Hi all,

Just wondering if there's anyone online who feels like sharing a story about anything good that's happened to them recently. Anything at all - funny, cute or just plain nice. What good things are happening in the world at the moment?

I realise that was a totally random post. Just needed some optimism. Didn't exactly work.

Is there anything good that has happened recently to you, Kal?

I quit smoking.

My daughter made governors honer roll so far all this year.
My son, who takes speech class, is improving greatly.

It is spring time where I live and all the trees and flowers have bloomed,
birds chirping, grass turning nice and green, and the weather is pretty.

All of which are a few good things happening in my life right now.

My little boy is starting to copy every little thing mama and papa does. It is so funny and cute because you do not realise that he is picking up on so many things until he trys to mimic you.

My wife and my boy is what is happening. It is amazing.

I've been accepted into the college I wanted to go to. I FINALLY have an A in calculus. I've finally proved to myself and everyone around me that I CAN do what I set my mind to and stick to it. I've found out that I actually might get paid this summer for volunteering. Life couldn't be better.

I read on line where someone was asking to hear a good story from happy people.

That was pretty nice by itself as it got me to thinking about the good things that come my way, and are often overlooked.

Here are the first 10 things that popped into my mind... all happened within the last week.

1. Time spent with my son. Always makes me very happy!
2. I had an interview that seems to have gone well.
3. I have been accepted into some graduate courses after waiting a year to find out.
4. I didn't have to worry about my checking account bouncing this week.
5. My electric didn't go out although thousands of homes in the area did.
6. My tax return cost me 75 less than the prepairer's estimate.
7. I got a couple of compliments on a recent hair cut.
8. I didn't get a parking ticket when I thought I would for sure.
9. I made pancakes for an elderly lady, and she liked them more than her own cooking.
10. I took some time out to think about the good things. Will do more often!

Wow! That's fantastic!
Quitting smoking is ... huge!
How old are your son and daughter? You should be very proud of them.

*hugs*

Thanks for sharing.


It's beautiful watching kids grow, and being with family.
I remember my sister (she's 10 years my junior) would pick up on all the subtleties of speech and action from everyone around her when she was little. She would mimic things we hadn't even realised we were doing.
Thankyou.

Congratulations! What are you going to study in college?
That's fantastic. Good for you.

And Cookie Monster... wow. That's beautiful.


That's just great. I especially like the sentiment of number 10. Though 9 is also quite sweet in that your happiness was brought on by giving pleasure to someone else.
It's a good list, with variety and optimism. Your life sounds like a good one.

My turn.
My bonsai seedlings have just sprouted.
My cousin is about to have a baby.
I've just been offered a good job with hours that fit conveniently around my uni timetable.
I'm able to ride my bike again for the first time in over a month!
Two good friends of mine have told each other that they're in love.
My friend's parents have decided to get married after being together for 30 years - they have 3 grownup children.

Sometimes it's easy to be distracted by troubles in life. It's good to be reminded of the beauty and potential in the world.
Any more stories are welcome.
