Last night, I heard the neighbors' new baby laughing for the first time.  It sounded like angels singing.

I'm drunk on chocolate today.

I went to the thrift store yesterday and bought some new records, I am listening to one right now and the sound is wonderful I also texted my boyfriend a little while ago, and felt a flood of feelings all good during the texting. I am super happy today sitting outside on balcony in the sun listening to the wind blow the trees and my record play soft classical music in the background! Also, I am eating cookies at 9:03 AM and they are still warm!! !! !! !

Also about the thread in general, I ruminate on negative things all the time, it a lovely space to to come to occasionally just report positives, here's another, my neighbor just walked by with an armful of trash she collected on her walk, I graciously took it and put in the trash bin!

I am going to make sure I enjoy Summer break to the best of my abilities!

My heart leaps when I see a new wild orchid blooming, when little tiny seeds sprout a tiny bit of green and there is the start of new life, when I hear baby birds twittering.

I don't think a positive-only thread or subforum would solve a problem that some individuals don't like others being happy.

I learned why I was in distress this week, and was able to use healthy coping skills

I'm to bring a dessert to a family dinner today. The pie I ordered with my groceries was not provided, but serendipitously I have strawberries and shortcakes on hand so I will bring that instead. The alternative was baking a frozen pumpkin pie, but I can't say I was enthused about that!

Can I just point out that "Post something that made you happy today." was started in September 2010 and is currently 1,692 pages long.

I've been rooting around in various science fiction forums, prior to diving in and joining them. I'm pleasantly surprised by how friendly and positive the "Books and Literature" subforums tend to be. So many online fandoms are full of endless flamewars over which parts of franchise X are "objectively worse" or whatever the hell. But the Books and Literature crowd focus more on the stuff they like, and are more willing to live and let live when other have different tastes. Obviously, it'd be hard to generalise that to everything (like our PPR threads....) but it's an attitude I'd like to see more of.

I am enthralled by books. Real paper books. I enjoy reading them of course, but I also enjoy just looking at them. I have a huge bookcase and I feel content looking at them. In some sense books give me a feeling of security.

Apparantly, what I needed to make my living room more cheerful was plastic dinosaurs. They are currently roaming across the piano keys, and I smile whenever I look over there.
