Today's happiness -- Reinforcement. I had a bad day today. Personally. Two of my oldest friends, John and Mindy, disappointed me. I was hurt and sad. I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't work.
So I called Henry. He wasn't picking up. Then I called my oldest friend. She didn't pick up either.
I started to watch a movie. I wasn't paying attention to it.
Then my best friend called me back. She listened to me, advised me, distracted me and then she made me laugh and laugh.
A few hours later Henry called. Concerned about me. With all of his problems, he's worried about me.
I felt terrible, and then I felt validated as a person and as a friend.
Each day in August you are to
post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it
doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a
great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in
our lives, our communities, and the world.
Friends are the best. What would our lives be without people to validate us and make us laugh. So glad you are feeling better. Have a good weekend!
