Happiest moment of your life~~

[theplanb]

Can you describe the happiest moment of your life?
The reason why I ask this is.. I'm looking for mine.. can't even remember when I felt happiness. Arrr.. where is my blue birdy..

 

[VoodooExtreme]

When I first got together with my GF, since then I've been walking on clouds

 

[gUEv]

when i got my first blow-....er...heh

 

[theplanb]

umm... pleasure = happiness?
I was refering to more like.. true happiness.. like when you give a birth to a child

 

[pamchenko]

when i got into cornell early decision

 

[mztykal]

Definetly not today...today sucks!:frown:

 

[Shack70]

The day my son was born

 

[err]

The day when I've dreamt that I was dead. When I woke up alive, that is when I was happiest, appreciating my life

eRr

OK...if you're a woman...I'd have to say that giving birth may be a wonderful experience (not that I have, but this is just a guess since I'm female and I think I can say something here ;P), but it HURTS for the vast majority of women. So I'd hazard a guess that the *act* of giving birth mostly sucks although most women think it's well worth it and are indeed very happy *after* it's done and she can hold her child in her arms.

As for when I've been happy? Waking up next to my bf Or else all the car time we've had together (happens when ya live an hour away and need to get picked up cuz of lack of car) to just talk or be together...

you're not the only one theplanb, i've never really been truly hapy in life. i sat here for a good 10 minutes and couldn't think of one truly happy experience of my life. So the search goes on....

 

[hans007]

i'm still thinking i've never been really really really happy. After years of being pushed by high expectations asian parents, and not really getting support for anything i've ever tried to do on my own, i really cant think of anything. This has turned me into a bitter old 20 year old (as of yesterday anyways). Man i need a girlfriend or something... The least worrysome times closest to being really happy for me was being drunk with friends.

 

[hans007]

oh damn i'm a diamond member. Man i have no life. 3000 posts. wow.

 

[Tran23]

I'm with hans on this one, exactly how I feel. The only time I can think of being close to happy, was this one day all my friends and I drank and crashed at a holiday inn.

 

[toph99]

the day i told my girlfriend i loved her and heard it back

 

[cxim]

One was when I heard an "I Do",

then later... The judge said "I enter this decree. It includes no alimony nor spousal support."

 

[Stallion]

Probably when my Son was born. Now to look at him when he is sleeping brings a smile to my face every time. Little babies are the epitome of joy.

 

[TheDennis]

The happiest moment of my life sort of surprised me. It was when I graduated high school. I know that sounds so corny but I was happier then than I though I would be.

 

[harpomx]

The memories of the happiest moments of my life always bring with them the pain and sadness of the fact that my life is not the same anymore, and those moments that made me so happy will not occur again. What a jip.

My wedding day. I was so happy and to be surrounded by everyone important to me.

 

[Athanasius]

True happiness is a spiritual discipline that comes from seeing the Good without denying the evil.

I tend to follow a self-deluding path: I am consistently guilty of seeking happiness through controlling my circumstances and parceling out life to myself in ways that I deem appropriate.

Seeking happiness through control is destined to failure. When I am old, I will not be in control of virtually any of my circumstances. I will probably live in a place that I wouldn't choose, being told to eat at times I may not choose, eating food I would not choose [Oreos will probably be off limits ], and seeing loved ones less than I would choose.

But I can still be happy. If I respond to Life by consistently seeking to be emotionally resilient, spiritually mature, and truly benevolent, I will consistently become a happier person. Developing such a mindset seems like an impossible challenge, but rising to that challenge and discovering Grace is what makes real happiness possible. At least for me.

Hence, my happiest moments are when I am transported out of my self absorbed self. Too bad such moments are so few and far between. But, they are like water to a thirsty plant.

The happiest days of my life where when my children were born. There is nothing like holding your child in your arms for the first time, and realizing that from now on, there is a part of you to carry on after your gone. Somehow you don't seem so small in the world anymore.

 

[ToBeMe]

When I received an award in a personal injury lawsuit!

 

[Isla]

Each time they handed me a bloody, squirming baby...

The moment that I looked into the eyes of my children as they first entered this world was over the top for me. It's like, Hello! I am sooooooo happy to meet you! A lot of you already know this feeling and many more of you will one day, hopefully.

ISLA:

Weddings don't move me (they don't make me happy, they make me sick and nervous!)

I can't explain it. It was just a perfect day that I felt such love for my wife and my family. I was totally at ease with myself and definetly in "the zone". I am typically a very reserved fellow but that day was one for ages.

 

[unxpurg8d]

ROFL GF!!!! That was such a SWEET maternally wonderful thing to say!! Personally for ME those were two of the worst days!! LOL I won't give the details (go ahead, say "thank you!!!!!" hehe) but eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww and yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk and ooooooooouuuuuuuchh just about cover it.

A few days after the little icky creatures were born I was much happier about the whole thing, though. :Q




The happiest moment of my life was when my son came out of the coma he'd been in for 26 days after being hit by a car - he was six. He'd been laying there eyes open but not responsive; I stayed with him night and day in intensive care talking to him and waiting for some sort of sign that he was still in there somewhere. I put my watch in his hand and it fell out onto the floor. I said something like "Oh sure, throw the watch on the floor so your poor old decrepit mom has to bend over and pick it up" then leaned down to get it..... I heard a little tiny laugh and my heart just stopped. When I looked up at him he was looking at me and smiling.
