    1) The feel of my 4 year old daughters hand snuggled in mine when we're walking somewhere
    2) Playing in the water with my kids
    3) Puppies and Kittens (lol - not so much dogs and cats though :happy: )
    4) When my 12 year old actually listens . . . very rare occurance!
    5) When gas prices actually go down . . . also very rare!
    6) Riding horses, canoeing, hiking, rafting - being outside in nature away from the city
    7) Accomplishing things that are new or difficult - battling my inherent shyness and winning!!
    8) Girls night out:drinker:
    9) Going out dancing with dh
    10) A good book and a comfy chair on a rainy day - preferably with hot cocoa!
    11) finishing a cross stitch piece and framing it myself
    12) a house filled with the chatter and laughter of good friends and family
    13) walking around the lake at sunset
    14) camping - frying fresh caught brook trout for breakfast!! (note to self - renew fishing license!)
    15) MFP!!!

    This is the best thread!! Thanks - made me smile and stop and focus on the good for awhile. All warm and fuzzy now!!! (((hugs)))

    I like this topic!!!! Here is my ten in no order whatsoever:
    1. sunshine
    2. ANYTHING to do outdoors(hiking fishing running a trail ANYTHING!!!)
    3. animals(especially my three lil boys and wolves...)
    4. Good quality dark chocolate and a tie with italian food
    5. kids(I don't have them yet) but they are so cute and innocent so are oldsters!!!
    6. popcorn and a good movie(especially an indie flick)
    7. any song that makes me wanna get up and dance(pretty much just music makes me happy)
    8. a LETTER(not email text call) from a old college friend/old friend in general
    9. the first snow of winter(after that I hate it, cause its too cold)
    10. Sports especially FOOTBALL, SOCCER and HOCKEY!!!!

    Of course since you said other than wt loss I was gonna say a runners high and that "you look great" compliment from people...they kinda fall under the wt loss thing, so I avoided them and I am glad everyone said sunshine(almost) and there is something nice about a summer thunderstorm especially how it looks right before like nature is unleashing a beautiful fury upon you....

    Freshly mowed grass

    The first rumblings of a thunderstorm

    Baby giggles

    My dog singing to the old hymn Alleluia

    Mr. Bean and Bertie Wooster

    Watching my teens build sand castles on the beach (together.... cooperating)

    Knowing I've made someone else happy

    Knowing I only scraped the car on a tree instead of hitting it outright... oh, that's relief, not happiness
