Congrats, Petunia! That is wonderful being considered for a Chicken Soup book.

I think my happiest moment was the day after my husband retired. He had decided he wanted to go out for breakfast (on a work day :-) as his first act of retirement, to feel like being retired, and that was fun. It still is fun to realize that it's a random mid-afternoon during a weekday and we're not at work. I love being together with him, being able to suggest an activity, etc. and we do it and being able to go to bed/get up when I want, etc.
