For me ; first heavy snowfall of the season, when a STP song comes on the radio, and when someone brings a litter of kittens in for their deworming and first vaccines to the clinic. Special feelings that cannot be replaced. I feel like these things were kept in mind specifically to bring me joy

If you mean something that brings a smile, there’s a couple song’s but the mut is probably the one that can do it the most, he likes socks.

My daughter, and the one I wake up with every morning. Not much else matters in my world.

If you mean what gives you a smile you cant wipe off your face, rubbing on a good dog and seeing a good set of horns in the scope are near the top. Others are seeing my apple trees in bloom, finding new apple trees growing here, a good campfire on a Fall or Spring day and the craftsmanship of a quality old rifle.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Sipping on some coffee while listening to a pair of coyotes howl on a mid June morning with a 5mph wind in your face and the rising sun on your back. Unloading the dogs and grabbing the rifle and moving in on em.

Making any of my family members smile when they are feeling down
The smell of a fresh skunk
The excitement of my dog when I bring critters home

The excitement of seeing a nice buck in the crosshairs. The sight of another catch in the trap to prove this trapper is not as crappy as he thinks he is. But mostly hugging my 3 kids and telling them I love them. Hugging my wife and loving it every time she says if I die she wants to go with me at the same time. Loving on my slobbery bloodhound.

Coming around the corner of a crick bank and seeing a minks tail waving lazily in the current while it's paw is wearing a victor bracelet

That first really nice day in spring when you just can't NOT go fishin.... hearing squirrels cutting the hickory nuts and knowing that fall is finally coming.... spending time talking about nothing and everything with someone important to you.... hearing the jangle of a trap chain in the dark before you can see anything... remembering fond memories of lost loved ones.... standing outside at night in the dark and cold and watching/feeling the snow come down all around you and listening to the silence it brings.... and dogs... everything about dogs.

Days my wife feels good, seeing my grandchildren, playing with our dogs and when my favorite sports teams win.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Sipping on a hot cup of coffee infront of the wood stove on a cold winter morning while watching the sunrise.
