little things that can make a day
Kelda:
Suprise catch up or 'hello - how are you' emails, letters postcards (I loove getting a postcard from somewhere exotic!)
also good joked in the barage of rubbish forwards you gett. these made me laugh today.
Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"
Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

A man was telling his neighbour, "I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."
Amber:
It really is the little things that matter.
One of them for me is when one of my cats hop up on my lap. They aren't normally lap cats, but cats read emotions well and when they can feel that I'm down, my lap is the first place they turn. Makes me smile and relax! Nothing like fur therapy.
Another is a good sunny day in the middle of winter. They are so rare that they REALLY make my day :)

I adore those kinds of message-in-a-bottle experiences such as you describe in your opening post. Something I do, somewhat along those lines, is when I drop pennies, I leave them, letting someone else find a "lucky penny" later, if they choose to see it that way.

Scott, this is so a lovely idea. I never would have thought of that, but next time I'll leave my penny, too.
Speaking of money; I'm kind of devil-may-care about money (except big checks, lol ;D). And so it happens a few times a year that I find money in some godforsaken pocket or bag, which I had forgotten totally. I do know that it's mine anyway, but I always feel like I had won in a lottery.
When I came home from our Brokie meeting in London, my children made my day. I never ever was welcomed so affectionate. They are always happy when I come home, and we're all big on hugs and kisses and endearments - but that welcome was really outstanding. I was so happy they got me sheding some tears.

I love unexpected politeness from strangers. I'm in college near Chicago, and strangers hold doors for me like every day. Even when they have to stand and wait for me to get there!
Also, I had a test yesterday that I was really worried about, but I really think I got an A! That made me happy! We'll see if I'm still happy tomorrow when I get it back.
Great idea for a thread!

True Court! I love it when people do that.. and usually before you know it .. you are doing it for someone else! ;)
So .. how was the test Court? A- or A+? :)
