What makes you happy?

upstatedoc · 08-06-2014, 07:17 PM

We have 1st world problems and what gets to you threads now lets post what makes you happy. I'll go first. My wife made beef stroganoff for dinner and the smell hit me as soon as I walked into the garage. I've been burping it up ever since and enjoying it over and over again.

Long walks in the park...tra-la-la-la-la

Golf. As a whole, I lead a fairly blessed existence, but when I'm on the golf course, regardless of how I'm playing, I can seemingly forget about everything else going on in my life.

cars and driving duh

Good idea for some positivity, doc!

I enjoy hitting the gym HARD after a stressful day in the office, pushing myself and breaking plateaus. It makes me feel like I've done something productive and positive with some energy I might otherwise use negatively.

I like the beach and relaxing with some sun and an ice cold beer.

I like getting home and having my dogs race to the door to greet me.

Traveling makes me happy too, I just wish I had time to do it more

This thread makes me happy.

Made a similar thread a while back and everyone started calling me gay.

I think one of the best days I've ever had is when my wife and I stumbled on this picturesque vineyard in the middle of Tuscany. We bought their best bottle, ordered a charcuterie platter and just overlooked the vineyard and enjoyed each others company until the sun went down.

Spending two hours doing yard work. Then sitting back with a beer and watching the finished product.

Washing and waxing the car then watching it glisten and shine in the daylight

Agree. This is a major reason why I become miserable in the winter.

M_Six · 08-07-2014, 09:21 AM

New photography gear. But then the high wears off and I need more. GAS is an expensive addiction.

That would depress me.

When I can pay $4.99 for a composite mini stick for my son, instead of $30. He's only 8 mos. old, he doesn't care which player endorses it.
