<p>No matter how small or seemingly foolish it sounds, what makes your day better no matter what?</p>
<p>During the summer, its definitely hearing from school friends I haven’t talked to in a while.</p>
<p>yay!! I love this thread – I try to find one thing I’m thankful for everyday. </p>
<p>For me, it’s
No line where I go to eat lunch
Phone call from my boyfriend (who I haven’t seen in over 2 months)
Smiles from random people
Compliments
Busy day at work
Waking up early enough to take a loooong shower
Good hair days
Finding money in my jacket/pants
the list goes on… </p>
<p>yeah I’m a happy-go-lucky type of girl</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>haha. i dunno about that one. </p>
<p>i personally love it when the weather is perfect while i play tennis outside, especially if i’m “on” that day. </p>
<p>i also love it when someone randomly offers you some food or candy you haven’t had in a long time that you didn’t even know you were craving until they offered it to you.</p>
<p>also meeting some fine guy always makes my day.</p>
<p>Getting a hug from one of my close female friends! All of them give great hugs! One of them however, is really strong and she sometimes hurts my ribs, lol!</p>
<p>Seeing my dog do something cute, like resting his head on my stomach when I lay down.
Hearing a song I haven’t heard in a while
Finding money (no matter how little)
Looking in the mirror and not looking like a mess
Coming downstairs to find that someone cooked me breakfast
Waking up and realizing I have no work to do</p>
<p>ice cream
yum :)</p>
<p>nothing…</p>
<p>panic, i’m sorry to hear that.</p>
<p>as for me, the usual stuff:</p>
<p>-Jogging
-a good song played on the radio
-nice weather
-compliments
-a good night’s sleep
-talking
-journaling
-reuniting with people i haven’t seen in a long time. it does happen a lot.
-taking day trips to downtown chicago. i do this probably 3-4 times a week.
-a cold drink, like a malt freeze or something similar
-to know that i’m feeling well. i had been lightheaded for weeks, so i no longer take my health for granted.</p>
<p>Lemon Meringue Pie :)</p>
<p>little ways of therapy at my customer service job.</p>
<p>like doodling on the backs of duplicate reciepts.
or putting on a creepy Wiggles video on the display TVs.
or wearing a ‘RISE F—ING AGAINST’ shirt under the hideous Hawaiian shirts they’re making us wear.</p>
<p>today I got my own shiny new boxcutter, and this thrills me a bit more than it should.</p>
<p>when someone tells me that my skin looks good/glowing/smooth/whatever</p>
<p>-chocolate. xD lol
-playing with my little cousins.
-a gorgeous day.
-writing.
-hanging out in the pool.
-reading a good book.
-hugs. =)</p>
<p>getting paid.</p>
<p>chocolate!!!</p>
<p>and sleep!!!</p>
<p>-definitely compliments, smiles (esp from females)
-meeting somebody new who is cool
-not forgetting money for lunch/having more in my wallet/bank account than i expected, etc
-talking to someone (for a good reason) i never figured id be talking to
-alcohol makes me happy too!</p>
<p>-walking past a cute guy and knowing that he’s turning his head to follow me; it happens rarely, and arguably, it’s slightly objectionable, but it’s so satisfying to know that I look good!
-watching my daily dose of Friends<br>
-when my mom comes back from the mall with new clothes for me even if I didn’t ask for anything.
-my monthly paycheck!! (Got it yesterday; I was happy!)
-compliments of course
-eating a tiny piece of ghiradelli dark chocolate; that stuff is sent from heaven, I swear</p>
<p>The one thing that can ruin my day in a snap:
-my mother asking, “How are the college application essays going? Make sure you’re working on them!” (as if I need to be reminded!! What the heck!?) and unfortunately, she asks nearly every day…sighh…</p>
<p>for today.</p>
<p>Steve Job’s Stanford Commencement Speech
Not exactly happy but makes me thoughtful.</p>
<p>^I read that; it was surprising, but very intriguing too…I didn’t know he wasn’t a college grad…</p>
<p>Compliments 
hanging out with friends
a good test grade
people smiling at me :)</p>
<p>Favorite song on the radio: who wouldn’t perk up to Toby Mac’s Burn for You? “I am alive again, I am revived again…” Just makes me want to burst through the ceiling with energy and optimism.</p>
