Umm, I think it was when I got into UCLA. I screamed in the middle of the street and ran back into my house after reading the letter.

Well, honestly I think college acceptances was where I was the most satisfied.

I've been happy about grades in college where I get surprisingly good grades for certain classes, but never like "HIGHEST POINT IN MY LIFE" feeling.

I'm sure it'll be surpassed many times over before I'm done in this world, but right now the most satisfying point in my life was the day I learned that my chemo was done. I was diagnosed in April 2005, had surgery two weeks before my wedding and hoped that all was well. I had a recurrence in April 2006 and did nine weeks of chemo. The day I walked into the oncology office for my last shot of Bleomycin, only to leave an hour later without being pricked because my markers had been down for several weeks was one of the best in my life.

I don't know the words to describe how I felt when I walked out of the office....I was walking on air for the rest of the day. Chemo itself really wasn't that bad; I had a good attitude and I did my part to make sure it went off as well as it could. Knowing that day that I was finally done for good, though, was just awesome.

Man, two weeks before your own wedding. Talk about a life changing span of your life.

That is spectacular.. congratulations on all that, I haven't a clue how I would get out of bed at all after that. I'm used to having everything in my life planned and put into neat little boxes, but when something unexpected like that comes along, I'd just be way to overwhelmed to ever get back on track.
 
i felt pretty good when i checked my grades from last semester today, and found out i got a 3.46

(to understand why i felt good, you have to realize i was expecting somewhere between a 2.0 and a 2.5.. cause i did absolutely NO homework the whole semester...)
 
I'll let you know when I have one.

Actually, I suppose getting my current job. Finally got out of PA and am doing something I love, for a decent pay.
 
Back when my ex & i were in love (the first year).

I was honestly really happy with life.

Of course, all good things must come to an end :|

I feel for you man. I'm in the same boat. 🙁
 
A combination of witnessing my best friends getting married at 2 weddings last year, being best man for both of them and hearing I'd done an awesome job.
 
Making the decision to get my ass in shape 4 years ago.

Been running 15 - 20 miles/week ever since.

I wouldn't call children "satisfying", though. Rewarding and emotional? Very much. "Satisfying" will be watching them graduate high school and then, hopefully, college.

Ditto here.

My wife and I used to be madly in love with one another. No we just share living space. It's not hostile or anything like that, but it's like we're invisible to each other.

🙁:beer:

 
Walking down the pier as I transfered off the submarine I had been working on for the previous two and a half years. The stress relief was so great that I gave off an uncontrolled primal scream walking off the pier. The thought of that scream still embarrasses me. That experience as a mechanic in the Navy on a submarine, working 90 weeks when inport and round the clock when out at sea, was easily the most difficult part of my life. It was a huge relief to walk away from the pressure and stress. I was so happy to have successfully completed that tour of duty and could not believe it was over.

The next similarly satisfying point in my life was starting college classes at the end of my six year enlistment. I had wanted out of the Navy for the previous five years of that enlistment. The dream of school gave me the motivation to get through each long day in the Navy.

What? I thought the most satisfying point in your life was installing an Open-Source Linux Software Distribution, because it gave you So Much Freedom and got you out from Under The Thumb of the Big Box Software Dealers like M-Dollar-Sign?

So far for me, finishing my last final in college ever.

The build-up, the relief, and all the work put in in the 4 years by finishing college seems to be unmatchable by anything else that can happen to me again...except maybe the marriage/kids thing.

What is yours?

passing state boards.

It was definitely a life-changing span 😉

It's really not that bad, though. It seems like an impossible thing to face, until you're there. Once you're diagnosed, though, you don't really have a choice. It's either deal with it, or die. Dealing with it, in that scenario, is actually rather easy 😀
