Things that Make Your Day

[Aslanisthebest]

Haha, well...

Seeing as we have a Things that Annoy You thread, it seems right to have a positive thread at things that make you really happy.

I'll think up a short list...sooner or later.

For starters, new books are always a delight!

[Glenstorm the Great]

The littlest things make my day. Someone just saying "lol" to something I said or giving me a or make me very happy. Anything little like that. Or suprises. And one thing that makes me especially happy is when someone understands me (or at least part of me ). Like why I like a certain song or book or why I don't like cheesecake or Twilight ( ). Or when someone doesn't make fun of my allergies and general nerd-iness .

This thread.

(Specifically, that someone actually posted a thread about the nice things that happen, instead of just complaining about the bad things. )

Having a warm sunny day - again - even though it's now the third month of autumn! (my cherry tree still most of its leaves and lots are green! weird)

[narnian_at_heart]

7. Checking the mail and there being something for me in there.
8. Sunshine (where I live, it's frequently cloudy. It'll sometimes be a nice warm day but it's cloudy so sun is nice)
9. Dancing to music!!!
10. iTune's free single of the week being a song that I actually like (that's only been twice in the past sixth months are so)

[StudyMate]

Hmm...

Things that make my day include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Finding a handwritten letter in the mail addressed to me!
2. Finding a letter in the mail for me.
3. Finding mail.
4. Written messages in general, on sticky-notes, normal notes, text messages, wall posts, nice long emails....for me, words that express thoughtfulness make my day.
3. Crisp apple strudel, and schnitzel with noodles (actually I take that last bit back, who has noodles with their schnitzel anyway?)
3 1/2. Corny jokes! [see above point for clarification]
4. Brown paper packages tied up with string (my modern day equivalent would be brown paper boxes that deliver your internet shopping)
5. A good book and movie; or a combination of the two blended to perfection totally makes my day.
6. Finding that quirky piece that made sorting through the other things in an op-shop worth it!
7. A nice, hot cup of coffee on a generally miserable day.
8. Strangers who smile back at you when you pass by them.
9. Cute elderly couples crossing the street.

Lion'sEmblem: ...Finding a solution to a problem that has bothered me for a long time.

Yes and yes. Totally day-making material.

Seeing as we have a Things that Annoy You thread, it seems right to have a positive thread at things that make you really happy.

I'd been thinking about starting one but I couldn't think of a good subject.

Crisp apple strudel, and schnitzel with noodles (actually I take that last bit back, who has noodles with their schnitzel anyway?)

I don't know. Most of the time I see schnitzel offered with french fries. That's the way it came when I got in in Germany. When I read your post, that song got stuck in my head.

Here's my list (It isn't in any particular order)

1. Watching the BBC's CoN, especially when someone else suggests it. (I'm actually watching VDT right now)
2. Watching Walden's Narnia
3. Being on NarniaWeb
4. Finding people I have something in common with, especially when it's something I didn't expect anyone to understand. Like in this quote by Lewis: "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
5. Getting new news, pictures, etc. about VDT
6. Snuggling with a cat (especially if it is Mystery because she doesn't often do it)
7. Reading a good book
8. When God answers my prayers /learning something new from the Bible
9. Getting emails / letters that are personal (i.e. not newsletters, ads, etc., but are specifically for me
10. When I haven't subbed somewhere in a while and a kid or kids come up and give me a hug and tell me they missed me
11. Finding that there is a dessert I like at a banquet, restaurant, party, etc.

[daughter of the King]

1. when I don't have any homework (sadly, that hardly ever happens)
2. when I'm taking pictures and I get a really good shot
3. reading a good book
4. watching a good movie
5. finding out something new and interesting
6. when things run exactly as they're supposed to
7. my nephew and niece (they're so cute and funny!)
8. chocolate-mint anything
9. anything that makes me smile
10. a large milkshake
