OK, there is a lot of kvetching & hating on this board. I'm as guilty as the rest of us. We all need to vent sometimes
Today I'd like to bring in the sunshine by starting a discussion about what we love. Let's talk about what makes us feel happy to be alive.

I love diving off a high rock into a freezing stream on a hot day.

I love shaking my ass right down front at a righteously good rock show.

I love feeling the wind in my face as scoot down the road.

And of course..... I love kittens, who doesn't

Bring on the love folks.

Aside from the obvious, my baby girl/wife/family...

... Golfing - 1st tee time of the day on a brisk morning... dew on the course, slight haze as the sunrises. Seeing my breath as I get going, but not feeling cold, the cool air helping to wake me up. Totally silent and still....

That is a moment of zen for me...

Great Idea for a thread. I love...

A Jimmy Buffett concert in a seaside venue surrounded by boats full of partying Parrotheads. I would have a funnel connected to a constant flow of pina coladas (or margaritas). An endless line of people of all ages in grass skirts in aloha shirts would be limboing.

Kind of like this...

I love the sun, the moon and the stars. Having 4 seasons. Rocks and trees, song birds and dragon flies, lightning bugs and praying mantis. I love to travel and I love to return home. I love to go fast and take my time. I love ice cream, home grown tomatos, cabbage and most herbs. I love sushi and sashimi, pasta and pancakes. I loved my BMW 2002 tii and I love my Vespa. But most of all I love dry winding roads and wet wonderous women!

Somebody had to do it:

I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks, slow-moving trains, and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams, sunday school in may,
And hay
And i love you too

I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends, birds in the world, and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass and i love you too

I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine, and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try, music when it's good, and life
And i love you too

LOL, got me! I will admit that although I believe that his career has gone on far too long, I also believe that Live You Had To Be There is one of the best live lps ever. I LOVE double live albums & the '70's was their heyday. My favorite bit from that album: "I can't taste the alcohol." "That's the plan darlin'." I was even a bit jealous when my buddy told me he was at the Fabulous Fox Theater in ATL for the recording of that album.

I love my BF, who makes me fabulous breakfasts in the mornings.

I love my wee dogs, who like to sleep under the covers between me and my BF.

I love a nice scooter ride on the weekends around 8:00 am, no traffic, going down route 25 along the Fox River in Illinois.

And I pretty much love anything with chili and cheese on it!

I love my newfound hobby.

This is my Coleman inflatable kayak (or canoe?), aptly named Diff'rent Strokes. Why that name? My friends and I are such noobs to kayaking. We don't paddle accordingly. Plus, it's by Coleman, like Gary Coleman? -- What'choo talkin' 'bout, WillisGet it? (rim shot).

MV, meet Diff'rent Strokes.

To read the morning paper, the obits and not find my name there.

Although, several years ago, there was a poor soul with the same name as mine who had passed.
There were umpteen calls to my wife (I was out of town at the time) expressing condolences.

Walking to Goodison Park* on a cold winter evening, the sky lit up by the old lady. The heady aroma of frying onions and Police horse manure** filling the air. A real Football stadium with soul and tradition.
