humm, this is a pretty broad question
Id have to say meeting my wife, and falling in love. that proved to me that even S/A people have a chance. I cant imagine how lonely id be without her.
Also, giving blood regularly. Im a total wuss when it comes to needles but i like to think maybe im making a difference and helping someone somewhere.

Attending Leakycon 2011. I might never feel at home like this again.
I met Evanna Lynch. I hugged her. She told me I was cool. Signed my Hogwarts yearbook, and then I went and cried a bit. I got to meet Darren Criss. I hugged him. In the group picture I was next to him. I danced with awesome ppl at the ball. I got on stage and danced with the wrockstars and the starkid people 3,400 people attended and they were all like me. I might never feel so accepted again.
Of course you muggles are probably going "What the frunk is she going on about?"
I know what I feel! ...

I worked on the set of a documentary about the homeless women in Toronto.
Worked part time in community centers and shelters- met alot of women who still has a positive view of life even after everything they had been through.
We had to stay outside with some of the women who were living in a park, under a bridge-- we slept outside for 2 nights, filming and eating food they'd scavenged for everyone.
On the last day of filming, one of the women I'd gotten to know very well; an older lady in her 50's told me that I'm beautiful. At first, I took it the same way I usually do; assuming she meant that my face was pretty or something... but then she touched her chest and added; "in here." and I burst into tears.
It felt so strange hearing that from someone whom we hadn't even been directly helping- I always wish I could've done alot more for her and for all of the homeless who have no choice in the matter. It's very unfair.
The documentary raised a few grand that went entirely to homeless charities. Everyone agreed to work for free.
That was very rewarding to me.

The worst kind of reward!
After graduation, starting on a humble salary of £14k, and then a new company on £18k, and eventually £21k! This is the only scope a person can have of what you're worth is personal, when we rarely consider any friends' or colleagues' pay. All fine.
Then, a very, very AMERICAN-owned, based on American business policy... someone decided to invite me into their hive structure, at £30k. When the boss told me that, I was unaware of it, and I managed not to react the way I felt inside, and didn't fall straight of my chair. Twisted. Now pursuing £40k and £50k
I believe that twisted my career forever. Living like that was more than I ever expected. Since redundancy during cuts in 2003, I've not been accepted by other organisations. You have to stick with what you have, and I didn't realise that.
It's experiences in life that have destroyed me - used like a pawn on a chessboard... a peasant. Inside, I've coped with a lot of stuff - not just $£€ - health, low self-esteem and, overall, factors build into a summit of failure.
I'm just commenting. Not miserable.

Well mikebird you sound like a happy person ^_^
I'm glad there's great things in life awaiting those who least expect it.
You know what's funny? I envy the fact you live in the UK but not the fact that you make good money. That's how weird I am! LOl.
