Feel Great

mimiang @mimiang (3760) • Philippines 7 Feb 16

I feel love all around me . I have gone through a lot of bitterness, but I think I have to overcome that. Happiness should be an aim to make us feel better. The beauty of life begins upon waking up. You know God loves you for the...

tess1960 Happiness must come from within and not from without. Meaning the things that surround us must not be the only things that make us happy. Things can come and go, even people can come and go. Everyone goes through hardship and bitterness. The ones that learn a...

My discussion didn't get any response

Angel_15 @Angel_15 (670) • Manila, Philippines 7 Feb 16

When this happens, what do you do? Do you try to edit your discussion to make it more interesting? Or do you just make another one and hope that this time it will get responses?

What is more important, title, avatar, or photo on Mylot?

Jekca @Jessicalynnt (50523) • Centralia, Missouri 6 Feb 16

Everyone is trying to attract attention on mylot. We all want more and more attention. We want people to stop by and drop off comments. I sometimes get this mental image of us all standing in a big group shouting “Me! Me! Me! Pay...

Taking this challenge from @Maggs224 and @Auntylou. I don't remember much before the age of 9. What I remember I can't necessarily pin an age to. 1. I remember when my parents were away, as they did every year for a convention,...

Wake up and smell the bacon.

Gary Marsh @garymarsh6 (23404) • United Kingdom 17 Jan 16

I have been inspired to write about bacon or rather the smell of it after reading a post by @Raelove she had posted an article about bacon which is worth a read and rate and of course your opinion on it too! There are some things...

tess1960 Mmmmm....bacon! I love this particular food. Enjoyed your article. You are so right that the scent of bacon can wake a slumbering person. Don't count bacon out completely in America. Not everyone cooks bacon to a burnt crisp here. I like mine as you described....

Laugh Out Loud?

kdmlrys @kdmlrys (398) • United States 25 Apr 09

LOL or Laugh/Laughing Out Loud is too mainstream. Do you ever get tired of laughing out loud? I think I should refrain from using that acronym. Do you think SOW (smile out wide) is a good alternative?

"Company Appreciation Day"

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 31 Jul 12

Do you or have you ever worked somewhere that you really felt respected and appreciated? Sadly I never have and I think that a little appreciation would go a long way in the workplace, it would probably even improve performance....

tess1960 A verbal "good Job" from the boss in the presence of fellow workers or the public is always appreiated. And an acknowledgement on a well written document is also a great builder.
