Strange thing to ask? Maybe.
Anyway, I'm really curious about what moments in your lives have given you the "warm fuzzies".
No boundaries here. Be as personal or as brief as you want, share as many or as few memories as you want.




Everyone's so dreary lately. including myself...
What makes us happy? Can we even remember?
Or are we too focused on present ordeals to remember
the happier moments in life? Maybe this can help cheer
people up a little....maybe. .-.

Ice skating on a little frozen lake in the middle of a still forest on a bright sunny winter's day with my friend. We were breathing smoke and creating patterns on the untouched ice surface with razor sharp skate edges. There was the sound of metal carving ice, and our quiet laughter muffled by volumes of snow and thick scarves.

Not really warm, but certainly fuzzy.

I was four. I was in my backyard, the trees were so tall and I was so short. I was making "fairie huts" out of walnut shells, acorn caps, leaves and bits of bark. I saw a bug and thought it was a fairie. It wasn't, but I caught it and put it in the "house" anyway. I was so proud.

Some of my better memories were when I had enough time on my hands to just take a walk with my digital camera and/or sketchbook and just look at the world around me in a totally new perspective. This tends to happen around sunset. I love sunsets.

Lost, after wandering irresponsibly away from the
Walking into the living room in a really foul mood and having the dog walk up to me and wiggle to be petted. I petted him a little, then buried my face in his fur and just sort of sat there until I felt better, and when I did, I took him outside and we played for half an hour. By the end of it, I didn't even remember why I'd been mad. I just felt better all through.

It was May and we had everything we owned in the back of a Toyota pickup truck. We had broken out the back window because our cat had locked himself inside the cab with the car keys at a truck stop and we had to release him somehow and get our keys out. We couldn't use the air conditioning because of this. It was nothing but horrible sand and a dry hot wind. We finally made it up a big hill and descended down the other side. Where everything had been brown and parched now was green and covered in fruit trees. The scent of citrus blew into the truck cabin. I sighed with relief.

One of my favorite memories.

:D

surely visiting snail.... it's soo nice to be able to wake up, and immediately see someone you enjoy. We also had fun trying to hold eye-contact with each other... which is what made me ":D"... since neither of us do it to anyone else normally. Fun/awkward game

I know I have plenty of others, but having just gotten off the phone (*sigh*... distance), this is the one flooding my mind at the moment.

This also ranks highly on the my list of stupid things I've done. My family rented a jet ski last Summer, I took it for a spin and forgot my life jacket. I noticed later, but apparently I was feeling a bit fool-hardy that day. In short I threw myself off the jet ski in a particularly violent manner, and was barely fortunate enough not to knock myself out and drown. When I first surfaced I thought I had broken my spine. The jet ski was floating some 40 ft away, I didn't have a life jacket and I was in extreme pain. When I'd actually gotten back to the machine, it was about ten minutes before I could coax my body into climbing back on and to limp slowly back to camp. I was badly bruised, and it was at least a month before my spine felt normal again.

So you may be asking why is this a positive story? Well mainly because of my amusing thought processes at the time. I was both ecstatic and yet utterly exasperated, sarcastic, and wry with myself; thinking simultaneously 'omng I'm not dead,' 'wow, I didn't realize what an idiot I am,' and 'I'm really glad I didn't break the jet ski, those are expensive.' I'm guessing many 'close calls' feel this way. You're just so damn happy that you're not dead or paraplegic that any other negative thing doesn't even register.

From a dangerously safe distance
All of the afternoons, especially late afternoon, but not too late. That time when it's sunny and a little cool and shadows are all around. The combination of this and just the right emotion. And I was always around someone, but always alone with my own dreams.

I thought a bit about it. I can't think of anything good that happened to me that didn't totally backfire short after.

:confused:

That day after spending the whole night up with a troll. I took on some of his psychopathic tendencies and went around feeling all-powerful and utterly insignificant. It's the most freedom I've ever experienced.

Or what about that time I fell asleep in the sauna, and was awakened by the delicious smell of burning cheddar. I woke up, finding my body ravaged by gravity in a way I've never experienced before, and discovered I had the luxury of moulding myself into whatever form I wanted. They still think I'm just a showerhead.

Or the time I became every day of the week. The world passed through me. I made a lot of money, but god I was sore for ages. I was only god for 7 days though.

Then there's the dream from a lifetime ago, where I battled with my mother's demons. I knew I could never quite trust her again, watching for signs of sneaky distortion...then we passed through a garden of santa-claus flowers. The heads had little white beards and red woollen caps. They were all smiling, and I felt divine peace that I'd never felt before and never have since.

Well, I've only ever been in love once in my 22 years. I'd have to say my fondest memories are of that. Ever since it's kind of been a torrent of brief flings or relationships that stop before they ever really get going. I tend to get bored with girls or rethink whether they are worth my time a lot, or they find me a bit too eccentric or wordy for their taste after a bit. (I dont come off as a nerdy type until you get to know me, well, sometimes that is lol)

My best memories though, laying in bed with her, looking into her eyes, holding her close. Man, it's been 4 years since then. 3 since I've seen or spoken to her. It was quite the ride, not sure I'm even capable of something like that again, too emotionally jaded.

Oh god this is going to be such a nerdy ass memory, but it was a good one god damnit.....

Okay, one of my best memories....*sigh...........was from playing World of Warcraft....(yep)

Me and my friend and just started playing and we were super noobs, like lvl 18 or 20 and we had another 2 friends who had been playing forever. One day we decided to go to the highest peak in the game, which required some glitching to get to. We had to travel through basically half the entire map on foot instead of mounts since we were noobs, the whole time being led but some super lvl hunter protecting our asses at every turn when a guard would attack (We had to go behind enemy lines to get where we wanted). There was pretty much one major glitch that you had to do and then it was just 5 minutes of traveling through back alley mountains that you're not technically supposed to be able to get to. We finally got there after a lot of deaths and close calls and, sitting atop the mountain, was a random flag just posted there....it felt so good to have that feeling of "going underground" so to speak, even though technically we were at the highest altitude of the game.

I mean what can I say. Yes it is extremely lame, but it felt really good, and despite visiting the same mountain at least four more times before I finally quit, it never felt the same as when me and my friend made the journey as 2 super noobs with another 2 super pros guiding us along.......all a can really say is......good times...

The land of stunning sunsets and sunshine
When I was little, every spring my mother would get a shipment of baby ducks for our mini farm. Because they were so tiny, she would have them camp out in our spare bathroom until they got a little bigger and could go to the main duck enclosure outside. There's nothing cuter/funnier than fluffy baby duckies paddling around in a bathtub making their little quack noises and dunking their brothers and sisters under the water, lol.

I was living in a tiny town in Mexico for the summer with my Mom when I was maybe 7 years old. It was my job to walk to this big open stone building each afternoon that was located in the center of town. All the women gathered there each afternoon and made fresh tortillas by hand for the townsfolk. The little house we lived in had a coffee tree and a stone and mortar washing well in the front. We had to wash all our clothes by hand. I still miss Fanta soda from living there.

I was living in Florence, Italy for summer school long ago, I would climb this long and obscure cobble stone road that took you up to a big stone church perched on top of a very large green hill over-looking the expanse of red-roofs and the duomo. After school, I would go up there and lay in the grass, feeling the sun on my skin, and listening to the church bells down below. I miss it.

My hon was stuck working a heavy construction job, pulling long hours. And after an exhausting day, he agreed (amazingly) to drive another 2 hours to take me to pick up a new baby bunny I planned to get (since I was too sick to drive myself.) I got him lost a dozen times getting there because it was dark, rainy, and the directions sucked. But he was so sweet and patient about it. We finally get there and the baby was the cutest, sweetest little thing ever and I brought her home. I love this memory.

Yeah, I'm a dork that likes cute things, SHOOSH.
