What made you smile today? - Page 227

A productive day at work. Now home- with a thunderstorm happening.. having the windows open.. with the rain coming down.. and watching the lightning light up the sky across the lake.

Smile worthy, indeed.

waking up walking across the street in my pj's to sit at the edge of the ocean, in the dark listening to the birds begin to wake up as the sun comes up over the mountain behind me.
driving a long crazy road to Hana having the yummiest fish taco ever from barely a road side stand on the road out in the middle of NOWHERE!
the rare feeling of being off the grid and completely unconnected from anything but nature.
going for a night time stroll and meeting a new soul I had the pleasure of getting to know over the web
and taking lots and lot's of pictures all day long!

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out
of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car
by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and
started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was
really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!'

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the
Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes
they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take
over their day.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,

so ... Love the people who treat you right.

Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!

Sweet_Amor_Taino · 04-27-2011, 07:44 AM

Sitting out on my balcony, drinking a strong cup of coffee while my Hercules lay by my feet, a cool breeze and a visit from my friend the humming bird coming to feed from the feeder. I try taking a photograph but my battery needed charging.. I will try this evening when she/he returns. I need to name him /her soon. I always name my humming birds. Each year I have at least two that visit morning and evening.

Its a good day and I wish you all a good day also!!

Andrew, Jr. · 04-27-2011, 10:03 AM

Today is the first day I have seen and heard my hummingbirds! I am just so excited. They will land on my shoulders and head to rest. I just love them so. I know what you mean Sweet Amor Taino. It's awesome.

Waking up to a warm day ... with the breeze coming through My open windows off the lake...and kind words from friends.

Ms. Meander · 04-27-2011, 01:33 PM

I am smiling today because I received an A on my research paper and gave a successful group presentation in which I acted as facilitator.

I am smiling today because I am way better at this school thing than I would have dared imagine. It feels damn good and I'm quite proud.
