Things that have made your day lately!

I just wanted to share about something that made my day today. Normally I ride in the evenings with my guy, but I haven't ridden since Sunday due to laziness, feeling unwell and other commitments. Tonight my guy was off doing his swim training for the triathalon coming up and I went for a ride by myself (sooo nice to be alone sometimes, seriously.) to a local coffee shop in our "downtown". I had one of their delicious gingerbread cookies and after resting a bit I started to head home. At an intersection that has a long light that bikes don't trigger, the light turned green when I was about 500 feet away. I stood up to sprint intent on not missing the light and powered through the intersection. As I was standing and whizzing by the traffic stopped in the opposite direction, some guy in a truck whistled at me. Now, normally, I find that kind of offensive, but tonight I was feeling strong and powerful and it actually made me laugh and smile a whole lot!! Nothing like busting your chops and cruising through an intersection at 25mph to have someone think you look hot on your bike! It seriously made my day.

So what has made y'alls days lately?

Westtexas, that would definitely make my day! Good on ya!

The salesman from the car dealership called tonight to let me know that my new car has arrived a week early! I'm so stoked. Picking it up on Saturday. That has made my day, night, and rest of the year

Holding the door open for someone and they actually said "thank you!"

I had to get DD a present for this weekend but we are on a tight budget, as usual. So I got her a hoola-hoop. This morning DD crawled into bed with me and out of the blue, said that she really, really wants a hoola-hoop.

I was in and out of the DMV to renew my driver's license in 15 minutes!!!!

And this weekend I get to bike around the bay in Traverse City with the kiddos!

This is a good life.

Oh gosh, I just thought of this.

The other day I was biking on my mountain bike and towing DS in the burley trailer. We were approaching a hill, my favorite hill. It's the last one on the way home. About 300 feet from the base, a roadie went flying past us. I put my head down and hammered on the pedals to pick up momentum going into the hill. I didn't look up until we reached the top. . . . and guess what!?!? I was right on Mr. Roadie's wheel!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I didn't even think that was possible. I will forever have the astonished look on his face when he looked back and saw me right there.

I have like 25 personal days to use up. I'm taking today as a vacation day. So there may be a LOT of posting from me today

Limewave those were two GREAT posts of things to have made your day. Congrats on all of them.

One of my relatives has been on radiation therapy for the last 6 weeks and they are finished. That news made my day!

Went for a ride this morning with my OH - that in itself was enough to make my day, our older niece is staying with us just now so we were able to head out without kids, a rare treat! But even better, the time I've been spending on my bike has obviously helped as he was struggling and I found it just a nice steady ride to stretch my legs and start the day. I'm overweight and he's not, so it's always a boost to realize that my fitness level is better than his
