What Makes Your Day Better? - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Not to get too high-falootin' but Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote this:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded."

I've carried this around on a piece of newprint for many years and it makes me feel better just to take it out and read it once in a while when I start feeling that I'm not getting anywhere and the world is turning to shit.

A kiss from my husband always makes my day so much better.
Also when my kids decide to behave that makes for a better day.

Getting to work late and then noticing that your boss' truck isn't in the parking lot!! And then while walking up to building you can see he's not in office. Somedays it's a good thing your boss has a first-floor window office.

1. Oo, I quite agree..someone sneaking a peek at you(if they ever do :P ). And getting a compliment from a stranger or someone you know.
2. Camping with your loved ones when its raining hard and your inside the tent snuggling and totally warm and dry.
3. Losing weight..

and its really hard to *sniffles*
4. Finding something you really like at the store and it being on sale-not the cheap ass 10% sale but a good 50% sale, and its the last one-yes Im a shop-a-holic...CHARGE IT!
5. Doing something for someone and you know they'll really appreciate it or like it.
6. Making someone truly feel better
7. Making new friends
8. Someone having a crush on you
9. Passing a test-fewf~
10. Getting the paycheck..ooh baby~!
