Oh dear... I've been flitting around the place, noticing that there are lots of seriousness and depressive subjects, which I must say I find very interesting. But to keep a balance I thought I shall pour a bit of feel good sunshine into everyones life with this thread...
You know when you have those moments when you are completely content and everything seems perfect and magical? When was your most precious one?
Mine would have to be when I was on my way back from Woodford Folk Festival last year and it was me and two other friends as we drove back to the coast in my mates van. We all sang together to classic songs on the radio and we shared fruit that we had just got from Elvis Parsley (a very strange, hillarious man that has a fruit and veg shop. He's absolutely obsessed with Elvis and he came out and sang 'Jailhouse Rock' to us, microphone, backing music and everything... ). We pulled over and climbed up some mango trees on private property and I truly felt BLISS. It may not seem as special when you haven't experienced it for yourself... but times of freedom and contentment are the sweetest to reflect on...
May blissful moments flow freely into everyones lives from now on!

I have lots of those evenings at home, I have had a delicious meal, a glass of fine wine, a cuddle from my Mr. and a nice cd playing on the stereo, good books a plenty to read and I think 'isn't life fine', or sitting in the Churchill arms surrounded by my friends and I feel a glow of contentment at being surrounded by friends in such a great atmosphere. Or just going for a solitary walk in the fields at home and down to the lake and breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of nature. There are loads of others, simple pleasures they may be, but they are still perfect moments.

My Blissful moments was a couple of months ago when I took a walk alone to the Ness Woods, a small but beatiful forest with a really nice river flowing through it with a massive waterfall and everything. I sat under the bridge with a little picnic and watched the river flowing past me and listening to water tricking past me and trickeling over the stones on the bank of the little river. It was so relaxing. It was a natural high just sitting and chilling without any humans passing by and I was having the time of my life.
Life is good

Ness Woods is lush! One of those paradise places that is almost too picture perfect.
When I was travelling in New Zealand last summer I would always try to head down to a beach just before sunset. They'd normally be west facing, a snow capped mountain in the near distance and deserted. As the sun coloured the sky I had my own personal paradise. Wandering along, splashing through the waves and bouncing around. Bliss

Tonight. I went and did a samba dancing class, and then went for a fire spin in the rain. I am totally and completely content.

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

A couple of years ago I was at a beach party which went on all night with fire and glowstick twirling, the cops turned up said "Hi!" and went away again.
The sun began to rise and the islands of Lambay and Irelands Eye floated above the seamist on molten gold.
The sun rose, everything looked like molten silver and beaten copper and everyone walked down to the sea.

Sitting on top of a hill on the Isle of Wight, waiting for the breeze to come through so I could go flying, and three of my mates just coming and sitting with me in silence, watching the convergence build with the sun on our faces.

tonite, ami came over to my parents acerage to spin and after she left i went down to the pond, just me and my dog, and it started to rain just a little bit, and i burned one last time. it was perfect.
but my favorite that comes to mind is back in september, it got really cold for about a week, and ami's folks had just gotten a hot tub installed in their back yard. so we were out there at 12 or 1 am, watching the northern lights, and then it got a little chilly, the clouds came, and it began to rain, almost snow. and it was the neatest, purest time that i can think of right now.

What a great topic! My favorite thing about life is that a moment of profound beauty can creep up on you when you least expect it. It's almost as if God is subltly giving you a hint of what it's all about.
One of my best was the dawn of the morning after a long night of dancing and laughing with friends on the beach to the sounds of soothing trance. Several hundred people lined the shore along the edge of the water and waited breathlessly as the sky turned deep pink and purple. Just as the last DJ was spinning a remix of "Gamemaster", a huge redish orange ball of fire erupted over the horizon and everyone clapped and cheered their approval. Sitting there amongst my closest friends and experiencing just how beautiful life could be, completely took my breath away.

Captain... What a blissful experience!
I think when we are feeling down, low, or afraid... we should embrace the sweet taste of the luscious nectar dripping from these experiences, and know that we are capable of being completely happy.
The reason I brought up this subject is so everyone could reflect on a blissful time... and float to that moment. To feel the butterflies in your stomach that fly with glee in moments like these... And know that that memory is there when we are scared or others, scared of ourselves, scared of the past, present or future...
"Everything's gonna be alright"- Bob Marley
Next time I have one of these precious bliss moments, I'll be sure to let you all know! And I'd love to hear more. They make my day!

Ahhhhhhhh.......Magical moments of life! October, 13th, 2002 it was sunny the water was emerald green and love was all around me. My mother had flew in from Africa, my brothers and sisters with smiles on their faces and my father standing next to me telling me how beautiful I looked in my strapless white gown. The salt air blowing whisps of hair down my back as I walk down the sugary white beach towards the man of my dreams.
Seeing the tears in his eyes as I stand before him to say "I Do" knowing that I have a best friend, a life partner that truly loves me for me no matter what the faults and yet still chooses me to spend his life with. I have never known bliss as sweet as this before and I have never known love like this before. I have been blessed in this life with many great things friends, family and health but there is nothing like looking into someones eyes and seeing the future father of your children. Isn't life special!! Brace it, we spend such a short time on this beautiful planet and I wish you all the same great happiness as I felt on that day, without that I don't think life would have been complete. I send you all love and I must say what a great topic and Thank you Dutchess for letting me share that great day with all of you!

I had been suffering from a chronic illness for a few months and, although I hadn't acutely noticed it, I was feeling more and more fatigued and more and more depressed.
So my doctor put me on a short course of steroids which brought the disease back into remission in a matter of hours.
That night, I went to swim practice, dove in, and when I took my first stroke, it felt like a rocket blast going off. The feeling of a healthy, strong body driving me through the water like a torpedo was something I hadn't felt in months and it felt like dancing and flying all at once.

What a lovely thread this is...thank you Fairy
The last time I remember feeling this was at Glastonbury this year, Thursday morning at about 4am, just touching the first rays of dawn. We'd been out and about all night and were quite mashed really and very happy. I'd never really seen poi before, except the fire spinners I'd seen that night and some guy spun his poi full of iron filings...know what I mean? It looked absolutely fantastic in the dawn light, it looked like the morning sun coming up right in front of us, and then from over the tree tops came the sound of someone perfectly singing morning prayer, (Is that Muslim? Or perhaps Seek? I don't really know.....) It sounded beautiful and I lay back on the grass with my girlfriend and enjoyed a few moments of pure tranquility and bliss
A time I'll never forget
