e.g. apple pie, the works of Flaubert, buying new clothes, sweet lemon tea, swimming in the ocean in the middle of winter. preferably more specific stuff than 'friends' etc, cos that doesn't mean much!

wow---great question! :-) I could type quite a list, as the "little things" are what truly make me happiest.
Watching my son sleep has got to be right up at the top of the list (he's almost 9, so during the day he's pretty much a blur! LOL! But when he's sleeping, sometimes just staring at him, touching his face like I did when he was a baby, hearing him breathe....it brings me to tears.)
Another recent example----& this is gonna sound pretty twisted, I'm sure----but it touched me. My fiance & I bought a home together last year. SOmewhere along the line, I evidently made the comment that I don't like the toilet seat in our bathroom. We were shopping the other day @ Home Depot, & he surprised me with one of those nice, cushy toilet seats!!! :-) :-) LOL! He does stuff like that alot; coming home w/ some little thing---usually something small that I'd forgotten I ever mentioned.
There are myriad little things on a daily basis that make me happy.
Guess I'm pretty blessed.

A kind word from someone, making somebody laugh, stolen glances between me and a woman, a woman putting her hand on my shoulder during a conversation, sitting outside during a driving rainstorm, being lulled to sleep by the sound of the rain on a tin roof, waking after a beautiful dream and the feeling lingering, the face of a woman deep in thought.............

Waking up knowing I get to spend another great day with my wonderful hubby.
The love I get from my three dogs and two cats.
A special song that comes on the radio that my dad and I share.
Snow really makes me excited. I live in Kansas now, I use to live in Maine, so anytime it snows I go outside and watch it snow for a bit. It's the most wonderful thing to me. lots of lil things make me happy. lol.

I get a feeling of happiness when something makes me more secure about my future. It could be a financial reward or job I get. It could also be a complement or action by my girl friend that makes me more secure about the relationship. Hot summer like we are having now also makes me happy.
