Purely Good trips?

Perhaps the title is deceiving.. I don't mean "good trips" in the sense that you learn something from them, because I realize you can take valuable information and experiences from the worst of times on mushrooms. My question is this.. I've read so much about people's trips being incredible and completley devoid of hardship. Is this true?
I've only tripped twice, but each time I've gone through a tough part of the trip - where I'm not particularly enjoying it, but am certainly thinking and thinking some more. Do any of you have trips that are just completley devoid of negativity? It seems almost impossible with the complexity of thoughts that mushrooms cause to have a trip that is *ONLY* positive, fun, and lighthearted. Both of my trips during the "tough spots" I pulled myself out of it, and on the whole had a good time. But I certainly can not say that the entire trip was cake, like a lot of the posts and experiences I read about. These tough spots seems to come at the peak of the trip for me.
Also, does anyone else particularly enjoy the comedown? For me its just so relaxing and I feel so content with everything. It is certainly not the most profound part of the trip, but for me its the easiest and most enjoyable, relaxing part.
Anyone else feel either of these ways?

I've had trips like you describe. The first two trips after I started growing were like that, the comedown wasn't even comfortable on one of them. I feel like my good trips since then (and the were real good) were due to experience: being able to accept the conditions of the drug. That may sound odd, either fight the "negative" feelings, or accept the possibility that sinking into the sensation (don't judge the feelings) without "interfearing" with what's going on can result in a positive experience. One of my favorite things, and this can also help with bad feelings during the peak, is to slowly breathe in and exhale. It makes your heart and throat, and any other chakra feel really good

My first trip ever was completely fun and carefree; I was dancing around my school at 2 am listening to Warren Zevon. I had great visuals and great overall time with almost no introspection. (Which is strange since almost all of my other trips have been rather introspective). Aside from having a great time on that first trip, I did take something away from it. I remembered thinking of all the positive energy and light I was exuding and how powerful this can be and how it isn't lame to think happiness and positive thinking *can indeed* invoke ...***********OK so this is where I left off 40 minutes ago. In that time I have smoked 3 grams of skunk/ak from the volcano (after of course grinding it in the coffee grinder and dumping some kif on) and I am obscenely high right now. I am watching the Talking Head's Stop Making Sense so instead of finishing that sentence, I'm going to morph into the t.v. and play with dave, tina, chris, and jerry...

yeah, my first trip was carefree. Sharing a blanket with a very special girl, very pleasant "warm" feeling, some decent visuals, but mostly just euphoria.
Second was kind of like that, but i had my first experience with "it" so.. it wasnt bad, as it was nothing major, but it was pretty mind-shaking.
Third trip went bad.
And now i dont have connections for mush or anything.

Ive had many many purely good trips. I would actually say that majority of the trips that I've ever had (and I'm nearing 100) were completely positive. Last spring, there was a time where I was tripping weekly and every single week I had a new 'best day of my life'.
I learned that it simply requires a good mindset going into the trip. If you overwhelm your sober mind with positive energy, it is extremely hard to fall into a bad trip or even a mildly negative one. Not that its impossible, because I have crashed quite hard mid-trip and I had an extremely horrifying experience, but occurances like that are rare.
Anyway, yeah, it's completely possible.

I am yet to have a bad trip. I feel almost under priveleged for never experiencing a bad trip! I go into shrooming completely clear minded and just think about what comes to me, I guess I can ride the mind waves so well I have yet to crash, but I'm almost looking foward to the day I do just for the experience. Does that make me strange? 
Anyway I'm not going to try and jinx it here, I love my trips 100% and I am yet to catch a negative vibe, whether it could show me a thing or two, or not.
-------------------- I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.

I've had a few 100% all-good trips, but those are normally also times I've had MDMA in my system 
Mushrooms have always been a bit of good/bad for me, however I dont really consider the bad to be bad - just a part of the overall expierence, and I enjoy those parts also.

This is very true, especially if you do the breathing with your mouth open. You then get this weird sensation of being "connected with the atmosphere" which is quite a revelation!
