Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Metchosin Date: 14 Sep 07 - 01:38 AM Took the day off work today and got to cheer on a couple of friends and watch them and their team mates ultimately win gold medals in Dragon Boat racing at the BC Senior Games. Good company, beautiful weather and a fun day all round. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: JennyO Date: 14 Sep 07 - 01:18 AM Absolutely, Ebbie. I can really relate to your feelings about Autumn too! In general, I think I prefer the in-between seasons, especially around the time of the equinox. Often the best sunsets are around those times - and I do love a good sunset! Today the weather has been somewhat different. It was warmer, but overcast - working up to a thunderstorm. It was only a little storm, but fun while it lasted. Big splashy drops, enough to soak the ground and freshen up the garden, a few rumblings, and it was gone. All those negative ions are great for boosting one's energy, so I'm off to clean the house :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: JennyO Date: 14 Sep 07 - 12:25 AM This is actually yesterday's post which I couldn't submit because the Cat was down, so it's about what I did yesterday. It was a perfect warm sunny Spring day today, so I took a few minutes to walk around the garden and look at the new growth everywhere and be assailed by all the gorgeous Spring smells. First stop was the lemon tree, so I could bury my nose in the first fragrant flowers of the season. The tree is covered with pink buds, as well as some of last year's lemons. The passionfruit vine is recovering from the snail invasion now that I've picked them all off, and new growth is everywhere on it. The Chinese Star Jasmine has fresh green tendrils waving around looking for something to grab on to, the sage has new bright green leaves, and the peach tree is covered with pink blossoms and new little green leaves are just starting. There's my sweet scented jasmine pretty in pink all over the fence, and as I walked past my big climbing rose that is covered with new red leaves and buds, I was struck by the strong scent of rose, even though none of the flowers are out yet. I picked a few little freesias that sprang up in the front lawn and put them in a vase with a few sprigs of jasmine next to my bed. Heavenly! I love Spring! |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: KT Date: 14 Sep 07 - 12:17 AM GREAT thread idea, rock chick! I worked all day, and when I got home, headed for a walk in the mountains to enjoy the last light of a glorious autumn day! Heard the crunch of dry leaves underfoot and could smell fall in the air. Gratitude was the prevalent feeling.... Pauline....what a wonderful breakthrough for you and your student today.....Jacqui-speedy recovery and do take it easy. Kendall-Yahoo! Keep it up! Thanks everyone for sharing those happy moments! KT |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Ebbie Date: 14 Sep 07 - 12:00 AM Another reason this was a happy day is that the weather was perfect. Colored leaves have floated everywhere and I picked up one that I decided was a color called 'Autumn Birch' and two others, a deep umber and the other a red-orange one. There was a light gusty breeze blowing and the sun was warm. The air has a clarity unmatched anywhere. It is Autumn, for sure. Lovely. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 13 Sep 07 - 08:43 PM nuffin' particular yet (it's only 10.30), but yesterday I had lunch with an ex-colleague & stayed in reception for a while talking with other (ex) colleagues (I love watching wage slaves working!!) then wandered off to our fanciest department store to look at their 'Fabulous Festival of Fantastic Flora' inspired by Graeme Base's famous and much-loved children's book 'Animalia'. Spring has definitely sprung. I kept going wow! eyes popping out at the displays & intend to go back with my camera before it's pulled down. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: katlaughing Date: 13 Sep 07 - 08:03 PM A little more...Morgan made up a song and sang it to me: Won't you be my cheerio, won't you be my cheerio, won't you be my cheerio, All day long?! When I put him on the phone to sing it to his mom, he changed it to Won't you be my *funny head katlaughingforreal |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: RangerSteve Date: 13 Sep 07 - 07:58 PM I recieved some CD's in the mail today, Tex-Mex and New Mexican music, and they're excellent. Also got word that my custom-made cowboy hat from Wyoming is in the mail today. The local produce stands now have squash, sweet potatoes, apples and cider. I watched the movie "Topper" today, which for some reason I have managed not to see until today. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Pauline L Date: 13 Sep 07 - 07:23 PM Kendall, I'm glad to hear the good news. I always get satisfaction from teaching, but today was unusually good. I've been working for a few weeks with a young man with autism. He plays very well, and he really did a good job today. What makes me feel especially good is that he started talking to me today. That was a breakthrough that made me very happy. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Ebbie Date: 13 Sep 07 - 06:57 PM Kendall, that is marvelous news. There won't be any stopping you. Jacqui, good luck on the hernia repair. I had one done a few years ago - in the diaphragm - and was glad to get past it with minimal pain and discomfort. What makes me happy today? Several of us met at noon in a downtown arts place and played for an hour and a half. Mostly instrumentals- but very nice. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: kendall Date: 13 Sep 07 - 04:32 PM My speech therapist is all but ecstatic for my progress, and she says if things continue as they are, all I need is therapy and probably no more operations. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jeffp Date: 13 Sep 07 - 04:15 PM Actually felt good enough to go back to work today after having all my teeth extracted on Tuesday and getting dentures. It's nice to have a smile that I don't mind people seeing. |

Well, and so we can pee in the toilet, again! If he'd done it right the first time....mutter, mutter.**bg** Since my day is only half past, I am looking forward to a very good time when I pick up Morgan, my grandson, from preschool. We always have happy times together. Great thread! |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Sep 07 - 11:09 AM Walking the beach with Seamus, on a beautiful autumn morning, with blue skies, fluffy white clouds and warm sun. This was the last time for a while that I can take him to the beach as I'm in for a hernia repair tomorrow and will be taking it very easy for the next few weeks. The other thing that made me happy was that Kendall had a little bit of voice come through in conversation this morning. Life is very good. |

Subject: BS: What made you happy today From: GUEST,rock chick Date: 13 Sep 07 - 10:38 AM So what made you happy today, for me it was in my work. I visited a young GP, who had suddenly lost his hearing, suffered with severe Tinnitus and had been diagnosed with Menière's disease. This young man was thinking he may have to give up being a GP as he was struggling and was desperate. I visited him as a specialist for the deaf and hearing impaired, and after about 1.5 hours we had found equipment that supported him and found a particular electronic stethoscope that was also suited. It gives me a great feeling knowing I have made someone happy and brightened their day, how about you? rc |
