Get a bird bath! I can't tell you how much joy it brings me watching them splash around! Your cat will probably enjoy watching them from the window as well.

Sitting on my sofa in a warm sunbeam while scrolling dcurbanmom.com and drinking a hot cup of coffee. Bliss.

I get what you’re saying. Just interpret it as joy. Simple joy is enough.

Traveling. Even just driving to my next destination makes me happy. Hate the plane ride, though.

Unexpected, cool stuff in nature. Like happening upon a neat ice formation, or a not-normally seen critter. The periodical cicadas in 2021 brought me great joy.

Also, planning a trip, taking the trip with my family, and then going through the photos we took later.
