The Best Thing That Happened To You Today

[froggy5657]

Everyday during our family dinner, my Dad asks each member of our family, "What was the best thing that happened to you today?"

Because you can't pass, it forces you to think about the good things from the day no matter how awful a day you had.

So, I ask you all "What was the best thing that happened to you today?" If you read this thread I implore you to try to think of something before you just continue on your web surfing.




Today after school I was hungry before play practice, so I went to the cafeteria and bought an ice cream from the vending machine. I put in my $1.50 and the machine gave me TWO Chip-Witches! Rehearsal was much more enjoyable today.

I had a co-worker tell me (sincerely) that I am awesome. He trained me on some reports last month. When he took yesterday off I did them all and got them out the door this morning once he looked them over. He usually stresses over getting them out every month. It felt good to have somebody pay attention to something I did and tell me I do good work.

I love this question, BTW. It really forces you to reflect on your day and find the good in it.

Best thing for me is I got to go to Parents' Observation Day at my daughter's dance class.

We play a similar game at dinner called High/Low. I got it from the movie "The Story Of Us", I loved that movie and more so the idea. Sometimes it's all I get out of my teenager. I like that it gives you more of an answer then yes or no.

I held my new baby niece, Charlotte, who was born on Sunday! (I held her on Sunday too, at the hospital, but today was the first day I got to see her little fingers and toes as she was out of the hospital super-tight-swaddle).

Ohhh goodness, she's a cutie! Pink and tiny and perfect.

It's been a good day!

I helped a coworker secure a deal for 20 new cell phone lines for a small business. That's her entire monthly quota in one swoop. And since I was nice enough to help her seal the deal, she letting me have 5
