.
That one onion ring that sometimes makes its way into your order of french fries.
I am still trying to figure that out.
That makes me happy too!
The people and pets that I love and love me back.
Why don't you just order onion rings?
Oh yes, yes, good one. 
Puppy dogs, bonfires, cold beer, belly laughs, thunderstorms, hot coffee, snow-laden pines, private jokes, lemon meringue pie, babies, butterfies, dancing in the rain, pickups, chili, books, water, wrenching, God, massages, flowers, music, pot roast, hammocks, walking in the forest, pizza, smiles, alcohol, cards/games, little kids, laying on my back and watching the stars, bacon, tinkering, wildlife, foot rubs, making love, rivers, old people, writing, puzzles, daisies, hard work, kisses, the smell of bread baking, getting my neck and back cracked, special people who get me, minding my own business, love and puppy dogs.
"The alternative sounds really depressing."
doing the things that you love.
nature.
a few people here and there.
Hope.
for a better day.
Music and cuddles, good food, a few good people, the power of nature--the beauty in its fragility and resilience... Even this song about having nothing to live for is enough to sustain me on my worst days:
trash bin liners
