Default The way we see it...

I truly believe that the way we think things are... is exactly the way they are. Since everything is all in our heads Unfortunately, I've had a long day, and am having a little trouble focusing on the positive... Would anyone care to help me out?

What was the brightest moment of your day, today?

I think my happiest little moment of today was when I was on my way out the door to go to work, and my mom & I were chatting, just for a few minutes, casually about our meeting last night. The cool morning air was rushing into the kitchen, and there was so much potential with a new day. It was quite lovely the more I think on it.

You?

When one of the teachers in my training session shouted out, "you look freakin' FANTASTIC!"

Then the staff began clapping and cheering. It left me speechless (which is really - very hard to do).

My husband and I went for icecream, and I got my small cone and he got a sundae, and without saying a word, he held out that cherry to my mouth, for me to take, because he knows I like maraschino cherries - he does too, but he always asks if I'd like it, today he didn't ask, and the wordless gesture was just so romantic I fell in love with him all over again.

My little one (see avtar) crawling into bed with me at 6am and saying "Mommy I love you more than Daddy loves you!" I also received big hugs and a cuddle till 7am.

My hubby came home for lunch and he was supposed to go back, but he agreed to take our puppy to the pet store to get him a new collar, which looks totally adorable on him. Also, when he kissed me goodbye (my hubby, not the puppy!).

My brightest point in the day was seeing one of my quietest and meekest students give me some spunk today even though I had to tell him not to do that, I was secretly laughing inside. :-) This kid has had so many health problems and was adopted from some really bad conditions from another country... it really warms my heart to see him behaving like a kid and not like a robot with no personality.

WTG Counting Down!!

Awwww... what a sweet kid, Julia!

And it's so wonderful to see a husband who kisses their wife goodbye! ^_^

Blonde, that's so wonderful to see him coming out of his shell a little, I bet.

When I sent my five year old son in the "big men's" bathroom with his brother at the park (because the main door was open, so I could watch him ) and saw him help a man in a wheelchair who was struggling close his bathroom door and then stand there and hold it closed for him until he was done .

The best part of my day was leaving work, getting in my car, crankin' the tunes, window wide open, arm hangin' out, jumpin on the highway and just feeling the wind come through the car! Smelling fall in the air and lookin at the cool clouds in the distance. *sigh* Yup... But right now, Ugly Betty is makin' me happy

Shelby - What a wonderful, considerate boy!

Dkneec - That sounds... so amazing. That big sigh of relief at the end of the day (And fall is the greatest, I love smelling it in the air!)
