What was great about 2008? [A thread of positivity]

[Tumble]

Creating a small human has to be the high point of my life, let alone my year
Finishing the End 2 End and not dying or coming last
Being given permission to purchase a very expensive new mountain bike

Fifth and final season of the sublime "The Wire"

Getting a fantastic new job in the height of the downturn.

Something 'clicked' inside me and I've enjoyed my family life so much more it's indescribable, my relationship with my wife and three children is better than it has ever been.

Finally I even feel happy on occasions.

Great post OP, we need more like this.

1) REM gig in Manchester
Somewhere lower) everything else

While it's not been a bad year by any means, nothing else deserves to go on my list.
