What would be one memory or event in your life that made you the happiest ?

For me it would be when I was 9 and I went on a 3 1/2 day trip to the northeast to see my moms family. The best part was being able to watch the view of the mountains in montana on my uncles private property it was so amazing

I think for me, it would be singing Christmas carols in front of the fireplace with my mother and grandmother for my grandfather.

I remember the first time ever seeing the ocean when I was about 7 and all I was expecting was a huge gigantic swimming pool and I'll never forget the awe I felt for life looking at that thing!! I think it was the first time of thinking there was so much more to this world.

Oh gosh, there are so many. I use them as a sleep aid sometimes.
Memories of all the different places I've been always makes me happy.

Travel memories for sure. Sitting on the beaches of the English Channel with kids from all over Europe listening to music and looking up at the shooting stars.

Can't think of a single one. How sad. I know I got some good ones in here somewhere that make me smile like a goof when I am at work.- usually of my kids, or their father.

as a child though- Wow, Why is this so tough. It must be my mood right now.

Got one!

During my last vacation when my fiance walked down to the beach with me holding my hand to see the sun rise. That was pretty cool, and I felt very loved. :)

I am actually enjoying time with my Relatives' Kids. It's part of my Inner Child work.

Mine would oddly be memories I made at the hospital. I do best when surrounded with people and am most happy then. I remember sitting in the waiting room for almost 24 hours with people who were bored out of their minds. We all joked and laughed. We all thought it was funny how a room full of depressed people can have such a good time. We were sleep deprived, slap happy, and silly people falling out of our chairs laughing over everything. The staff seemed shocked. We all requested to be on the same unit, so they let us. We then continued to have fun. We all listened to music a kid brought in and chatted about our lives for hours. It was peaceful and nice.

Youre welcome irish I think we all dwell too much on the bad sometimes. It feels nice to look back at all the happy memories and be appreciative that we are all still here

I have thought many times about why I don't have any good memories.
I guess the closest I could come is when I was homeless in Hawaii
in my mid twenties, and stayed on a beach that was no where near
any electricity. At night it was pitch black, couldn't see my hand in front
of my face. All I was aware of was the sound of the surf a few feet in
front of me. It was wonderful.

    Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and  alone.  I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it.  It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move.  Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it.  Its been...
