A “pleasure list”
The long holiday is over in a blink of an eye, are you still happy during the holiday? “Relaxation” is very popular on the Internet during this time. It must be that we are too relaxed, and life is so difficult that when we are happy, we become uneasy – something bad will happen to me soon, right?
But life still has to go on. If you don’t want to be swallowed up by that bagel-like dark matter, and if you don’t want to surrender to a limited life, it is a healing method to write down the moments that make you happy. Today, I asked my writer friends to share some small things that made me feel happy recently, hoping to provide you with the joyful energy to face the uncertain future, at least to conquer tomorrow’s work.

01
Finally finished writing a short story (the more intense feeling after writing a long story is complete collapse).
02
It was snowing outside, and the fireplace lit smoothly and quickly (as in Lightyear, the wood crackled like a gunshot).
03
After watching one of my favorite movies (Dreyer’s “The Holy Word”, Tarkovsky’s “Sacrifice”, Hong Sang-soo’s “Freedom Hill”, Rossellini’s “Europe 51”, Hamaguchi Ryusuke “happy hour”, Cassavetes “Women Influenced”…).

The yard suddenly smelled sweet-scented osmanthus blooming.

Looking for files on the computer, I inadvertently found the photos of my son when he was a child, so I started to look through them one by one.

Late summer nights, sitting on a cool patio, drinking a cold beer in the dark, suddenly feel empty and full of expectations.
07
Before getting up or going to bed, restrain yourself from using your phone to start or end your day.

Reading Lawrence’s “The Sea and Sardinia” before going to bed, I laughed out loud alone.

Spent most of the day cleaning, exhausted but can feel the house is happy.

Coming out of church on Sunday, everything seemed to have changed in some subtle and unspeakable way, and the world—or this self—seemed to be different.

With a certain passion for a French wet kiss, into an inner, personal, smoky revolution.
07
Read, read by the fire, read in the shade of a tree on a sunny day, read before going to sleep or dying.
08
Use a foreign language as the key to open those heavy doors hidden behind cultural barriers and see the commonality of human beings.
09
Standing under the dome of a church or temple, with the sun shining on the ground, feel every prayer around you, every tiny wave of suffering.
10
In the dream, restore a fish meatball that I liked to eat when I was a child, restore every crack in it and the rich aroma that penetrates into the crack.

Just like accepting a pair of ordinary-looking bowls and chopsticks, accept your ordinary, dull and flawed self.
15
It takes half a day to collect wild fruits on the roadside, and another half day to make jam, and then deliver the jam to the neighbor’s door one by one after dinner.

When receiving the invitation to ask how many words to write, Wu Qi replied that it is simple to write.
02
The new book “East and West” is finally coming out. This is a collection of travel notes written between 2016 and 2018. It took a long time to submit the manuscript, and the process was very painful. Now I can finally be happy.

Every time I go to work at the zoo, I pass by the Meerkat Pavilion, and I can’t help but watch it for a while every time I commute to get off work. Meerkat is so funny. Yes, recently I was “experiencing life” at the zoo.
06
Yesterday, I was walking around with my hands behind my back at the zoo, and suddenly I saw a few workers plowing on the construction site of the venue. When I looked again, it turned out that the director of the park was working with his colleagues! Excitedly and enthusiastically, I waved to the principal, joined them, and moved bricks all afternoon. Work makes people happy.
Movie “My Family Bought a Zoo”

Staring at the river in a daze. On the Iowa campus, sitting under the bridge, this position is relatively hidden, sitting here drinking coffee and watching the river in a daze, makes people forget their worries.
02
Going to play squash with friends. We always meet at night on the way to the gym or in front of the gym and play. It feels so good to be overwhelmed.
03
Look at the tree. The University of Iowa has a lot of old trees and it’s nice to see them. Sometimes squirrels can be seen climbing trees. Lying under a tree, turning pages, listening to songs, completely forgetting where you are.
The movie “Good Will Hunting”

Found a nice piece of indie music that I hadn’t heard before.

I went to the second-hand store for an afternoon and found nothing before I left. I found a shirt from a brand I liked hanging in front of the counter. It was still very suitable for me, so I bought it.

Almond scented soap. Full-fat plain yogurt. Unsweetened cereal. A real cup of coffee.
