Happy: laughter, music, stimulating conversation, meditation
Unhappy: the opposite of the above I suppose. Noise, anger, one-sided exchanges, stress.

Thanks for the compliment. I've started a lot of threads over the last 10 years across different forums, but it never ceases to amaze me which ones people prefer. I figured I'd try simplicity for a change.

1. Spending time with family.
2. A bra that fits correctly.
3. A decent IDPA score (minimal points down)
4. Seeing my daughters succeed at growing into fine and decent young women.
5. My dogs.
6. Walking alone on the beach.
7. Swinging a well balanced fastpitch bat.
Things that irritate me.....
1. Stupidity in other people as well as myself.
2. A bra that doesn't fit properly.
3. Thong underwear
4. Trying on bathing suits.
5. This soft cast on my knee.
6. People who give unsolicited advice.
7. Political correctness.

when I finally understand a complex concept
message boards
strong coffee
a cappella singing
sushi
watching women samba dancing
Some things that make me unhappy:
extreme redundancy
people who manipulate others to get ahead
cheaters
coarse sand in my shoes
now that I've quit, cigarettes and all the chemicals they put in them

Poverty and destitution. When I see a vagabond or a demented person speaking to themselves in a public place, this disturbs me greatly. I ask, "Where is their family?" Neglect brings me down.
Order, cleanliness, organization, progress, humming with activity. This tells me life is thriving so all is well and good.
The scent of fresh baked bread. It makes my mouth water and I dream of cheese to go with it but I know I can't have an abundance of bread and cheese to keep the middle little. Hah!
The aroma that promises a fine meal be it Asian, Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, French, Indian, and what have you. Mouthwatering temptations inject the mind with a thrilling anticipation of fine cuisine along with fine wine to savor with great company and great conversation.

Music. For a long time now, I don't want to hear certain songs so I only listen to classical, some smooth jazz, choral, and selected songs. Dance music makes me happy because it makes me dance. However, the news and favorite shows top my list over music. An associate listens to Pandora all day. I cannot relate.Quote from: "Azhya Aryola"
