I remember having two helicopter rides. When I lived in the mountains a pilot celebrated getting her liscence by having a helicopter give rides to residents to fly through the canyon. They had a limosine and had shooters for the guests. It was simply amazing. It was my first helicopter ride.

The second helicopter ride was over Brice Canyon. We had taken our motor home to stay at Brice and had our oldest granddaughter. We rented a car so we could get around. We took a helicopter ride over Brice Canyon in Utah and it was so beautiful.

I really love helicopter rides. It is so much fun and so beautiful. I am so grateful that we could do that.

I had an helicopter ride, Gizmo, over the Smokey Mountains. My husband, brother in law, sister and I all did it when we were staying in Tennessee. My sister hemmed and hawed over going. Even she had nothing bad to say after that flight. It was simply amazing and a very happy time for me(despite her complaining ;)).

Britt it is an awesome experience. I am so grateful I got to do it. The best part is talking to my husband about it because he does not talk very much anymore. I am so happy for you that you got to do this.

I love this thread. It makes me feel so good.

Waking up feeling happy and not having the dread of facing the day. Waking up naturally.

The day my young son, while I was in a depressive state and crying(after I told the boys it wasn't their fault), said to me, "It just happen's sometimes, right mommy? No reason." Made me realize I had raised an emotionally smart and compassionate child.

Our first night in our first new home. We were looking at the dity lights down below. Moving away from there was such a huge mistake. It was a very good time in our lives. I was very happy and fulfilled.

Making blackberry jam with my husband when we went to visit his brother up in Northern California. We gave alot of it away as christmas presents. It was fun. I remember my two year old son's t shirt was covered in blackberry juice. We sure made alot of jam that summer. We used to do so many things together. It was alot of fun.

Since I have come back from my vacation a few days ago I have faced what I consider some pretty stressful situations. I have been thinking of the turtles sunning on logs I saw in Barton Creek, in Austin Texas, right in this park in the middle of the city. The image calms me a little as here are these turtles going about their business and being turtles despite the fact that they are in smack dab in the middle of a city with 850,000 residents, and then suburbs also adding more to the metro area. Yet still they are living like they were not in the midst of a huge urban area. I find that very comforting somehow. And I'm glad I stopped and took some pictures of the turtles, too.

Collecting eggs from my chickens. I loved having chickens and having fresh eggs. We were giving them away to family and friends. It was great.

Being outside in the early fall and smelling fall in the air.

I finally found one. When we'd brought my son home from the hospital. The first two weeks he was coming off of the cocaine that his bio mom had been using and he would shiver a lot and couldn't get comfortable and so moved around all night, ruining the swaddling. He didn't fuss much, he was such a happy baby from the first day I met him(2 days old). I held him at night on the couch, balanced on my chest because he had an infection in his lungs and couldn't breathe on his back. He would press his little head so tight to my chest, his ear over my heart and be so still. He'd stop shivering and sleep nearly all night. Those were the most peaceful moments I've ever had. The feeling I had then, no matter what was going on it felt so right, just thinking about it brings that comfort back.
