canadiangirl Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Starting this thread in honour of Just Jen. Today I showed my child a tiny snail on a rosebush. The shell amazed us with how complex it was. That snail is probably a garden pest but it was my one "little happy" today, and represents the pace of change/healing around here. And that's all I got.

MissingSquish Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The little bit of happiness I had today was hearing my dog snoring on the bed. Makes my heart warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 My in-laws are awesome! My father in-law came by to mow our lawn while my two older daughters helped me in the landscaping. While we were working in the yard my mother in-law was making us dinner. So nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I haven't been feeling well, so I took a nice, long nap today, and my Pit Bull, Boo, curled up beside me on the bed to cuddle. I love her cuddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widowat33 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The timing of this post is eerie. Today while shopping at Walmart we let a lady with one item ahead of us in line. She thanked us, paid and left. Then she returned and spoke with the cashier and informed us she was using her employee discount for our purchases! So my boys got to see first hand how random acts of kindness are appreciated! It's such an important lesson for them that although these acts aren't always returned it does feel good to be kind to others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylee627 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Lil happies for today: Purchased a whole host of cleaning products today with a gift card I'd had stashed away. I lurve me some cleaning products, and for free? Boom! Father of the Bride parts 1 and 2 were showing today on this afternoon's cable line-up. Those movies are so benign, sweet, and innocent, and that lil classy Diane Keaton is my absolute favorite actress, ever! Listening to my dog Pumpkin, snoring by my side. Her kind lil presence brings me such comfort. Baylee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kealoha Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Toddler snuggles into your neck and little hands patting your face as they get sleepy. Best blues banisher ever. I am so lucky to have this every day. DD may never fully know how much she helps me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I finally decided on and ordered patio furniture for the new place. It is a small thing, but one more step to this new place being home and made me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATJ Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This made me smile! Sometimes a smile is the only "little Happy" I can find! Oh, how to be young and innocent again! ATJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoJunkie Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 mine is from last night as we are just getting to the start of our day (we slept in) but I have been snuggling on the couch or in bed with my daughter on a regular basis. We pick a movie to watch and we snuggle. Full on touching, which has been something that has been severely missing in the last few years between us. It doesn't matter what we have done that day, we snuggle in the evening. I might make this an unofficial rule from now on. It just fills my heart when we snuggle.

ieh21 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I took a few minutes at work to plan a dinner party for this coming Wednesday. I hadn't looked at epicurious in a long time, never mind taken up the challenge of matching my menu to someone's allergies/intolerance list. Am very much looking forward to cooking!

Carey Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Best friend bought me a Baja Mt Dew at lunch and just let me lay on his shoulder and be hugged. Hes a teddy bear of a man and gives the best hugs. looking forward to the weekend at the beach, cause we have a military sponsor for this weekend and we can go back to OUR place, and I love all things red white and blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I was sitting on the edge of my bed, going through a few things, when I looked up to find my son, with just his head sticking in the doorway. He never said a word, just grinned, and went on his merry way (after getting the dogs wound up, so that they came flopping over, right in the middle of the pile of papers, I was trying to organize). I am really going to miss that boy and those dogs, when we all move next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingMyJon Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I was able to send my youngest off to grandma and grandpa's, and take my two oldest kids to see Jurrasic World. So hard to get time alone from my little kling-on. Loved being with just my oldest two. Thanks mom and dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangirl Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 My small one expressed the desire today to breakdance to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock. I have the day off tomorrow for a national holiday. Two little happies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingSquish Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 My dog gave me 2 wet sloppy kisses today after daycare. She isn't the kissing type usually, and it felt good to feel the love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 My "little happy" for today came in the form of a text from New Guy, who asked if I would like to go shopping with him for a new washing machine. Since the plan is to get married some time in the next year, this will be our first official purchase for what will one day be "our" house. I am so excited! My other "little happy" came in the form of orange jello. Ever since I was in the hospital ICU, I seem to have developed an obsession with orange jello. To quote a favorite student of mine, "That stuff is the bomb diggity!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylee627 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Today's lil happies: Yoga taught by my favorite instructor, who happens to be battling breast cancer. She's a freaking She-ra warrior princess, and she just radiates warmth and goodness. Off from work today, so I languished in bed with my morning caffeine fix. Adore these kinds of mornings:) Baylee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I felt pretty today. I was just out getting groceries, but I felt pretty. I ended up running into a few people I knew at the grocery store too. I guess everyone had the same idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yesterday my work team went bowling. It was the first time I had bowled since a group of friends went with me on LH's birthday after he passed. I worried about being triggered but those fears we're unfounded. It was a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingMyJon Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I woke up with morning with a big smile on my face, perky and happy all around! It is the first day since Jon's death where although I think of Jon all the time, I am still feeling happy. Trying to savor the feeling. I remember once upon a time when I used to feel like this all the time. It has felt like I would never wake up really happy. It is good to know that I can still feel like that. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 While taking a shower this afternoon, Vinnie the Pug, was pawing at the shower door, prompting me to crack the door, just a touch. Silly Pug stuck his nose in, like he was checking to see that I was okay, then turned and walk away. Goofy dog made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfIonlycould Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Finding the right shrubs for the back proprety line at the garden center with "Promo $5.00" tags and getting to the register to find out they have been marked down to $3.75! Believe me I was plenty happy at $5.00 this was the added little happy bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
