my home i pull in the drive way and see my window box full of the most beautifl flowers and a box picture window with a white cat looking out at me with a meow meow it is like a post card everytime i see it.
the demented cat flops on my chest chest when im frozen with another problem that came up today and thinking and praying as he lays down and pulls his arms around my neck im happy and know we will be ok.
shopping with my two year old grand!
meeting folks who understand what life is and love ya anyway.
angels.
coffee.
talking with my kids and eating a food we never had before.
visting my parents knowing they are safe and happy and well.
listening to a teaching tape.. sorry if that hurts you.
and my fantasy game that i have bult up over a year.. feeding the dragons and doing new quests!
For the cutesy answer, when I get home from work and my daughter looks up at my and smiles really big. My wife has a nice smile too, but nothing beats a baby's smile, especially my daughter's.
For the fun answer, I like to get laid. I know that sounds crude, but that does make me pretty happy even if I'm having a bad day. I have more of a problem with anger than depression, so that's a good way to get rid of any anger I might have.
For more socially acceptable answers, I also like to hang out with friends or family, because it's always good to surround yourself with those that care about you. This can be bittersweet as you remember those that are no longer with you, or those who simply couldn't make it.
It's also fun to drink, which is a default response for an Irishman. We've been drinking more wine lately and less beer and whiskey.
Monkeys, because, let's just face it. Monkeys are funny.
I also am partial to a good practical joke. I've been known to pull a few here and there. The more complex, and the more victims, the better.
(Hubby's elderly aunt just got placed in a good nursing home. PHEW! We're breathing a little easier now that she's out of the hospital, which she hated!)

The baby thing (laughing, happy babies and chillens) do well for me... which is why I volunteer at a children's shelter...
The Dbacks doing well can help sometimes... :)

Children are a masterpiece from any angle. Definitely one of the wonders of the world.
Praying/speaking in tongues a good read all help.
Sometimes just going to sleep and giving it a rest.

Fourth, I quess "good beer".

Pond, I love your description of your window boxes/flowers and cat. That sounds pristine, serene.
Geo, it'll come to you. It will. Give it some time. One thing I know you love is to make people laugh--and you're good at it!
I love:
getting away for 2 or 3 days in a different town
going out in a boat in warm weather
blueberry zonker
breakfast on the veranda
my backyard
reading a good mindless book
scallops/other seafood sautéed in butter
cooking for good friends

Really appreciating the family I've been able to "really" connect with since leaving TWI.
Family reunions
Coming home to the squirt who thinks I'm the most awesome person in the whole wide world
A good book on CD for my daily commute
Mowing MY yard at MY house and coming in to MY kitchen for a tall glass of ice water
Peace of mind and freedom to make my own decisions without having to get approval from some legalistic arsehole

At the risk of sounding really shallow.....uh what the heck?
Driving my car (where I want to go) with my Ipod plugged in, playing what I want to hear, all by my own self, makes me really happy.
(I love my kids, husband, dog, cats, mom, family etc. I'm just really happy to not be with them 24/7. :B)
Spoken like a true mom I guess..... :wub: )
