Seeing my family happy!!

[Sandy]

my families and friends happy makes me happy.

[ksfirefighter]

Wow! Deep question Dave.

My family, my job, my friends. So many little things play into the fact that I am the happiest I can imagine.

I guess it really depends on the day. But I know when i come home and I have had a bad run my wife and kids can make it all better by just being there.

[Penny]

Money and lots of it :lf

Just Kidding:gs

[stonejack]

family , traveling , good health , fine wine and good food , and to top it off - lay on my back so my honey can orally seduce me followed by her getting on top to finish the job . I just sit back , close my eyes and feel every sensation . This makes me very very happy ! It's not the norm but I do get the grand treat once and a while .

that little gasp

Money and lots of it :lf

Hey I got lots of money, lol I need some arm candy to spend it on, j/k or am I?

Other people happy, is what makes me happy

[SirFox]

Simple things.

Happiness in other children's faces
Smiles where there were no smiles before (as a consequence of your treating someone like a human being instead of just a number).
Seeing my children really happy...

[Penny]

My Xmass list is on the way :gs

My son told me yesterday he loves me more than anything in the world. Out of the mouths of babes.

[Waltert]

My son told me yesterday he loves me more than anything in the world. Out of the mouths of babes.

Think back to that moment when he is frustrating!
Remember that moment when he makes you angry!
Just remember that when he gets older!

Remember he still loves you, even when he is not being that loveable!

[Jy]

Wise words Walter. I keep a level head when he's up to mischief, but I know it probably won't be that easy as he gets older. But I'll always love him.

[spare_change]

My son told me yesterday he loves me more than anything in the world. Out of the mouths of babes.

Already a heartbreaker and a studmuffin!!! The future of Canada is safe.

[skybird]

When I drink my first morning coffee

When I see my kids

When I look out the window and see so much sunshine outside

When people appreciate me and accept me for what I am, for better or for worse.

There's probably more.

[kissiemybuttie]

there are a few things that make me happy....
the smile of my grandsons faces....and to hear them as i walk in the door....little pitter patter of there feet...such a sweet sound!!!
knowing that hubby is in the states...or at least on his way.....
just knowing that i am loved and apperciated....is the best feeling of all!!!!!!

[skybird]

And when I touch you I feel happy....inside
It's such a feelin' that, my love,
I can't hide...I can't hide...I can't hiiiiiiiiiiide.

So many of you here who understand the joy and lifelong gift of parenthood! Such heartfelt words! Thanks for the poem Dave. It was so touching.

MC, it's comforting to know that a son's love doesn't ebb with time, only evolves.
And spare, if you'd be willing to tutor him, I'm sure my little boy would be the greatest charmer ever!

If I had to, I would happily chew off my own arm for my son. I had no idea anyone had the capacity to love another this much without disintegrating. When he was born, I felt like I had become part of this special club of the ones who truly understand the meaning of unconditional love. I cherish every second with my boy.

[Sandy]

hey honey thats great, enjoy it. my teenage son said to me, bye mom i love you. that made my day, do you know how long its been since i heard that. :wa:

[smokingun]

Knowing that my son loves me, which he tells me everyday.

Yes that is the thing, sometimes they will not show the love like they did when little but that does not mean that love is not there. It usually still there but ask kids get older they often do not show it, especially through the teen years.

When life starts catching up with me, and I need to pull myself out of a rut, I find the fastest and easiest way to do this is to focus on those little things that happen throughout the day that often go unnoticed.
Today I stopped and listened to a cardinal who was sitting on the highest branch in the birch tree in our front yard.
This moring my little boy kissed me for no reason and told me that he loves me.
I sat on the couch in the living room this afternoon and had a quick coffee with a dear friend, and the sun was shining in the window on us.
I heard an old favourite on the radio this afternoon.

What are some of the little things that happened today that made you smile and helped you get through the day?

Today at my sons basketball game he was hit in the head --im a typical mother i asked did he need to be taken out of the game... he said no mom as long as u r here i can do it---it may not have meant much to many--but my son faces a new challenge everyday--it made me feel awesome to hear him say that..........

[tiger50]

mmm life hasnt caught up with me yet, but its gaining fast....lol

there is nothing more precious than a hug and kiss from your child, makes the whole world seem right.

Those kisses and hugs from your kids always make your day, my daughters are in thier mid thirties and thier hugs make my day perfect.

[Sandy]

that is so true, there is nothing quite like the love of our kids, is there. i wouldn't take anything in the world for it. even though hes going thru the stage, where its embarrising to have a mom and dad. lol:D

..and you've started my Sunday with one of those little moments just by your kind words! Thanks honey!!:kk

To tell the truth I have two grandsons 16 & 17 that still kiss(on the cheek) and hug me, you talk about a good feeling, and these guys are taller than I and both wrestlers in school, but the can show thier affection, thats cool.

[Sandy]

thats awesome sun. i keep my 3 year-old nephew, and i don't care how bad i feel, or how bad my day was. when he looks at me and says i love you, the world is a great place, and everything is good. corny huh ?

[MCat]

Our son is 20, newly married and expecting a baby. They stopped over yesterday so we could see and touch our unborn grandchild. She even let Hank have a little feel of her growing tummy. We are so excited I can't hardly stand it....just to think my baby is going to have a baby. I get all teary just thinking about what good Dad he will be. He takes such good care of his wife, just like Hank takes care of me. We are so proud.

He is beginning to appreciate the same kind of music we like and asked me to download some and make CD's for him.

Those things made my day yesterday...

Oh and also had an unexpected quicky in the early evening.

Ahhhh, a nice end to the day.

[Sandy]

awe congrats mc and hank. :wa: :kk

[Sunfiresix]

Great news Mc you sure will enjoy.

[Sexylady06]

This happens everyday and often.... I never knew that a 10 month old baby could show so much unconditional and pure love. My daughter shows me everyday, how much she loves me and appreciates me. She shows it with her wet kisses, hugs, eye contact.... it's just so much that she does. This little girl is my sunshine through the storm, I love her so much!!!

[romancer522000]

Yesterday I had 5 of my grandkids drop by for a few hours , when they were getting bored and starting trying to rearrange the furniture I sat down and played I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE with them . The youngest was priceless 4 yrs old three times in a row she would say I see something that is red all 3 times it was the red vest she had on All the others would guess it right away and she would walk away with the biggest and sweetest smile you can imagine . My Saturday was complete to watch those young minds and the things they would come up with . The nice thing to was they left after 3 hours and I took a nap !!!!!!!!!!!

[Sunfiresix]

That feeling will be there through all her years, even when she is mad or doesn't agree with you, the connection will always be there and feel good. I get the same feeling when my adult daughters hug me now as I did thirty some years ago when they were babies, fills you with joy.

[Sandy]

there is nothing and i mean nothing better than a childs love.

It is amazing that those little people can show so much love. I can't wait to hold and love a baby again. Its been so very long.

Make sure you enjoy it, the years fly by so fast. Sometimes I can't remember what it was like when my kids were little, sometimes I feel like I wasn't even there.

Make sure you pay attention to the little things....thats what really important. Not how many bedrooms or bathrooms your house has or how much money you have in your savings account. Its whether you kissed your child goodnight and told them you love them, its what story you read to them at bedtime...thats what they will remember.

I might not remember well , but my kids do.

[Sandy]

god this so true mc. my oldest is 21, and sometimes he'll say hey mom remember this. it takes me awhile sometimes, but its great he remembers.

[Sunfiresix]

Believe me it isn't just children, sometimes I can sense when my spouse is really lonely for her kids, so I give her that type of attention, let her feel motherly it really perks her up. We all need that typ of attention no matter how old. But the babies have a corner on the market.

most 19yr old guys would be so embarressed but not mine ,
brings a real smile to my face

[Zpanther]

Yeah. Look forward to when the grandkids come to spend the night. Had 3 last weekend and 2 more last night. Nothing quite like the feeling when one of 'em comes to me and looks up with wide eyes, "Papa would you read me a story?"

This morning I had a long, luxurious coffee on the couch, the cat was curled up beside me, purring contentedly, while I read the newpaper. Our couch is right in front of the big picture window in our living room, and faces south, so the sun was streaming in, bathing me in peaceful warmth. A nice way to start my Sunday.

[Sandy]

that sounds lovely jazzy.

[kissiemybuttie]

you know i have been thinking of this question all morning since I talked with my Mom and she told that she had driven our long time family dog to the vet this morning and had her put down...how much it means to me for someone to just stop and say hello..how are you...and for the friends that I have made...

[Sunfiresix]

That kissie is a great feeling, when I walk thruough the factory where I work I get a great feeling so many call out Hi or wave from a long way away, that means a lot to be just recognized even for a min. All it takes is Hi how are you.

[blanjas3]

the love of your child is unconditional and pure..makes everything in life wotrthwhile..i wish mine could stay this age..8 and 5

Today I spent the morning doing my volunteer thing in my son's classroom and got to spend the time singing songs with the kids, playing ball at recess and reading them stories. I also helped a little girl write her name.

This evening, I made my son laugh, then smelled his hair as he went to sleep.
Tonight I got to chat with a very dear friend who warmed my heart and brightened my day.

the thing thats means the world to me is seeing my kids.....unfortunately when you own a bakery most of your life is devoted to that so when I get home after a gruling day all I really need to see is the smiles on their faces and all my problems melt away.
I really love my kids and wish I spend every wakening moment with them but someone has to pay the bills...

Gg's Doing Wonderful It's For The Best
For The Both

[G...G]

The smile on your daughter's face when she makes all star cheerleading after such hard work. That is priceless to me OR waking up with kids in bed with you snuggled up to you sleeping. I fuss about them taking the entire bed but it's so sweet when I really think about it.

[upstr84u]

nice to see your smile this morning georgia --- it makes my day --

[G...G]

Thank you sweetie!!!! Good moring to you too!!!

[sweet]

This morning when I woke up, I could hear my 4 year old daughter singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and then my 2 year old little girl started singing her ABC's. That was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.


If I didn't have my two beautiful children, I would have no reason to get out of bed and face the world. They are my heart and soul and make life worth living.

[Zifnab]

That is one of the nicest things I've read in a long time!:kk

My Mom just called me to tell me her brother died yesterday; the second one in three months. She's lost all her siblings now, and I lost two wonderful uncles.

All I could do is sit down and hold my little boy and thank God over and over for him.

As I said, when big things happen, it's little countless little blessings that give you hope and help carry you through the bad times. I am so grateful to all of you for your support and your thoughtful gestures. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just got back from taking my son to the doctor, and sure enough, he has some kind of virus which is probably going to get worse before it gets better. I'm jsut glad that I was able to get him an appointment today, and that I know what the fever and headaches are about.
Thanks again for your friendship everyone. I think I'm going to take full advantage of it over the next few days.

[Zifnab]

I am so sorry to hear of the loss your family had, best thing is to be with family, we are all here for you. Take care Sweetie.

[Jy]

Once again, I am floored by the capacity for the members here to flock to anyone here who is struggling, and to shower that person with love, support, advice and clean tissues. You are all so treasured.

So, besides your seemingly unlimited friendship and loyalty, I am grateful that I had a good yoga class this evening, that my son and I had a good laugh at a funny book tonight, and that my sister told me she loves me.

[goodgirl12]

Child Sitting for my neice
A hand full for a 6 year old

HELP ME

[goodgirl12]

Well friends, just got yelled at,
she saw what I wrote lol

[tiger50]

huh?????

[goodgirl12]

Tiger,
Thats going to help me????
How?

[tiger50]

wat u need help with babe?????

[goodgirl12]

My 6 year old neice,
don't have kids so hang
a black belt around my neck..
Can't understand why she calls
me Aunt Beeotch.

[Zifnab]

It is always difficult to think of the "right" thing to say in difficult times. I often find myself questioning my words so much that I never send along any sentiments at all. Therefore to recieve a kind note expressing gratitude for the inspiration my words gave to one in need of comfort is a gift that truely touches my heart and brightens my day, for the greatest wish I have for my life is that of making anothers journey easier.

[Jy]

This morning I heard an old favourite on the radio while I was driving to work.
This evening I snuggled on the couch and read books to my son.
Tonight I had a nice chat with a dear friend.
And just a few minutes ago, I had some wonderful friends on here ask how my son is doing.
It warms my heart.

nice, yeh i always read to my daughter, never allowed to in 2nd marriage... :(

[Jy]

Never?! That 2nd wife needs to be bitch-slapped!

Reading to your child is one of the best ways to bond and share quality time with your child!
Good thing he has such a loving and caring dad that has found other pasttimes to share with him, like cricket. Good for you Tiger!

[Cotties]

Have you been bitch slapping her?

I find locking the children out of the house a great way to get some peace.

[Jy]

This afternoon I painted with my son, did some crafts, and watched the snow coming down.

[Jy]

I was at my uncle's funeral today, and I am grateful that the last thing I said to him before he died was that I love him.

[goodgirl12]

It's so hard to find the right words
when we suffer a loss, I just remember what my Grandfather always told me
don't cry for me when I'm gone for I will be with my father
and I don't have to suffer anymore for only he can take it away
and I to will be with you someday too grandpa I love you.
miss you nono

[Zpanther]

That reminds me of my grandfather too GGirl. I spent the summers on his ranch when I was a teenager. When he got older his body began to give out. He became so weak my grandmother had him hospitalized. They fed him intraveineously and he was released a few days later. I went to visit him and was surprised that he was irritated. He was a man of few words, but he made it clear that he was not happy to have been hospitalized and sternly admonished the family for doing it. He immediately began to deteriorate again and my grandmother was frustrated because he refused to eat. I visited him and tried to convince him to eat. He was so weak he could hardly speak, but he told me... "I am not eating because I'm ready to die. Don't be sad. I'm not. I've lived a long and full life and now it's time for me to go. I'm looking forward to getting to heaven and I have no doubt that is where I'll soon be."

He passed away the next morning. I still think of him often and always will.

A good man, ZP --- I think the lesson here is not to be able to go gracefully, but to be ready to go every day. If you died tomorrow, what would be your greatest regret?

[Sunfiresix]

I am not sure I actually would regret anything, Since my open heart surgery, in fact for some strange reason since just before it, I have not been afraid to die, I have treated every day as it is my last, I only live for today. Everyone noticed and likes the change and I feel it has made me a better person.

[Sandy]

thats great sun, maybe we all need to try doing that. :wa:

[sweetgapeach]

I went to a B Day party with my 5 year old , and it was his first . And I had a headache most of the Day and just was not wanting to go . Well we got there and We had a Blast , He was so happy and laughing and playing . It was the best time. But the best part , the part that took that Headache away was, When we got out of the car , I said to myself outloud, I feel like Crap . He in turned said , I am So excited . <smile> lol
I loved him for that !!!
I had to remember who I was going to this Party for !!

[Jy]

What a devoted mom you are, Peach, and brave too!! Yikes! Going to a five year old's party with a headache?!? That's enough to make your head blow right off! I'm glad you had a great time!!
I took my son to see hubby play in a charity hockey tournament -ex-pros and semi-pros- and he was riveted watching his daddy play. I couldn't take my eyes off his face, he was so entranced!
Then daddy's team won the whole thing, and he won mvp, and came to the bench and picked up our son, and skated around the ice holding him in his arms. I thought our little guy was going to blow a gasket!! He was in heaven!!
Regardless of our problems, hubby is a devoted dad and his love for his son shines through, especially in times like that! I'm glad I took my camera!

[Sandy]

well guys my 14 year old son just blew me away. we're in the process of painting our kitchen, i was standing on an old chair, taking the doors off the cabinet, he comes in and says mom i want to do that. i said are u sure, he said yes please. it was only after i got down, that i relized he had been watching his fav, movie. he quit cause he was worried about me. that just made my day.

[Jy]

Wow!! What a wonderful son you have, Sandy!! Says alot about your parenting skills too! How else do you instill a conscienc in a 14 year old, if not for good role models!!

I'm glad he heled you too. If you fall off that chair and hurt yourself, I'm going to spank you!!:D

[Sandy]

lol, all in all hes a good. hes going thru his teen-age years, but when he sees something like that. he always helps.

[G...G]

[Zifnab]

[Sandy]

[goodgirl12]

[Zifnab]

[Sandy]

[Zifnab]

A phone call from a friend who tells me she just wanted to talk because she was thinking of me. It's always nice to know that you're thought of daily by those you care about.

I wonder if we could all somehow exchange numbers and if one is feeling down just ring the other to say Hello, and even me in the UK Im prepared to pool our numbers, let me know what you all think, it would be nice to simply pick up the phone and say " Hello how are you today":wa:

[Sandy]

having the baby wake up first thing this morning coming to me, wraps his little arms around my neck, and saying i love you. there is nothing in the worldto compare that to.

[Jy]

Despite being sick, I had a fantastic class this morning, because the members are all so cheerful and appreciative. I love my job.

This afternoon we got a few families together at the local school, and played ball hockey. There were about 7 parents and a whole slew of kids aged four and under. We had a blast! Then we pooled our snacks and drinks and ended up having a pretty impressive impromptu picnic.
At one point I just laid back and let the sun warm my face as I gazed up at the clear blue sky and felt so peaceful and content. Then my son reached over, gave me a gentle pat on the shoulder and said "Mommy, I'm so happy".

[Sunfiresix]

Little things like when your diet doesn't allow candy and sweets, but when you open a bag of friut you find your mate has dropped a mini mounds bar in it, that puts a smile on your face.

[G...G]

AWW sun I bet that does put a smile on your face!!!

[Jy]

Yes, we do! I can live off this one for years!!God, we live for those moments, don't we?

[Sandy]

its moments like that, that make everything worthwhile.

[goodgirl12]

Jazzy you have the sweetest son ever
and what a mom you are.
my brother and the mothers of his 2 kids
could use lessons from you

[Jy]

Thanks GG! I really lucked out when God was handing out children, that's for sure!

We had a wonderful bike ride today, the first one of the year. He sits in a seat that's mounted over the back wheel, and we rode 15 miles out to the best park in the city where he played non-stop for 2 and a half hours! It was a perfect end to a great weekend!

[goodgirl12]

Would You Like To Give Them Lessons?
It's So Needed
Or I'm Going To Tke Her From Him

[Jy]

I saw a robin in our birdfeed today.

One of the members at the gym wrote a note to the owners praising my class.
I got home before it started snowing.
My son and I shared a really good belly laugh as we read his bedtime stories together.
