Good things from today

[PlugInMatty]

This is a fairly simple idea from another forum I use...

 

Post something good that happened today. It can be as personal or impersonal as you like. It can be vague or specific. It can be something that happened to you or something you read about in the news.

 

Literally, it can be ANYTHING.

 

I'll start:

 

- Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me just came on iTunes

 

- Bumped into hot personal trainer at the gym

 

- Had a five-minute conversation about British boy bands (in particular, East 17) with said personal trainer

 

- Left with the impression that personal trainer is not as straight as he first seemed

 

- Found out that I'd lost 15cm off my waist

 

- Got put on the breathalyzer twice, passed both times

 

- Finally took this week's hand-written Chapter notes and saved them on the computer

 

- Watched an awesome game of Aussie Rules on the tv

 

- This Mess We're In just came on iTunes

 

- Watched the 'My Screw Up' episode of Scrubs, and cried. It was beautiful.

 

- Caught up on a blog I'd been neglecting

 

- Found the time to shave off the scraggly beard I'd been keeping for a couple of weeks

 

- Realised it's only 10.30pm, and I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow.

 

 

Now it's your turn.

 

(Ironically, on the forum I'm stealing this idea from, the 'good things from today' thread is up to 20,680 posts. However, the 'bad things from today' thread has 24,689. Go figure.)

Work was dead and I had a pen and napkins, so I was paid to doodle and write chapter notes for an hour.

I'm drinking a cup of tea.

[Arpeggio]

hmmmm

 

Chris took me downtown.

We got to watch a bunch of artists in the art district painting and commingling.

The unicycle guy was riding around.

It was nice and sunny.

And I ate a ton of food.

[Benji]

......................Humm! I woke up, and pronounced myself alive!!

[Pai-kun]

- Woke up early, feeling rested!

- Ate awesome food.

- Went for a walk, and the weather was perfect.

- Chilled in my bed, watching old Disney shorts with Donald Duck(I got a DVD box yesterday with the early Disney cartoons). It was awesome.

- Watched the movie "I love you, man", and it too was awesome.

- My iPod did as I wanted for once!

- Redid the layout on my Twitter. And it didn't turn out awful!

- Checked out how much I got paid this month, and liked what my internet bank showed me.

- Right now I'm gonna watch more Donald Duck shorts until I fall asleep(it's two in the morning here, so I'll probably last for half an hour).

 

Overall; Sweet day.

[Nephylim]

Woke up at my brother's house :)

My little one was fast aleep next to me :) :)

I lobbed into the gym for an hour this morning, as well. Encountered this guy on the bench press whose grunting was so loud that I could hear him over my iPod. Shared a wry smile with a girl on the other side of the room, then smiled some more when she kept looking over at me and trying to make eye contact. Her name is Kelly, she was lovely.

 

Other good things from today:

 

- Had an afternoon nap in the sunshine

- Ate a really nice steak for dinner

- Wrote 1,000 words worth of dot points for Chapter Six of The Things You Fear The Most

- Cut and pasted all other dot points into order, right out to the end of Chapter Nine

- Read chapter sixteen of In Due Time, loved it

- Had an actual conversation with the checkout chick at the supermarket

- Bought jelly beans.

- Mmm... jelly beans

[Kia Zi Shiru]

- took a nap for 2 hours

- did more laudry, made the bed

- realized that if anything went wrong in my life (aka no longer being together with my bf), I could actually manage on my own.

- felt good about that realisation (even though I really don't wanna break up with him, but that was not the point )

[Gay_In_Flanders]

-Got my grandma to buy me a new coat/jacket and shoes ... YAY!

[Aeroplane]

- received a really pithy anecdote from our very own Drewbie... something to live by .. :

when a guy is an ass and hot it doesn't matter anymore he's just an ass.

Which I thought was great.

 

- met a new and interesting guy today. Cute, in a rugged sort of way!

[Drewbie]

Listening to some good podcasts

watched some xmen eps.

chatted with a few friends

[Nephylim]

Spending the whole day with my son... he really is awesome.

[Nephylim]

:(

 

A 'good' thing about today was being at my brother's house when I found out that one of my friends has committed suicide this morning. Not the best definition of 'good' but there is nowhere else I would rather be getting news like that. My brother is the most supportive person I know and the best friend anyone could ever have.

 

After hearing news like that it is time to look at what is around you and truly appreciate what you have. I love you Jay. Thank you for being you. As well as Jay I have the most important person in the world close by... my son, and my daughter and her beautiful girlfriend at the end of a phone. I am truly blessed.

[Guest JohnnyPoo]

I'm not sure if this one is 'good' but it is definitely one of the more memorable things to have occurred today; I dreamt about a guy during a nap. The guy to be exact. I haven't thought much about, much less dream about, him for a year or two now. Sure brought back a lotta memories, this nap. Woke up feeling better rested and thought provoked.

 

Anyways, I watched some funny tv shows

 

Ate some alright food

 

That's about it, lazy day, really boring.

[KJames]

Good things from today...

 

I woke up without aches and pains from sleeping wrong.

 

My cat was lying on the pillow next to me purring as if his life depended on it.

 

His sinuses were clear. (Thank God)

 

Rob was sound asleep and snoring softly, relaxed enough to lay completely stretched out on his back which is rare.

 

After three weeks of "life getting in the way" I was only up 1.4 pounds, and that includes my birthday dinner of Filet and Scampi, and a huge sundae with fudge topping for dessert.

 

Facebook is helping me connect/reconnect with people from High School, and recent friends that I haven't been able to see lately.

 

My friends think I'm wonderful.

 

I think my friends are the greatest!

 

My husband thinks I'm everything.

 

I'm young and everything works!

 

We have the very real possibility of becoming debt free within the next two to three years.
