At the end of the day, when you are lying in bed or maybe just taking your rest, do you contemplate on what transpired today? Do you think of the things that made you happy? So what made you happy today?
As for me, I am a very simple person, so little things would really make me happy. Like when I was at work and called my mom's place, I was happy hearing the voice of my five years old son who answered the phone. He was very smart in answering the phone. Another thing that made me happy was when we talk about something, he was insisting on something which was not right but I know he is just joking because he laughed so hard. And when we are in bed, we just laughed and laughed. For the past four months, my son stayed in my mother-in-law's place so we are not together on weekdays, now it's vacation, it's so nice to see him here when I get back to work.
How about you mylotters, what made you happy today?

There are lots of things which made me happy today. I received some good news from the company I recently joined, then I got one referral from myLot. Though, along the way, I still feel hurt seeing the faces of the two despicable people I resented for making my life intolerable last December 17, I just lift my troubles to God and leave them alone, what's important is my life and the good future I am looking forward.

Even if the day is not yet done, its still getting started my day is already full of happiness. I woke up early morning and my son woke up as well which is he is not used in getting up early morning. That made me happy because I leave the house with a hug and kiss from him. I know once I return home he is already asleep.

A simple hug and kiss from the person mean a lot of us is already making my day complete. That's how simple I am and make me happy. I am not looking for extravagant thing.

I guess the first thing that made me happy today was my boyfriend's greeting when I woke up, I usually look for his text message that says Good Morning, and whenever I read that it would just put a smile on my face.
Hmmm. apart from that, I really don't remember anything else that really made me happy. I guess this day is just one of those days where I feel down, and I'm quite disappointed. But I guess I still should be happy cause I'm still alive.

Today was just an ordinary day. I'm happy by the fact that me and my family are intact and we laugh and go through hard times together. Basically, the thing that made me happy today was that I was able to eat my favorite foods!

red __amthyest well since one day is a lot like every other day here in this tiresome retirement center my roomie did not open her motormouth to bug me while i am typing on mylot and thus i got a lot of stuff done and had fun doing it. the downside is she is not feeling well, and that makes me feel bad for her.but she keeps this room too hot and I think this is a cause of a lot of her problems. I have a fan blowing straight on me so am comfortable while she is buried under heavy beding and thinks its col in here. help;wish I could afford a private room. darn.

we all have our ups and downs and things and situations that stressed us out, but at the end of every day it is nice to just think of what happened. things that made us smile. like for example my child is going to a summer school he is four years old, and it made me smile when the teacher told me that seven finished his task today. then we bring him at the park and there are bigger boys there playing and he sat down at the bench together with them with his big smile. trying to act like a big boy as well. there was a 9 year old boy there asked him whats your name but he was shy to answer and just ran away. but everyday before i go to sleep me and my wife always drink coffee or something cold like ice lemon tea and talk about anything and everything. that makes me feel good, its our everyday thing talk and have fun. laugh or analyze problem.

Hello se7enthbird,
wow that is a nice way to end your day. Maybe I can suggest that to my husband, so we can talk about what transpired throughout the day. Just seeing the kids act as a grown up is fun.
Be happy always.

I got to spend most of the day with my boyfriend today, which made me quite happy. We just wandered around the Museum of Natural History and geeked out about the animals. We ate that freeze dried space ice cream. Unfortunately, he had to leave today, which was sad. But besides that I had a very good day. I am very happy.

actually i just wake up at this very moment and its already past 1pm here and yet i still dont have breakfast and even lunch coz the moment i wake up i just open my computer and be busy here in mylot. i need to buy food outside later. anyway, the things that made me happy today is of course none, things are just the same for me everyday as im just here inside the house since i dont have job. though i go out sometimes but also being alone coz every one are very busy with their work specially during weekdays. and its time for me to pay my monthly bills so i need to go out to withdraw some money to pay my bills so its not really a happy and exciting day for me.

Hello homeshoppers, too bad you are not really happy this day. I hope you will realize that upon waking up, it is already a blessing a reason to be happy. I do hope that you will find reasons to be happy each day. Take care!

I had sort of a similar thing. My son who is 3, and is turning 4 in a couple of weeks is very smart. I've taught him how to punch in my cell number if he wanted to call me. Just about the time I got to work, I got a call from him. I think he was having a bad dream, and woke up early. And decided to call me. I calmed him dow, and then that made me happy. I think I'll pass by the donut shop today and pick up his favorite before I go home.

I had decided to do my taxes on my own for the first time and it seems like I'm going to be doing this every year from now on. I learned there are a few deductions I can get that I didn't even know about and of course I was just taking my W-2 to the preparation place and having them notify me when they're done instead of sitting down and looking through it all to make sure I'm getting my fair share of money back. I didn't even know you could get money back for going to school! Anyways, enough rambling. I'm glad most of you had a happy day like I did. :D

I love to speak to my wife while at work, it makes me feel so happy and close to her even when we are apart, and when I get home we get to gist on what happened over the day.

I am a very simple person too and just little things can make me happy. Like having to see my friends, and my family. And also whenever I get to see and talk to my crush. Everything around me makes me happy.

I guess that I am just like you, the smallest things make me happy. It doesn't take much to make me smile, or feel good inside. Spending time with the family is something that makes a person happy. Happy to be with the people we love, and our kids makes us happy. They make us wonder so much how could someone so precious be ours, our very own.
And I guess the same is true if we think about what would make us sad. We'd be sad if we are away from our loved ones. It's important that we realize just how much we love our family, and that the family is what we work for and that their own happiness is what we try to achieve and keep.

Hi Red,
Good things or bad, they make my day, and I try to see the positive side of every encounter, every event. I am happy that nothing eventful that is really hard to deal with took place today, and I'm happy that I was able to finish my deadlines (at work) on time. And when I got home, I am just as happy seeing my kids enjoy their vacation (it's start of their summer vacation).

Today, I solved a network problem at my work place, which disrupted the functioning of our ERP system. When the problem happened, we called in the ERP consultants to help us solve the problem. Just when they said nothing could be done except to route the application to another server, I came up wih an idea which proved to be working, and the consultants were left dumb-founded. I got a commendation from my boss and I really felt proud of myself today!
