Oh I love threads like this! It just helps me reflect on my life, and notice the little things that just make my day. Alright, here is a small list of things such as that:

1. Writing really long story pages!! (believe it or not, when I sit down at my computer, bring up word and write down pages and pages on a fan fiction, reflect on it and it's good..it just makes my day :) )

2. Talking with my BEST friend. (She is just so special to me...it makes my day to talk to her)

3. Watching Prince Caspian. (That's always makes my day)

4. Spending time with my Family (I have a big family...and when we sit down at the dinner table and laugh and tell jokes, tell stories and talk....it just makes the whole day)

5. Reading a great book

There is just a few things. ;) :D

A glimpse of my list, to prevent it being a mile long:

(And, yes, it's so interesting how little sentiments just bring sunshine!)

1. Notifications on Facebook (pretty much what Val said, lol.)/comments on my blog
2. When the person at Starbucks fills my empty cup with whipped cream for free.
3. When a random book I picked turns out to be real heart-warming.
4. Finishing my work before noon.
5. Reading
6. Writing
7. Grocery shopping
8. Friendly people
9. Talking to my sister
10. Waking up early in the morning and going out to a field.
11. Sight-seeing
12. History
13. Getting personalized mail.
14. Chocolate chip ice-cream & Cheeseburgers <3

What a wonderful idea for a thread! :) Thank you for starting it, Bella! :)

Let's see...some things that make my day:

1. E-mails from very close friends
2. Letters from my pen pal
3. Sunshine! I love late spring/early summer mornings particularly
4. Messages from the Lord- be it in the form of a verse in the Bible, a song to which I just "happen" to listen, or an encouraging and uplifting note/letter/e-mail from a friend
5. My family! :)
6. The folks here on NarniaWeb :ymhug:
7. Being able to read

Hmmm, I am sure there are much more things that make my day, but I'll just post those for now. :)

Things that make my day... ;)

1. I have no one to hover over me telling me me what I have to do or get done in a day.

2. Watching Avatar, Lost, or BBC Narnia.

3. Relaxing in a swimming pool on a hot day.

4. My mom being nice.

5. My good friends texting me saying they are coming over. (I know weird but I love my friends as though they are family that I want to see.)

6. VDT news, especially the good spoilers.)

I had the most AWESOME (not yelling- sorry mods) bird watching day today!
I saw a new species for starters, that's always good, but I used a green blanket as a bird blind and sat out by a bird feeder. It was great, they came within inches of me from all sides. Totally made my day today, probably the entire weekend :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ... Now, if I can just get a camera or camcorder...

LH, Pandora is also a brand name in the Jewelry store Jareds.

Wow the name Pandora is really taking over. Yeah I know what radio station you are talking about on the internet. My friend introduced it to me and I loves it. :D

This is a lovely thread! :D I'm smiling just reading through everyone's lists.

Things that turn a bad day into good, or a good day into great...

1. Big hugs
2. A little person in your lap
3. The smell of rain
4. A book (either new and exciting, or old and well-loved)
5. A smile from a stranger
6. Unexpected affirmation from someone you care about
7. Peach milkshakes ;))
8. Laughing until you cry
9. A sudden idea for a story
10. Moments when God amazes me with His majesty (even in something as small as a butterfly )
the light after the storm
shows that hope was never gone
