Being alive
Making other people happy
Helping people see what's good about their own lives
Riding my horse along the local beach when there is no-one else around
Finding 'free' food
Taking the lid off the first jar or home-made something or other
Hearing my kids tell their pals how good home grown food is!
Reaching a point in life where i am truly satisfied with what i have and having no desire to half kill myself to achieve more

too many others to list ....

I'm with you guys:
Seeing my son go off to school with a smile on his face.
Seeing him come out of school with an even bigger smile.
Watching him ride his bike (something no one thought he would ever be able to do)
Seeing my family when we've been apart for months
Eating stuff I grew myself
Watching other people enjoy eating stuff I grew.
seeing seedlings appear in the spring.
Driving my lovely car
I could continue but I can see you're nodding off already...

Helping someone achieve a 'lightbulb' moment
Pulling a carrot out of the ground and discovering how big it's become
Making a room full of people laugh at the same time
Making any one person laugh
Making someone smile
Stopping someone crying
Telling someone you love them and seeing that they know you mean it
Giving someone a compliment and them accepting it as being genuine
Doing something for someone in total secrecy...
Them finding out it was you by accident
Finding a de-restricted country lane, with very little traffic and no blind corners or dodgy bends
Building something you've planned for ages and discovering it actually works!
Receiving something you ordered in the post
Seeing someone has dedicated a topic to you on the forum
A topic that you start receiving all-round support/interest/approval
The Grapevine in general

People that say Thank you
People not on the phone while you are trying to serve them at the till.
Sunny days
Cold crisp mornings
Being able to sleep through the night.
The list is endless
