What brings you joy?I've been thinking about this question, and my answers - as perhaps befits someone with Taurus on the ascendent - are mostly of the body.
sex ~ massage ~ dancing ~ swimming, preferably outside, preferable naked ~ eating good food ~ laughing ~ being outside, hiking or camping ~ a good yoga class ~ ritual ~ art ~ doing things with herbs ~ my dog ~ an excellent bookstore, especially a feminist bookstore ~ good music ~ delicious smells ~ beautiful clothes ~ open-hearted connection with another person ~ flowers ~ oils and potions ~ books ~ ideas ~ my sweet life partner ~ cuddling ~ waterfalls ~ lakes and oceans ~ tarot ~ lying on the earth
Sensate, sensual connection with the earth, and with spirit, body, and heart, brings me joy.

Thank you for this post, it was my inspriation for opening a blog.
Joy is often physical for me as well; excellent food, sex, a wonderful comfy clean bed.
Often joy is maternal.
Sometimes joy is just a wave of knowing I'm alive; being outside on a nice day, seeing a flock of birds overhead, waking up in the morning and making coffee in my favorite nightie. Just being.
Sometimes my life sucks and I am surprised at how overcome by the pleasure of being I can become.
Ooo, yes, clean sheets! How I love clean sheets.
Joy, that is a wonderful compliment, thank you. I'll be visiting.
thank you for posting this ...
lately I have been enmessed in depression and I think that a list of my own of things that bring me joy may serve as a good reminder of the blessings in my life
Blessed be

I love the heat and scent of my lover's body first thing in the morning, freshly laundered bed linen, hot real coffee bubbling away in the kitchen, hot buttered toast making my fingers greasy...
I'm such a sensualist but that's not to be confused with hedonist. All my pleasures are grounded in a love of life. x
