What was the happiest moment in your life?

Seen similar threads for sad moments so thought this might be a nice similar thread!

what has been the key happiest moment in your entire life? A time when you just felt warm, happy and the best you could possibly feel?

I’ll go first- I’ve had two happiest moments.

The first was being cosy and warm during a terrible thunderstorm. I was on the couch, the fireplace was on and my dog was cuddled into me. She was sleeping and snoring away, and I was petting her head and telling her she was the best dog ever. I just suddenly felt so emotional and thought about how precious she was to me and how much I loved her to bits. She’s been a shoulder for me to cry beside no matter what I’ve gone through and she’s my bestest friend in the whole world. She was happy, cosy, snoring away and it was just such a lovely moment.

the other time was actually years ago with my childhood pony. We were just going for a walk in the field - bareback with no saddle, bridle, helmet or tack! She took off in a gallop and I clung on to her mane for dear life but it was absolutely amazing. I could feel the wind on my face and in my hair and we were galloping through the fields like in some kind of Disney movie. I have no idea how I stayed on, and thank god I did as I probably would have knocked myself out with no helmet on, but it was one of the most exciting, thrilling and happiest moments of my life. I’ve galloped my horses millions of times in childhood as even now as an adult (always with tack and a helmet now lol) and I still absolutely love it, but there was something so special about that one particular time. It was honestly like in a Disney movie. She was a particularly cheeky pony but she kept me so safe that day and she just wanted to have fun. I remember feeling so free and happy, like nothing could ever hurt us and everything was so unbelievably perfect, it was like we could take on the world.

anyone else have a key, happiest moment in their life?😀

I was 15. A bunch of us had hiked up into the mountains to look for a waterfall we'd heard about. It was a stunning day. We found the place, and below the fall the river widened out over smooth boulders and shallow pools. We'd only been there about 20 minutes when we heard music - turns out some of the boys had found another route and had hiked up with a bbq and coolbox. They made a big show of giving everyone cold drinks and then started bbqing snacks. They were so pleased with themselves and we all found it hillarious. The music was loud - there was no one for miles. I sat in a shallow pool like an upturned turtle, arms and legs in the sun, sipping a cold drink and watching my lovely friends messing around. I was so happy in that moment. I wanted to remember every detail. I remember thinking that if this is the absolute peak of my existence it would be fine.

It wasn't even close to the peak - I've been very lucky in my life. But I still remember that feeling, sitting in that rock pool.
