There have been a number of things that have made me smile or even cheer today.
********************
Do you remember when I told y'all about Anissa and the terrible stroke she had? Well, today, I read the best update on her so far. She can sense hot and cold on her affected side and she is starting to regain movement on the affected side. She is also feeling good enough that she was able to send out a Tweet. I am so happy to hear of her improvements. It just makes me smile.********************
I truly believe that what goes around comes around. I also acknowledge that, sadly, we aren't always there to see people get their karmic retribution. Well, today, Kristin (I like that name, wonder why?) over at Once A Mother finally had something give her a little hope and a reason to smile a bit after having a lot of crap rain down on her recently. The bonus was getting to view an asshat have his date with karmic justice. I really had to cheer when I read about her final phone call with Officer B. Go read about it. You'll cheer too.********************
Finally, the lovely Melissa over at Our Full Circle passed on the Happy 101 award to me...

So happy about Anissa and Kristin. :)
That's cool !! Both Anissa and the award. It's fun to be appreciated huh ?
What made me happy today...almost falling asleep on the osteopath's table, eating a great lunch of salmon and pesto rice, seeing friends, finding out that almost everything wa sokay with a major change at work.
Today started off as a very blue day for me - so finding your Show and Tell has helped make me happy. Your friend Anissa's news made me happy today and I am happy that it makes you happy. The other Kristin's tale also made me smile (and cry) - the sense of justice being served and right prevailing was almost exhilirating!
Congrats on a lovely award to receive, and thank you for sharing it so we can enjoy it too. I do mean that - your S&T today was just what I needed. :0)
I was so honored to see I made your show and tell :) and so incredibly happy to hear about Anissa. I have been following her story, and this is such great news. I pray that she continues to recover and find herself doing more and more of the things that make her happy.
Thanks also for introducing me to Melissa's blog. It's always great to find new reads.
Congrats on your award!
PS I sent your email to the guy writing the story. His name is Joel, just in case you hear from him.
oh yeah... haha... almost forgot...
what made me happy today - seeing that I made your show and tell :)
When I saw this in my Reader, I was gonna come over and say how glad I am that you and Melissa found each other because you both rock immensely.
Seeing my name on your list made me squee out loud!
Mmmmm...chocolate and raspberries.
That is a lot of good news!
What made me happy today? Talking about nothing with my husband for half an hour.
Snow falling outside my window made me smile today :)
Found your blog via show and tell. I like the things that make you happy! I can relate to many of them. What made me happy today was actually the flip side of something sad... seeing someone young and very ill at work made me thankful and happy that my mom who is going through her own illness has made it this far. I was happy to have gotten to spend 34 years of my life with her.
You! You mentioned me! I'm all smiley now! Which, considering I slept all of 2 minutes, that's huge. Thank you! YAY!
Your post is loaded with so many good thoughts...happy to hear about Anissa and Kristin...
...and what is making me happy this moment is the warm soup I am having on a really cold evening.
What a great list!
Monty Python---super sweet! "You've got two coconuts and you're banging them together!" :)
COngratulations on your award! Great news about Anissa, too!
"The pure uninhibited laughter of a young child"
-If only we could put that in a bottle its some powerful anti depressant.
Happy to hear the news of Anissa.
It is kind of nice when you see Karma bite someone in the ass when the so deserve it.
Good to hear that Anissa is doing so well.
Lets see, happy today? I sold 2 more blankets. And I had the best time laughing with a couple people at work. The guy in our department (the one and only) was talking about being surrounded by estrogen (he has 2 little girls) and his flirting. It was so funny I couldn't quit laughing.
Happy News indeed! Love your list (Monty!)
