What Made You Smile Today?
Hmm, I saw someone helping someone else out, when they clearly were not obligated to and it was such a great thing to see! Little pieces of kindness are just super touching to see. : )
My younger brother always sings You Are My Sunshine to me when he knows I am upset. Today I was having a rough day and he just gave me a hug and started singing that song to me it made my day so much better.
What made me smile was makingmy enemy smile by giving them nothing butkindness today.
I smiled when a client of mine said she was feeling better!
I smiled at the rising sun this morning, I watched a very inspiring movie last night and have decided to return to an old series of books I used to love (the Hatchet books by Gary Paulson) because I think I need the distraction and the nostalgia. I smiled as I fell asleep last night because I had an awesome night with my ex. Cat fell asleep on my chest in her snuggler and we both couldn't stop smiling :)!
Listening to the soundtrack for into the woods. I'm a musical nerd.
Yesterday, I had a cat run in front of my car and killed it (this isnt what im happy about). I kept thinking how this could have been someones only friend. If it had have been a possum I wouldnt have felt as bad. Ok, the thing that made me smile, happened this morning right before I went in to work. Another member (@politecup86) responded to a thread that I had responded to and her comments made me smile, then brought tears to my eyes because it let me know that responses to others on this site may actually be helping others in some small way. Its people like politecup86 that make this such a great site.
Oh this is so sweet of you. I wish I can make u smile everyday. Well by this post u calmed my anxiety down. I'm obese and planning to start dieting tomorrow but of course I'm very worried and anxious about it. But I'm very happy to see my nickname tagged in this post. This means a lot especially that I feel neglected a lot of times in forums :) huuuuuuuugs whyme11 so string. Please keep posting
Good for you! I know how hard it is to lose that extra fat and I commend you on your decision! Here's a couple facts that may help you a little :)! The more you eat in the morning, the less you'll feel you'll feel hungry at night (when the body stores more fat). Exercise before you eat, this boosts your metabolism and helps move all the old food along before packing more down. Drink lots of water, hydration keeps your energy levels high, boosts the metabolism and aids in recovery. Avoid drinking too close to your meals, you want your stomach acid to be the right consistency to best break down your food. Eat slowly, this is a psychological trigger to feel full faster and by breaking down your chow more so before swallowing you make it easier to get the most nutrients out of it. I wish you all the best on your journey and I'm rooting for you! You're beautiful :)!
Oh thanks a million daddy. U r so kind. And thanks for the valuable information. I have to lose a lot. So it is going to be a long journey. Maybe two years long. But I can do it. Thanks again for caring and for calling me beautiful :) u r really kind
@politecup86, my mom joined weight watchers and lost 103 pounds. She was able to keep it off until she passed away, year before last. I joined weight watchers and lost 55 pounds, put on mostly because my job can be sedentary and they used to feed us often. When I first started weight watchers, I was losing weight but wanted to ramp it up more so I decided to take up running to help. I have run about 2 dozen 5k races, half dozen 10k, and 3 half marathons. I have another half marathon coming up and would like to do a full marathon. If I can do it, I know you can too. Keep me updated as I would like to help if you need some motivation.
You are well on your way, so keep positive :). Just one step is all it takes to get started and here you are! I wish you all the best, but don't thank me, thank 7cups, this site is incredible for bringing people who need each other's support together!
DaddyLion, you are so nice! You are inspiring other members and sharing and spreading smiles too.
@caringsmiles20 Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad to help and I'm always willing to lend an ear and some honest, positive advice to anyone who needs a hand. Keep smiling :)!
Today I smiled because all of everything that had to go wrong today on my time limit, like the unexpected traffic to work, Unexpected mess from last night's shift workers to clean up after....i could have gotten angry and upset like I normally would've but I just kept telling myself, "you cant help but laugh At the beauty of life" and I actually kept laughing! !!
Getting comments back from those I listened to saying I had given them hope and helped them to feel better :)
I had to smile and even do a little happy dance when I bought my ticket to go to the Excision dubstep concert!!!! Whooooooooo!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😲😲😲😲😲
