1. Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said;”Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.”
2. Today, after my 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said; “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.”
3. Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died;He licked the tears off my face.
4. Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too.A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.
5. Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died.She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”
6. Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed,I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.
7. Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, “Why?” She replied, “So you can help me save the planet.” I chuckled again and asked, “And why do you want to save the planet?”Because that’s where I keep all my stuff,”
8. Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly realized that,I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.
9. Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said,”I hope you feel better soon.”
10. Today, I was feeling down because the results of a biopsy came back malignant. When I got home, I opened an e-mail that said, “Thinking of you today. If you need me, I’m a phone call away.” It was from a high school friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years.
11. Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating.The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.

Wonderful heartfelt thoughts. Thanks for sharing!

We all probably see and hear many disagreements and verbal fights on a daily basis. As a result we forget there are some very thoughtful and nice people out there too.

That was a very busy day, wasn't it? Tomorrow, why don't you just take a walk to the neighbors, bring them a blue berry pie and sit and talk. I did that with our new neighbors today, while NPP was sleeping, and learned a lot, Finally met someone who can really play the violin. I tired when I was a kid, but listening to her play, I now know why everyone put in earplugs when I played .

With Mom and Dad both gone, this was a nice way to remember them (although, unlike the guy here, my Dad and I were very close. Many other sweet and uplifting items - so thank you. You don't just make me laugh.
