Yes indeed, great post and a great thread,

You just have to 'have life', get out there and grab it large. I am the luckiest man alove, a brilliant wife, fantastic son, I am privaledged to know so many people through biking,, I have my music, health and happiness....and all wrapped up in the most amazing country in the wprld that i felll humbled and lucky to live in.

Yeah, doom and gloom is all around, people spit and scrath and piss ball about over the smallest things (motorcycle politics....what the FUCK is that...!!) but after all is said and done, a smile and a giggle from your kids, a new sunrise, the stars at night, it all says you are alive.

As my mantra says:

I am not afraid to die, but I am terrified of not living....

Peace, health, love and happiness xxxx

I think it's great that there are those out there who share my sentiment....
Those fantastic life moments that could never be repeated and that are only experienced once. Even with the not so good times I still my life...

[oldrider]

There is so much doom and gloom at times that it can be quite depressing. It is those little moments in life that are just there for an instant and then gone the next. Those times where you feel really happy, or when someone has made your day and know that life is great. So I thought I'd share my moment......


Today I woke up to find that my two children had snuck into bed with me during the night. I looked at their peaceful sleeping faces, and listened to their little snores and it made me think just how much I loved them and how there was nowhere in the world that I'd rather be at that moment than with them curled up in bed.....

Sigh.

When I go to bed tonight I am going to ask the tooth fairy if there is any chance that I can wake up in bed with you tomorrow too! (sounds nice)

I have also asked that your children will still be asleep in their own beds too, snoring away, still lookin cute!

awwwwwww, lubbly!

I'm a glass half full kind of chap & take an almost childish delight in all the good & beautiful things around me. Even when life is kicking me in the guts I'm sneakily happy that I'm here to feel that & look forward to a happier day to balance things out again.

Right, I'm off to the Kingdom Hall for a group hug & a sing a long.

I was asked by the year 10 PE teacher at my kids school if I could go on the school camp this year (I've been on a few) So thinking it might be embarrassing for master 14 asked him over dinner if he would mind me going.. "Aw cool Dad, can I be in your group" he answered... well... it's the little things that tell you you're doing it right. I was pretty chuffed with that response.

Some of the funniest moments in my life were when my kids were toddlers...with their individual personalities developing they used to do and say the funniest things... I really miss that now they are getting older. But I can still look back on those moments and they still bring a smile to my face.

Life only really began to make sense to me when we got our grandkids ... love em to bits! (and their parents too of course!)

My Daughter is 25, she drops her awesome dog off every morning for me to look after (I work from home) we have breakfast and a coffee, she picks him up every evening.
My 23 yr old son and I live together. We are good mates.
Those magical moments can go on for ever - well it seem like it anyway.

I've told my kids that first one to give me a grandchild is cut out of the will.
I'm way too young to be called grandad.
