Is it exercise and the euphoric endorphins released? An ocean swim on a crystal clear day? A friendly smile from a stranger on the street? A gripping book? Wonderful friends and family? What about your pet dog, Sparky? Do you love an insane belly laugh that brings tears to the eyes and makes you feel like you've done 1,000 sit-ups? Or do you get joy out of free hugs?

Many things give me a natural high. Exercise is one, how great that feels for one's own body and mind. I also love singing for the public by going to karaoke. Singing is my passion, I thrive on it, makes me feel so good and at the same time if I can give that feeling to another then I have succeeded for more than myself. Another love is watching my finches, wrens and other birds use the bird bath. Their antics and enjoyment of the simple things such as water is so fulfilling, gives me a laugh.
