What made you smile today?

Roommate's Cat #1 walked over to where Cat #2 was sitting minding his own business, started rubbing her butt and thighs on him, and then meowed loudly and smacked him for touching her. They got into a chase-fight after that.

Cat #1 sounds like a Tsundere :tongue:

Didn't eat before CrossFit this morning, and as a result the front squats were giving me head  rushes. Good news is I left early, showered, and snuggled back in bed for a bit

So, Humans of New York has recently been doing a series on 11 families of refugees from Syria who are being resettled in the United States (or are trying to, in the case of one young woman). The pictures and interviews were done several months ago, and most of them are in the process of resettling right now.  Since refugees don't have a lot of resources and get limited government assistance, HONY started a crowdfunding campaign today to try to get some cash for these 11 families.  The target was $100,000.

 

They hit the target within the first half-hour, and the amount raised is now up to almost $500K.

 

People so often feel overwhelmed by the number, scope, and complexity of problems in this world.  There are few things which seem to be able to be solved completely, and so people don't know what to do and end up doing nothing.  But give them an opportunity to ease the suffering of a few people, give them a guidepost for something they can do for others, and oftentimes folks will surprise you.  They want to help.

I didn't find a single thing to complain about today. Life, actually, when I take a step back and really look at it, is pretty sweet. And that made me smile.

so, the one amusing thing that happened to me working at the concert hall last month:

 

Concert hall has a big glass front.  It is five stories high.  I worked the top two floors.  One afternoon I was waiting for my shift to start, gazing out the windows on the top floor.  A green balloon floated by at eye level, five stories above ground.  Poor lost balloon.  I watched it sink lower, lower, lower, expecting it to hit the pavement, be kicked aside and forgotten.

 

... and then, at the last second, a passerby caught it out of the air and walked off with it.

 

Another stray balloon found a happy home.  Yay.

This made me smile today. I have never lost my love for balloons. :)

Not today, but last month one of my co-workers, who took a couple of semesters off, asked if I had lost weight.

And a couple days ago one of the cops who stops by at work sometimes and chats with us asked if I had been working out.

That feels good when it happens, doesn't it? :D

 

The convenience store guy asked me the same thing the other day.

Being that guy that enjoys being different, it makes me smile when I see posts like this for multiple reasons.

 

The different part being that I get asked "Have you gained weight?" and proudly respond "Yep, up 40 pounds since this time last year"

Went to pet store to investigate possible acquisition of fish. Saw a wad of finches (had to be at least seven) snuggling in a nest smaller than my fist. Their little heads were all poking out one atop the other. So cute.

Must not buy birds. no, no, I'm here for fish.

I can smell the shredded chicken simmering in the crock pot downstairs... I don't know if it's making me smile or just making me a little crazy!
