A Happy Place

[ray1970]

So, with all of the negativity and grumpiness in the world and with it seemingly getting way out of hand over the last year or so, I thought we could use a thread full of positivity.

If anyone has anything heartwarming or positive to share please feel free to post about it here.

Maybe you did something kind for a stranger? Maybe a stranger surprised you with an act of kindness? Maybe you experienced some sort of positive event recently in your life and just want to share the story?

Debbie Downers and Negative Nancys feel free to peddle your goods elsewhere.

So there’s this guy I know, although not very well. He always struck me as a no-nonsense man’s man. Don’t mess with him, he won’t mess with you. Piss him off, you will know. Man of his word, but not a syrupy sort.

Then he starts a thread for heartwarming and positive posts!

Now that’s heartwarming.

What a coincidence. Ray1970 just did the same thing right here!

Actually, all kidding aside, I ran across this YouTube video and thought it was pretty touching:

My older son is currently deployed. He and his wife have 3 youngsters-two boys 4 & 7 and a 20 month old baby girl. His wife has her hands full. Last weekend the boys spent Saturday and most of Sunday with me. We had a blast, they?re very easy kids for me. Went out for dinner Saturday night, back to my house, after baths we watched ?Bolt? while having ice cream. Sunday morning we went out for breakfast then to the park for some more fun times. Back to my house for lunch and fun with Legos before back to their home.

The outside world was a far away thought. My daughter-in-law looked well rested when I dropped the boys off. Excellent way to spend the weekend before going back to work.

The other day I was driving through my neighborhood and saw this guy out in someone's front yard. I pulled over to tell the guy it was awesome and asked if I could take a picture because my teenager keeps talking about wanting a snake. He said, "Just bring her over, I've got 20 more!" So I turned around and picked her up. He brought out a few.

This one is a 4 year-old male that he says only weighs something like 25-40lbs, it felt heavier when I picked up the front 1/3. He said you swear they weigh over 100lbs, then you take it to the vet and it's only 25lbs. I'd guess this one was at least 50lbs. His biggest is 18' and weighs 120lbs. He said he can't get that one out by himself.


Same 4 year-old male and 2 year-old female. Loved the color on that girl snake.


Got to hold a few others.

A guy on Armslist read my wanting 30/40 Krag ammo and gave me 36 rounds, just because he wanted someone to be able to get some enjoyment from it!

Part of the background music was from the film Patton. That warmed my heart.

Another forum I'm on has 2 long-running threads:

-What has MADE your day today?
-What has pissed you off today?
