What made you smile today?

[Kenna]

A restful, peaceful afternoon.
Cuddles with my dog.
Looking forward to this evening.

[cinnamongrrl]

Having a great day at work...

Coming home to a happy puppy...

Making myself a nice, healthy dinner...

Going for a long awaited hike to Graveyard Fields on the Parkway
http://www.hikewnc.info/besthikes/graveyard-fields/graveyard-fields

Driving home happily dirty and tired and seeing the MOST GORGEOUS sunset over Cold Mountain...
http://www.romanticasheville.com/coldmountain.htm

A hot shower after an amazing day... :)

[C0LLETTE]

Saw a dime on the sidewalk and picked it up... felt all chocked-up-nostalgic and old when I realised that pretty soon (maybe even now), kids wont know what it is to find a "lucky penny".

And you know what? "lucky dime" just doesn't cut it...it's so charmless...has no magic to it... besides, who'd ever offer you a "dime for your thoughts"

So, yes, I did smile when I found that dime but I didn't really mean it.

[Kobi]

My bank has been updating software, changing procedures, and messing with the accounting practices of a month now.

They sent a letter today informing me they were inadvertently late with an interest payment. Thus, they were compensating me for their lateness.

My prize? A whole half penny added to my interest! How the heck do you add a half of a penny to your checkbook?

[ProfPacker]

for the first time in weeks all my kids are home this AM. I got to play a real momma and made breakfast (when I say kids these days it includes my oldest boyfriend..who I happen to really love). Life is good

[Blaze]

She's coming Home. ..
Contentment will replace fatigue.
Love will replace choas.
Kisses will breath life back into my lungs.
Can't stop smiling!

[cinnamongrrl]

just now....

I saw a commercial for Wells Fargo...of all things...

these 2 women were learning sign language...and at the end you realize they are a couple and adopting a daughter who is hearing impaired....

It did my heart good on many levels <3

My beautiful, amazing, sexy, funny, caring, smart, understanding... (Did I mention sexy and beautiful??) girlfriend :-D

[Chicklette]

Not giving a devilish dam about some insecure *&&*(^%&^%&^***(.

And yes, I feel tons better. :tea:

[JDeere]

Finally get the medications I need.

Listening to songs I haven't heard of in a long time and singing along!

[PaPa]

My professor stating the following on my graded paper:

You have written some of the very best work this semester I've seen in the years I've taught this course. You have raised the bar of what I will expect from future students (both online and in-person). Your effort and insight are extraordinary.

[Bèsame*]

Smiling, the outcome of deflate gate!

[JustLovelyJenn]

A short and sweet private message

Teaching a lesson in art

Chores that got done without any yelling

Helping a friend feel better

My comfy bed

[Chicklette]

The smell of a cigar...

[Kobi]

The last baby eagle went on his way today.

After a grueling day yesterday with winds battering it around and almost out of the nest, Mom came back to feed him a leftover squirrel. Then, it spent a peaceful night on a branch with Mom by its side.

When Mom left in the morning, it practiced flying to branches and landing back in the nest - it has to come back to get fed and seeing its older sibling is having landing issues, it wanted to be prepared, I think.

At 10:45 it climbed up to the camera and mooned us for a bit then climbed up to the top of the tree. 5 minutes later it took flight. It is reportedly doing fine and resting in a nearby tree.

Sweet. And sad.

[EnchantedNightDweller]

He said he's my boyfriend today! :hk2

[JDeere]

Early morning texts from her

[ahk]

Had to go to an appointment- and the front desk lady remembered my name including my last. If you know me, I don't have the easiest name to recall.

[JustLovelyJenn]

My students face after he accidentally lowered a bowl of firmly beat egg whites onto my head. He was so embarrassed. It was really quite funny though.

[Smiling]

At the risk of sounding like a flaming narcissist - and I'll take that risk, lol - I did!

I'm entertaining the hell outta myself today.

Don't hate, lol.

[MysticOceansFL]

Old Friends and New Friends!

Being told to back up the big truck, I'm still learning to control.

[Canela]

My g-Baby talking and being able to make out the words! She's precious!

[Orema]

Smiled while listening to First Lady Michele Obama's 2015 Commencement Speech at Tulane University. The entire speech was excellent, but I laughed out loud and was grinning from ear to ear when she and the graduates did a short call and response (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_and_response).

Loved it.

[JDeere]

Texts from her!

[MysticOceansFL]

Private messages & texted from her!

[cinnamongrrl]

my afternoon client...

I only see her once a month. Every time I visit, she wants us to sit down and talk a bit. She always asks about what's going on in my life...usually she asks me if I've eaten lol Such a lovely lady...

[JustLovelyJenn]

Private messages
Ice cream
Success at work
Listening to my children banter
A moment of downtown

Lots of smiles... its good to list them, always leads to more.

[Tierney]

Today was a tough day for a smile (as they made the company announcement of my friend's departure)...However, again.. those little notes..those words of sharing.. did it again.

I wonder if people truly understand how they affect others without even knowing that they do.

[Smiling]

Fuguing out all day to a song that was the musical equivalent of a staccato one-two punch in the face - it was familiar on a cellular level and my whole body tingled with electrical current when I first heard it.

I love music, but I've never become the song before.

Now I literally can't stop listening to it. My eyes are two saucers. Maybe I really like it; maybe I know it from somewhere; or maybe I've finally gone over the edge, lol.

Good thing I no longer care about such things. Life is too good!

:moonstars:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

The smile of the delivery guy who brought our dinner.

[PaPa]

Tonight with the help of my sister-in-law came up with the name for the non-profit business I will be starting. I even designed the company logo! Tomorrow I will write the mission statement and begin the rest of the process!

[Orema]

This is a better link.

A phone call from a good friend. I needed that :)

[satindoll]

'Chocolate Zin', Chocolate ice cream with Zinfandel (from Izzy's Ice Cream)
A dentist appointment (Getting my "grill" fixed permanently).
School starts on Monday
J, exclaiming that he can "smell what I am up to" as in 'Chicken and dumplings' at the bus stop, a half a block away.
.
Lots of things to grin and smile about. :hk16:

[C0LLETTE]

Heard a new phrase today. Stood watching a huge "Pro Life " group gather on Parliament Hill. Seems that "Unborn", "Foetus", Embryo", have been replaced by a new term .... "Pre-Born Babies" ...kinda like "Pre-Used Cars".

All went well till I asked a demonstrator whether there was a "pre-pre-born" state and a "pre-pre-pre-born" state.

[cinnamongrrl]

Lots of smiles....

One of my favorite clients returned from being on vacation for over a month...

She had some health issues and actually cancelled me for today...but my manager failed to inform me of this and I went to her house anyway...

She felt terrible that they had done this and insisted on taking me out to lunch. So we went for Indian food! Her husband hates it and she never gets to go...

I'm so lucky to have such excellent clients <3

AND

My manager called me to apologize for not informing me of the cancellation. At first, she was all flippant about it, saying I needed to check my schedule. Which...I HAD done the night before. Both officer managers were very sweet and felt bad about it. I ended up having a lovely time with a great lady so...no harm done!

:)

[PaPa]

A very productive and tiring day....It is amazing how it isn't work when it is something you are passionate about. All of a sudden you look at the clock because you are tired and realize the entire day was spent doing the thing you love. *Smiles.

I also took my daughter's bf to look at a place and pick up the rental application for them to move.

But for my non-profit that I am starting I completed the mission statement, letter head, board of directors invitation letter, board of directors job description, donors thank you letter, a letter to ask for donations, and a list of possible board of director recruits. I am exhausted but smiling at my accomplishments. I am so hopeful this will take off by years end or beginning of next year. Doors are opening so quickly. Connections are being made just as quickly. You always know when you are on the right path for life because doors continue to open....

For all within this day I am smiling as I head up to bed....

Good night.

[randrum]

My bestie telling my about how she re-enacted Pride & Prejudice on Sims 3.

Hours spent working on a little bitty piece of jewelry wax... still many hours left to go, but its looking so amazing!

[PaPa]

A conversation I had with my ex father-in-law. I must admit since she passed away I do miss him in my life....

[anotherbutch]

A very kind new friend that reached out to me just when I really needed it.
Kindness can work wonders. Thank you ((((T)))). you know who you are.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Waking up knowing for the first time in ages... we have NO PLANS this weekend.

[cinnamongrrl]

Having coffee made for me and not having to leave the house to get it....

[Humanesque]

I would have to say the AM banter, whilst sipping my tea and contemplating coffee.

Watching the ladies from The craft, perpetually move in slow motion.

It's like watching wolves stalk their prey.

:tea::cigar2:

[MysticOceansFL]

That special someone!

[socialjustice_fsu]

that God's grace shows up in many forms and in the right time. I believe that to be true.
Maybe a passage or random kind thought is seen on here and it's all right in the Universe if for just a few moments.

[Orema]

my smart phone rings and a familiar face appears on the screen.

me answering the phone: Hey Padro, what's up?
Padro: Who's your best friend?
me: You are!
Padro: What do you need?
me: I don't know?!? What do you got?
Padro: Tickets.
me: To what?
Padro: Jill Scott
me: screams loudly enough to wake up the cows—we have been trying to see Jill for 15 years!
me: (after we stop laughing) How much I owe ya?
Padro: Nothing, Christmas has come early.

Lucky me. Tickets to see Jill Scott with my best buddy.

Really lucky me to have a friend like him—not because he does things like this either, but he's just the kind of good person everyone should have in their life.

[cinnamongrrl]

waking up to lovely morning light...which means I slept longer than usual :)

[Chicklette]

Well three things to be exact:

1. Some exceedingly jovial moments. (Stole that word)
2. Stealing someones lover (She is really a cigar)
3. MY new lover, master and slave driver (Sorry people, try again)

Spoiler: We've never even met, and rumor has it I've been there and done that. Sadly, I think I missed that ride.

3: See below. LOL

Laughing hard breathing okay laughing hard again.

The thought of a cigar bringing such a wicked good time.

Yes your new lover, master, and slave driver is a hot sexy tempestuous cigar that leaves you with baited breath at the thought of her touching your lips!

Okay I am dying here I need to breath.

Had a tense, busy morning seeing my hospice patients. It just seemed like all of their needs were bearing down on me. I remembered our small chapel on the grounds of our church sanctuary. Stopped in and no one was in there. I was able to sit peacefully and meditate. What a difference it made in my heart and my attitude. That made me smile today.

[MysticOceansFL]

A good friend, she knows who she is........ :-)

[cinnamongrrl]

The kindness of a client...

She left me a note thanking me for doing such a good job...and left me chocolate goodies as well!

She and her husband own one of the gooder chocolate stores in the Asheville area. I'm one lucky girl!

Walking through the door to my hour and seeing my children's smiling faces. My gods am I a lucky woman.

Smiling...my mom calls me right after she is released from the hospital, concerned if I was flooded.

It rained for over 8 hours here. It was not a peaceful night at all. Lighting, thunder, hard steady rain, weather alerts every 30 min on the phone. Flood watch, flood warning, tornado watch, lighting strike locations..not much sleep.

It was interesting, that one cat sat at the window and watched, the other two,hiding! Lol

[Smiling]

I just signed up for a beading class on Friday. I'm so excited! If I like it, maybe I'll take some more until I get the hang of it and can make pretty sparkly stuff on my own. And in addition to adorning myself, it will be really nice to know how to do that so I make gifts for friends, too. Yay!

A random conversation with a stranger at the grocery store about Bush's baked beans. I was not even anywhere near the bean aisle, so it was very random. Apparently they make a really good new hickory flavored can of beans. Delicious straight out of the can she said. :)

I've had a really good day!

Getting a message from a good friend!

[cinnamongrrl]

BOTH my clients today...

The first one:

She told me she is NEVER worried about having anyone drop by because I keep her house SO nice and clean :)

The second one:

She is such a mama bear; she always asks me if I've eaten (I usually haven't but don't tell her so) Today she plunkered down a hunk of cake on the table and told me it was for me! This kindof demanded me to eat it.....and it was SO GOOD!

[JustLovelyJenn]

Picture message of a friend that moved away.

[Vamp_Kitty]

Texting my 7 year nephew that was sooo funny!!! And i got to talk to my fiance!!! And found out a best friend of mine is coming to town this weekend!!!!

[fever]

Skyping with my grandbabies, having blackberry pie from Mom's Pies on 116 Hwy., hanging out with my buddy FR and getting into mischief.

[WildHorses]

Being possible pre-diabetic, pie is out for me. I am happy to learn
it is a healthy choice for some who ARE diabetic.

I tend to stay away from sweets and carbs like toast every day, candy and pasta as much as I can.

My aunt who was diabetic since childhood had her legs amputated later in life and
I would never want to cause that to myself.

I admit I am a bit envious at people who can just eat what they like and not
worry about their health.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Sending out a morning text and knowing it will be appreciated when she wakes up

[Barb42]

The random "cute" text messages

[LilyCat]

What made me smile today....watching and listening to my kitten as she talked in her sleep :hk36:

[clay]

the wonderful, lazy evenings in our pool.....so refreshing every time.....

[Smiling]

The slow spreading warmth in a sip of Tazo Spicy Ginger Tea. (Mmmmmm! I used to always prefer coffee, but now I find tea to be a much more sensual delight. I can't seem to get enough of it.)

Experiencing a book so alive with insight and wisdom that it physically grabbed me by the shirt collar and held me spellbound. Riveted, I was rendered powerless to look away. (For the duration of my lunch break, anyway!)

The sweet, ungodly pleasure that comes from removing your bra when it is far too restrictive and has been worn for far too long. (You just don't even know how good that felt today!)

And a sudden and unexpected flash of insight into myself as well as The Universe. (That was pretty cool, too.)

And sparkly beads. (People warned me about this! They were right.)

[JDeere]

Knowing 3 more days and I will be with her again!

[Barb42]

Getting to hear her voice..

Last day of school :-)

[Barb42]

Giggles from a 2am phone call..

[Tierney]

A Good Morning text. :)

[Bèsame*]

the wonderful, lazy evenings in our pool.....so refreshing every time.....

I'm sooo jealous. Many a night I wish I could come home to a pool. I grew up with one at home, yeah, I miss that!

[Barb42]

That random "hows ur day" text

[betruetoyoursoul]

Time spent with a friend that I have not connected with for awhile*S....

[Kätzchen]

Special supper plans with a close femme friend, here at home. We went out to a little heard of place that specializes in authentic Chinese cuisine. Fabulous time, catching up on private aspects in our lives. For her: her eldest daughter's marriage held in the Mexican riviera and now expecting their first child. For me: upcoming plans to announce our engagement, this fall.

Lots of smiles, and tears of happiness.

[Barb42]

Ending a fun filled day with awesome food on the grill & cold bud light...while siting in front of a warm & relaxing fire..& my pocket vibrates..(evil grin).. Reach ib my pocket pull out my phone & see a "goodnight & sweet dreams" with a pic. Of her beautiful smile.. Yep.. That made me smile... Life is good...

[Tierney]

A response I received to a note I sent - and the really cool librarian at the Library. That job totally suits her.

[Bèsame*]

Perfect beach day.

Cold beer, cheese and crackers, WiFi for connection while feeling the ocean breeze and listening to the waves and Luke Bryan.


P.S. lots of sunscreen for this fair skinned blonde:)

[Zimmeh]

A spur of the moment invitation from an old friend to meet for coffee. :)

[PaPa]

A pleasant phone conversation and the thoughts of another one tomorrow. :)

[C0LLETTE]

I packed my suitcase and everything fit...even 6 pairs of shoes.

Yesterday... a lovely afternoon with coffee and the market

[cinnamongrrl]

sweetness from my honey....

Fun Home, the musical adaptation of Alison Bechdel's graphic-novel memoir, won the night at Sunday’s Tony Awards, a triumph that capped a groundbreaking ceremony where women collected trophies in every creative field. Fun Home's composer Jeanine Tesori and lyricist/book writer Lisa Kron made history as the first female writing team to win in their categories, and despite rave reviews, Fun Home's wins were a genuine surprise, upending industry predictions that had tapped a stage version of the 1951 film An American in Paris as the favorite because of its potential as a national touring production.

Along with Fun Home’s success, the ceremony, broadcast on CBS live from Radio City Music Hall, saw women accept trophies for Direction of a Play (Marianne Elliott for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Scenic Design of a Play (Bunny Christie for the same production, along with Finn Ross), Costume Design of a Musical (Catherine Zuber for the revival of The King and I) and more.

It felt like an inadvertent rebuke to the homogenous slate of nominees offered by the Academy Awards this year, and an advertisement for the creative diversity that seems to be on an upswing this year on Broadway.

Only nine women have won a Tony for directing—but that’s eight more than have won an Oscar in the same category, and 33 percent of this year’s Tony-eligible shows were directed by women this year, compared to 13 percent the year before.

My every other Monday client....

FIRSTLY...

Seeing her very large white dog, Gus. He always makes my day <3

SECONDLY...

She left me a gift certificate for her super awesome movie/ pizza/brewing company as a tip for doing such a good job at her house. She's given them to me before too! I have like 30 bucks worth of gift certificates I need to get busy with...

Helloooooo Greek Pizza! We are good friends :) I need to become better acquainted with that brewing company's beer though...

Love my job perks! :sunglass:

[JustLovelyJenn]

The gifted box of clothing that showed up on my doorstep yesterday!

Getting to put on comfy lounge pants and a very lightweight tank top that still have that new feeling.

[starryeyes]

Finding a shirt my girlfriend left behind in the hamper and wearing it to bed! It still smells like her. Yay! :)

[Zimmeh]

My coworkers! Since I transferred stores, its been quite an adjustment for me. I'm loving the Jacksonville, FL area and thinking if moving here.

Zimmeh

[Bèsame*]

My own store KEYS!

I had to wait for my store, and it happened today! There is a promotion come August as well!

This store needs some TLC, and I'll be busy for a few weeks.

[cinnamongrrl]

so many things....

I'm just having a great weekend off.... :)

[JustLovelyJenn]

A BBQ with all my friends...
Hugging my friends daughter who graduated and taking a selfie...
Hanging out in a seriously awesome back yard.

[Barb42]

Sadly today nothing.. Ive been smiling for a few weeks now its completely gone..

[Tierney]

Thinking about a fussy little bunny. :glasses:

[JustLovelyJenn]

Thinking about this toothache

[starryeyes]

A friend of mine is going through a bad break up and we were able to talk about it today. She is where I saw myself before, where I thought I was never going to be ok. Being able to reflect on my own experiences, give her advice and assure her that it gets more than better, it gets incredible was an empowering feeling. she smiled, I smiled...... Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile :-)

[CherryWine]

Her new haircut. :thud:

[Soon]

A student's amazing spoken word poem. I had no idea he had it in him. I pulled in the Admin team to come take a listen. So awesome.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Lunch out with a friend...it has been along time! :tea:

[JustLovelyJenn]

A lot of good news via email and phone calls today! Getting ready to watch my daughter graduate from sixth grade. Two more days of work... students getting so excited for pride!! Oh, and winning on a scratch ticket.

[Humanesque]

Seeing her plane come in for a landing! Finally!!!!

Lots of laughter, tears, and hugs from one of the most inspiring, amazing and beautiful
people in my world.

[Blade]

A phone call from an auctioneer. He didn't talk fast and he was honest.

[randrum]

Something really cool happened today. And while I can't talk about it too much, I'm still sort of trying to wrap my head around the magnitude of it.

Sorry for the mystery. I'm just not sure how much I can say right now.

[Blaze]

Having the weekend off, sleeping in. yet... Having her wake me up with kisses, and opening my eyes to see her looking sooo beautiful! Dressed up for work. Omg.. wish I could have pulled her back in bed. Her scent of perfume still lingers in the room. Nope. Can't stop smiling. ..

[JustLovelyJenn]

My friends granddaughter asking me to make her a root beer float.

[starryeyes]

Getting ready to spend 2 weeks with my babe camping up the coast! I hope Smudge and Romee will behave during our trip :) They have never camped before, so it will be an interesting adventure! Looking forward to camp food, s'mores and cuddling under the stars with my love. I am a lucky lady! <3

I don't usually smile when I write a big check, but today was different

[RockOn]

just a few minutes ago ...
it was a safe capture and safe release ...

I have lots of thick woods over the back fence ... before last sat night a week ago, I would leave the back door a little bit open for my pocket pittie to come in ... she always wanted to stay out a little longer than my other dog on last pee call before bedtime .... I think this is when teenager opposum #1 sneaked in ... he was easy to escort out of the kitchen with a water bottle sprayer. Now I think he had a brother that came in with him. A little while ago, there was a teenager #2 opposum in my bathtub. I but a plastic bucket over him, gently slid a large wooden disk underneath him, took him outside and eased him onto a large tree limb over the back fence. Told him to spread the word to his buddies not to come into my house again. Gotta love a happy ending! ;)

[JustLovelyJenn]

Mutual research...

[ProfPacker]

this weekend I am going to be showing someone around NYC for her first visit ever. What do femmes want: breakfast at Tiffany's, high tea at the Plaza, Pride Parade, Dancing and seeing the newly minted NYC landmark, The Stonewall. Looking forward to it:princess:

[cinnamongrrl]

hearing that I was missed.... <3

Eagles nests are empty until Fall. Unattended nests grow stuff. Eagle fanatics waiting for the next mating season tend to make their own fun.

A little bit of cloud cover to start the day.

[MsTinkerbelly]

For those of us that value the institution of marriage, equality is the law of the land! :)

[Queenie]

The closing paragraph of Justice Kennedy’s gay marriage ruling.
That is what has made me smile today.

[cinnamongrrl]

My clients forgot to leave the door open for me....or leave a key...soo

I automatically get a $40 cancellation fee AND I got to make my car payment and go home and spend time with the pup....

We cavorted at the park and in the stream for a while....it felt just like playing hooky :)

[Tierney]

A text from my sister that said:

"Yay for EQUALITY !!! It's about fucking time!" then she decorated it with a bunch of hearts.

I am blessed to have the family that I do.

[Vivacious1]

I have a big ass smile today because......... I got a new Dooney and Bourke purse at a yard sale today for 40 bucks!!!!!:blueheels:

[Jesse]

Seeing tiny new growth on the 4 blueberry cuttings I planted in sand 2 weeks ago. Also I panted a 2 foot long branch from my Moringa tree about the same time, but in soil, and it has tiny little leafy branches popping out all over it. Nature is awesome! :)

[cinnamongrrl]

I had an amazing night out with my social group!

I met all kinds of new people AND tried and amazing new beer...

Nantahala's Dirty Girl Blonde (http://www.nantahalabrewing.com/brews/dirtygirlblonde.htm)...

I usually like a darker beer and, I confess, I totally chose the beer for its name :)


Drum circle (http://www.romanticasheville.com/drumming_circle.htm) is an every Friday event and always fun to attend...

[fever]

Great surprise visitI get from my 11 yr old grandson. We are going to see Jurrasic Park tomorrow. Gad!!! lol:seeingstars:

[Smiling]

I had a pretty huge breakthrough today and I've been wearing a smile since. What a wonderful day it has been.

[Canela]

My beautiful daughter. She came over to take care of me until I felt better. What a treat that was...wow!

My almost 2 y/o granddaughter who loves her some Johnny Cash and starts his cd at Jackson and dances and twirls! LOL! That'd make anybody smile!

[Jesse]

A sweet message from a friend. :)

I found a raspberry bramble in the woods right outside my door! I even got to have one already.

Raspberry is my most favorite berry...there are blackberries elsewhere on the property. LOTS of them. I'm seeing jam making in my future... :)
