Oh!! I just enjoy them and I'm not down anymore, but here are some anyway, just in case:

-Faith (reading memorable meaningful passages)
-Dancing
-Music
-Running, Weightlifting (Not the action per se but the entire process:
the focus, being with oneself, letting all the distractions fade away, often
a zen-like meditative experience!! If I ignore you you now know why. :) )
-Beautiful Ladies (note not "girls" Neo!!! :P Remember those underage
ones in another thread!)
-Relationships that matter -- family, friends

Health and well being
Good food
Silence
The happiness I feel when I see babies and young children
Qi Gong, Yoga and Tai Chi
Meditation
Salsa and Swing dancing
Being at the beach on a windy and foggy day when no one is around - enjoying the stillness and the voice of the crashing waves.
Smiling at someone and receiving a smile in return
 
Other than being down because of my dancing, I usually do not let myself get there.
However, if I do:

A smile from my wife - or dancing with her
A "real" hug from anyone

If those don't snap me out of it . . .

Playing my guitar
Preparing a gourmet meal (I love to ccok)
Meditating
Going for a drive (truck or Harley)
Listening to classical music (no blues, no country, no alcohol)
Going clothes shopping

And lastly, something I recently discovered:
There is a travel channel on high-definition television, that shows HD-videos of outstanding, specific interest locations thoughout the world. Usually, each show centers on one country/location. The videos are breathtaking in high-definition . . . it's almost as if you were there and it was "live." Scenes taken in airplanes can almost cause "a fear of heights" sensation. This will take your mind off of anything that has you down. This world is simply a beautiful place . . . . even Canada!
 
Owls (especially Great Horned, Barred, Eastern Screech and Long-Eared) :wink:
Cats

Playing me guitar
'62 Gibson cherry-red SG guitars
Fodera Monarch basses (wish I had the $$ for one of these bad-boys)
Mellotrons
Hammond Organs


EC Swing
Hustle
Cha-Cha
Foxtrot

A fiery, passionate dance where you and your partner REALLY connect and create!

French Roast coffee
Peppermint Tea
Theakston's Olde Peculiar or Anchor Steam beer
Snapple Mint Ice Tea

A "real" hug from anyone
Health and well being
Good food
Smiling at someone and getting one back
Bicycling
Long Walks

Sound of a jet or turboprop engine winding up
60's cars

1960's Batman
Seinfeld
King Of The Hill
The Simpsons
Uproarious Laughter

Beautiful sunsets & sunrises
Sounds of crickets and owls at night

Great music in many forms (blues, swing, jazz, classical, REAL country-not the fake pop-crossover stuff, progressive rock, rock, some metal, soul/R&B, House)
 
Hey Phil . . . we have a lot in common . . .

Playing the guitar, and I hae an SG at the house right now trying it out . . . the guy only wants a "few" $$$ for it, ad I wanted to make sur eit was OK.

I'm looking of a good basss under $1k as I seem to be playing more bass lately . . . someone told me that Schecter makes a real good bass for around $700 . . .

And I just ordered a cheapie Casio keyboard form musician's friend to use for a drum maching, metronome, and accompanying me as I play. I can plays the keyboard a little . . .

Same dances other than WCS and I do not Foxtrot very well

French Roast coffee
Snapple Mint Ice tea - can't believe you wrote that one!

I'm the best hugger . . . I really give them

Smiling and getting them back . . it's personal thing of mine to do everyday to a stranger . . .

I used to be a turboprop mechanic on C-130s . . .

I have a 69 Z-28 . . .

I shoot lots of sunset pictures, in fact one shot, is my screen saver!

The sound of crickets is on my sound machine beside the bed that is used to drown out extraneous noises when I cannot sleep

The exact same music . . . add classical
