching my mare's neck while she lays her nose against my chest - it's the definition of contentment.
    4. Watching my gelding in the show ring - he's so gorgeous.
    5. Seeing my book cover - soon it will be published!

  15. Great topic, Morgan! Mine are:

    1. My almost 16 year old son still hugging me in front of his friends.

    2. My morning wake up ritual with my dog, Sam.

    3. Snuggling under my down comforter on a cold night.

    4. Being greeted by my fur/feather kids like I'm the most important person in the world-and I've only been gone 15 minutes!

    5. Watching a thunderstorm.

    Mine all have to do with sleeping:

    1. Getting into a clean bed wearing clean pajamas after a hot shower.
    2. Resting my face on the cooler side of the pillow.
    3. Having my husband wake me up by massaging my scalp.
