What's the best part of your life right now?

Damn. Amazing. Are you in the States? What's your latitude/geography like? Do you have a water source, as well as electricity?
We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)
We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.
We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.

What's bringing you joy?
What’s bringing me joy ? When I go back home after a day of work and my daughters (7y) run towards me with a real smile. Knowing that she is really happy to see me.

A friend just had his first kid yesterday, he’s so happy it’s honestly contagious. Everyone in our group is already doting the kid and he’s only 12 hours old.

Is this a trick question?

Aw man, that's the best stuff, isn't it

Wedding prep
I think a lot of people find that stressful, but really you get to tailor a big party that includes all of the closest people in your life to see you celebrate love

I'm more excited for the future after the wedding, to be honest, haha. It's just most fun to be in the moment right now is all.

The home server im setting up. I can finally break free of the clutches of cloud storage.
Oh buddy, I'm right there with you. I just got a free cpu and mobo off marketplace and got my own thing running, I had so much fun figuring it all out

I have about 2 months left of college (Canada). Going to be graduating with about a 3.9GPA. Finally going to have a degree to my name and hopefully going to be having a job right away when im finished.
Congratulations, I hope you find gainful employment swiftly!

Post surgery sick leave. My body is still a bit fucked but it's also the most time off I've had in one go in years.
Rest well and I hope you make a full recovery and enjoy this time of peace in your life

The possiblities. The potential. Recently I have overcome my trauma and I have energy to spare on doing things I want to do.
Yes, this is a great outlook, you can do anything!

I think I've done a reasonable job improving my dovetail jig.
That 12 inch Porter Cable model; it has some problems with repeatability. The reference marks are quite wide and positioned in a way to give a lot of parallax error. There was no real way to quantify how far you've moved the template in and out, which meant it's basically guaranteed to come out of alignment. So I took a knife to it. Scribed the alignment line around all the tines and put graduation marks on the brass thumb wheels. It's a lot easier to be deliberate in adjusting this thing now.
It still needs a few other things here and there, and I need to put those alignment marks on other templates. But it's a start.
That's awesome! Dovetails a plenty in your future!

I'm teaching guitar to a couple of students in town. I've started doing an active listening at the end of our shared class. I'm introducing them to all kinds of music they haven't heard and I love it. They're responding and listening to some new albums outside of the genres they've liked.
Thank you for the opportunity to share some good.
That's awesome, I used to teach guitar, and I wish I had thought of that as an idea for incorporating into a lesson.

Not really anything but I can do valuable and meaningful stuff.

Not a damn thing. There aren't enough words in the English language to express the animosity I feel towards this world.
I think that not feeling any semblance of happiness is a feature of life at certain times, and I'm sorry that you are feeling that way. The world is neither a place of good or bad, but a mix of both, and if you're not able to see both sides, you're missing something. I hope that you're able to find some happiness in your life, and if it's at all in your control, I suggest you open yourself up to letting it in.

My crow bro, Kenny. Most days I go for a walk after work and meet up with him to feed him some peanuts or dog food.
This is so fucking cool, nobody I know has a crow bro. How did y'all grow to be friends?

I have a ticket out of the US
Cool, where you headed? (if you're open to sharing)

The bees. All our hives made it through winter and a fairly mild spring so far has given them a boost. Queens are laying like crazy, workers are working hard.
I've started wearing very thin gloves while inspecting the hives after realising that they make it less likely I'll be stung, because I can be gentler. A bonus is that I can feel the warmth of the bees, and that really does bring me joy.
This is so cool, especially the bee warmth, I never thought of them putting off much heat, but I imagine with enough of them they would!
-
Cycling now that the weather's warmer. My family and pets. Coffee and word games.
Thanks for the reminder to look for the good. I often feel like there should be so much more, but I know that's more than some people have, so I should feel lucky.
My pleasure, it's actually brought me great joy to read about everyone else's slices of happiness

Getting together with my friends online a couple times a week to play R.E.P.O.. I've been going through a rough patch with my fiance recently and being able to get out of my head and sneak around haunted houses has been really helpful
Gaming with the pals, one of the great pleasures in life, I'm glad you have that going for you!
