That warm and fuzzy feeling

Kissing a giggling infant...

The memory of coming up from underwater at the beach at age 6, making eye contact with a boy who had the deepest blue eyes I've ever seen, and hearing him giggle.

35 years later, it still warms my heart.

Being snuggly on the sofa with hubby and watching a movie while the wind howls outside.

Peeking at the clock and seeing that you've still got two hours left to sleep.

the way my parents' house smells at the holidays

the way my husband dries off after a shower

watching the first few snow flakes fall

socks (when my feet are cold)

Waking up in the middle of the night wondering why I'm so toasty, and then realizing it's because there's a pair of almost-six-year-olds snuggled up against me.

Willie Nelson says (something like), "Do you know why God made babies so cute? So we won't kill them".

Baby animals. Humans, sure, but most infant mammals elicit the same "Awww" feeling. I'm pretty sure Mother Nature hard-wires that into us.

Funny this thread should crop up, as 'warm' and 'fuzzy' were the exact words I used to describe the feeling I got yesterday when:

A friend of mine, GT came up to me and said, "Do you remember when you had MH staying with you this spring? Well I got talking to her and she was saying how hospitable you were, that you couldn't do enough and she was amazed at your kindness. I always meant to tell you, because I think when someone says something nice about you, it's good to know, isn't it? But she said you were so hospitable and made sure she had everything she needed."

Aww.

Mine's kind of like that.
One of my favorite warm and fuzzy feelings comes from someone paying a compliment from a long time ago that helped them get through something. It is especially nice when whatever it was seemed quite inconsequential at the time, or is something I do all the time and don't think too much about doing.

That, and remembering being woken up in the hospital in the stillness of the night when my boys were newly born to feed them. That connection between two people for no other reason than just being. They couldn't earn my love, or not earn my love- it was just there.

warm? fuzzy?


Nice clean jammies hot from the dryer....aaaahhh....

What things cross your mind that give you that "warm and fuzzy feeling?"

Ahhhhhh..... putting on my underwear right after they get out of the dryer....

ETA: LOL! I didn't even see your post Unique!

A peach that's been sitting on the radiator?

My hamster after I've ironed him?

Notice, he said dryer. Not the wash...... left your chest open man, I couldn't help it.

Seeing my doggie at our screen door first thing in the morning, waiting to be let into the house. And hearing him grunt contently when he's been given a rub-down

The sound of rain on the roof while I'm in bed with my hubby in the afternoon...

Waking up to my little buddy (my son) in the bed next to me...

My dog snoring on the floor next to me...

Just a few *grin*

My kids when their asleep. So quiet.

Warm and Fuzzy? Hmm...
A lot of what you all have said, but I'll break it down.
a. Kissing an infant on puffy lil' cheeks. (they always smell so good)
b. Watching the snow fall through a large window pane, while sipping hot cocoa
c. Cotton Jammies and fresh just washed bed linen with a jumbo pillow
d. Barnes and Noble early around 8ish, before the crowd arrives, a venti cafe mocha, and a corner to snuggled in one of those well sunken sofas.
e. Summer Breezes
f. Children playing
f. A man that can cook for me! ( aww... well that's a wish!)

Well, why would I put them in the wash when they haven't even developed any holes yet?
