It's fair to say I'm probably a glass is half empty person a lot of the time. Not unhappy by any means and I have a really fantastic life, but sometimes I need to stop and think about the good things.

In GD (and I dread to think what happens in GH) we spend a lot of time speccing washing machines, arguing about flaming ***** monsters and mocking the afflicted, but why don't we take a moment to talk about the good things in life?

What makes us happy? My family certainly does, my children are a hoot but I'll save that for later if others join in.

My dogs give me so much and take relatively little. Dogs and humans have no right to work as well as we do together, but it is a perfect relationship. Show them love and get it back with a multiplier effect.

Snowboarding is a big love for me. A lot of my life is structured around it and riding powder has to be one of the best feelings you can have. At least 6 of the best moments I can remember have been in the mountains (I have two kids and I am married so somewhere in the top 10 those days have to be and I wouldn't like the wife to press me too much on where my wedding day would sit in there.)

So GDers, share some feel good stuff with us. What thrills you and makes you feel ace?
 
I have just learnt how to snowboard, I love going along to the snowdome for an hour or two, such a thrill when you fly down the slope.

Would love to have a weekend away next year at a ski resort.
 
My Wife, our cats (sometimes), our house, running and my work. I am like you though OP, the eternal pessimist.

I need to add music to that list, feeling bad whack some Bon Scott era AC/DC and just laugh, the man was a genius.
 
Stelly your dog is adorable!

Mine would be the mountains in general, winter or summer... getting married there next summer we love being there so much. Just where all my worries float away

We went to Scotland with her this year and the first photo was when she saw her first owl, she really wanted to play with it :)

That is a lovely dog Stelly. My dogs 'played' with their second fox last week! Poor thing. The smooth one has brain damage so is a rubbish hunter, the other one, a one dog wolf pack.
 
Wish i could get a dog we live in a rented house and not allowed one :(

The GF, anything geeky and Lasagna.

Im a easy to please guy :)

Mamma i hope you dont take offense but the guy in the middle could have made abit for of an effort. Its like hes the photographer and you asked him to join in. :D

She is fantastic but gets bullied by next doors cat lol :D

We're getting a dog in the new year. I can't wait. :D

Should also make me happy.

Dogs are great fun but need lots of attention and walks I walk mine three times a day and she still has lots of energy at the end :)
