What brings out the best in you?

Doing nice things with and for my sons. And participating in services and committees at my faith community.

The surgeon when he excised my tumor.

Being around kids (toddlers, pre-teens). .
They’re genuine/natural, and I like that very much.
That touches me.

A good outcome while under pressure.

Family.

When I reach a goal on each of my long term projects.
When I have interesting conversations.
When I am in the company of my family ( some).
When I get outdoors for fresh air and go hiking etc.
When I photograph and accomplish a photo restoration for me or others as it makes me happy to see them happy too.

Music, especially live music. Being with loved ones, when it’s ones that don’t give me trauma :p

People doing good/kind deeds when they are not expected to do so. People going the extra mile for others in need, when they, themselves, have great struggles.

Laughter and chocolate…..either one or both!

Attention & adulation!
No seriously, sharing quality time & laughs with like-minded, genuine, friends/family who leave their ego at the door & who all bounce off each other with nothing but positive vibes…you can’t beat it!

Making them laugh & feel good, has the same affect on myself…win, win!

A big challenge
A mountain of work
Pandemonium
When someone needs help
When things are at there worst

Animals and children, seperately.

People who are genuinely kind from the heart.

A thank you. A kind word.
