What was the single, happiest moment of your life thus far?
For me, it would have to be when I was kid, running through the neighborhood at night while it rained. It was that really calm, refreshing summer rain. It smelled sweet, and I just let it run down my body with not a care in the world. Young, naive, and completely in the moment. At the time, I probably didn't think it was the happiest I had been, but now, the memory comes fleeting back. There are accomplishments that I've received over the years, certain rites of passage so to speak, but I'm going to cherish those summer rains for a long time.

as sappy and clichéd as it is, my wedding day. Best day of my life :)
I feel conflicted because we have two young boys. It's hard to choose between my wedding day and when they were born. There end up being these huge points in life that cannot be more important then the last.
For me it was my sisters wedding day. First and only one of my siblings to get married and I couldn't have been happier for her.
Not cliché at all! Your wedding day should always be one of the happiest moments of your life!
My cheesy cliched answer as well. The best moment of that day was when I first saw my (now) husband as I was walking down the aisle. The amount of emotions in that single moment is extremely overwhelming.
aw, hurrah for love ;)
My wedding was really awesome, but it can never beat the actual first day that I met my wife. We talked online for two years, then I flew to the other side of the world to meet her and it was absolutely the best thing that ever happened to me. From there it was all down hill... just kidding ;) Still all awesomeness.
That's so lovely :)
Has to be my solo trip to the US. Not necessarily dependant on the Country, but just the freedom of travelling alone in a country not right around the corner. I felt very... well.. zen.
I'm not travelling alone but I am overseas without parents right now with a small group of friends. We're away for a year and just spending time exploring the country with these people has been incredibly fun. At times I worry that adult life won't live up to this but I guess I'll just have to change that.
Trips are great, and very rewarding! I have yet to go abroad alone, but I've known a couple people who have done that and said it was one hell of an experience. There is a lot of zen to it, from what I can tell.
When I could finally stop going to Church.
Taking mushrooms and realising that I could do whatever I wanted to in life, love is the only true force and everything that will ever exist comes and returns to a single point of existence. I don't think I stopped smiling for 6 months.
I actually have a culmination of moments. When I got out of a miserable marriage and than relatively shortly after met the girl who would change everything about my life.
She really just showed me a mirror reflection and showed me that I just am not a good person as in not happy at all. Just really broken, broken from alot of things and that I had the biggest front ever.
No one saw the real me, but she broke through the layers and helped me become who I am today. So, my monumental best moment? When she walked through the door and I interviewed her for a job. I would of never known she would help reshape who I am.
That's a hard question. I think mainly because I've been fortunate enough to live a generally happy life, so it's difficult to pin down one moment in memory that was particularly more happy than the rest.
Though they're not super specific, I think it would come down to one of two types of moments. Before my ex and I broke up last year, there were many times where we would lay together in silence and just enjoy the feeling of having someone you love by your side. It's probably one of the most joyous feelings possible in the world.
More recently, I've been really happy to think about my life in general and appreciate the fact that I'm absolutely in control of my future. I'm attending university for a program that fascinates me, setting me up to get jobs I will actually love to do, and because I have awesome parents who don't mind helping to support me, I'm already financially stable enough to make it through school without incurring tons of debt. The next decade is an endless sea of options and I know I have the power to turn my life into whatever I want with enough dedication, which is a pretty amazing feeling.
Finishing high school.
There is no one single moment - but an accumulation of many moments - all of which revolve around my two daughters and my husband.
Hmm, stuck between 2. Becoming a Freemason was a lifelong goal of mine so doing that has been incredible and I still love being one to this day. On another note when I was younger I used LSD therapy to cure my depression, it worked, and within the time frame of 12 hours I went from manic depressive to normal happy human and havn't gone back to that bad place since.
Finding my sister. Separated when I was 11. Found her through an amazing set of coincidences 32 years later.
A specific family vacation I went on when I was around 11. We spent a week at the beach and I remember it being the most relaxing, carefree time I've ever had.
