Have to go with this one.... all the things in life that are free... woodland smells, waves crashing off rocks, sunsets. storms.. all nature and nothing compares..it gives me a wonderful sense of nature and what life was meant to be all about..but lifts the spirits to another dimension.. just beautiful. I also love being around old structures and houses with a past..mystical.

I feel most alive...when I'm doing something that could get me killed, and immediately after, when the experience has not left me dead or severely injured. There is no other 'high' like it. The elation and exhilaration cannot be compared to anything else.

So many things make me feel alive.

It could be on one of my late night bike rides when the endorphin kick is flowing. It's like a drug to me now and I crave it.

It could be when I'm with my shorties and laughing at their antics. My girls have been with me for two nights now and I don't want them to go home today

It could be first thing in the morning when my dogs and cat come running into the bathroom and there's one giant group hug.

It could be with sex and that one thing that John does that makes me want more, just like that endorphin rush. I'm totally addicted.

Adrenaline rushes of any kind make me feel totally alive. I do kind of miss working in ER once in awhile. Fighting to save someone's life is both intense and exciting. Nope. I'm not going back to work for it

Roller coasters

Being in a cage with three lions when I was a teenager made me feel totally alive. I'll never forget it, nor will I do it again.

So did riding a horse bareback in an open field at a full gallop. Nope. Won't be doing that again either. Sigh.

Hmmm cage diving with a great white Yes I'll do it!!!!

not to be dramatic, but when I hiked to the top of my first 14'er a few years ago.

Also, when I used to drag race (legally, btw, at a drag strip). Nothing like flooring it from 0 to 100+ MPH legally, pure adrenaline.
