5 Little things that brighten my day

Written by Best-Achiever from the blog Only the Best is Achieved Here on 07 Oct 2009
Favourite this post

Eish today i got this very sweet sms from a friend and it made me realize that there are those things that we take lightly or label them as little but they make such a great influence on our mood for the day, week or even forever.

Little things that brighten my day

1. Getting an email or sms from a loved one telling you, they appreciate you or love you or miss you, even more when they call just to check how you are doing.

2. A little one trying to say your name

3. A visit from a long lost friend who didn’t even tell you they were gonna visit

4. A stranger telling you, you look gorgeous or even more a genuine smile from a stranger

5. A work related compliment from your boss or even more from a client through your boss.

so good peeple what are those little things that put a smile on your face?

I read something will be back to write it. i just smiled after reading it.
i always say look for the little things in life that make life worth living.
Siyabonga sis wame.
I saved a client around R500 000 from taxes by just applying my knowledge cause the method the boss used was incorrect. everytime he sees me he smiles. i have a nice email from him and every time i am down i look at it.

@ Molilo i once told my collegue that her shoes were lovely and she replied that she knew. Ever since then, i find it hard to compliment someone on nice stuff.

A call from Daddy or mommy just to tell you that they love you.

The words below put a smile on my face this morning (i dont know the write so..)

A smile on your face will do wonders for your appearance, and give you youthfulness and optimisim that beauty treatments and counselling session could never match.

my man asking dropping me roses at the office with a message reading 'thank you for being part of my life" when i least expected.

my exes sending me messages telling me how the really appreciated me in their lifes

unexpected complement from a stranger definitely does make my day

a smile and hug from a child is amazing, no matter how terrible your day was, the smile and unconditional love you receive from a child as you enter the door at home is unbelievable

listening to Gareth Cliff in the morning, he manages to make crack me up even though I hav a dry sense of humour, Chilli M used to do it, until he got fired!!!

a call from an ex telling you he misses you kinda makes one feel good, you know even though it did not work out, you left footprints

Best-Achiever
08 Oct 2009 07:50

@Nonzuzo
whether you call it

Amazing or astonishing or astounding or remarkable or wonderful or incredible startling or marvelous or miraculous

i dont care, all i know is that thing called pregnancy scares me to death, it is not even funny and because of that i dont see anything enjoyable about it.

Nice 1 my lavo,

1. Talking 2 my son over the fone & while im busy talking 2 him he will just hang up coz he likes these sliding fones. When i first hear my son singing "Our Father" (i even recorded this).....I just LOL. Nx i luv this little nigga........Congra 2 all expecting mums & the-soon-2-b. Enjoy guys!

2. When i make/ receive a call from my mum after depositing some money 2 her bank & she will call me by that SPECIAL nickname....oh i become heavy knees (ndibamadolo nzima) but uyandi taxer sana. I luv u woman.

3. When im wearing that little black number coz i know im a hot mama babe.

4. When i get a call from my ex father-in-law saying, "You r still my daughter in-law & i will always luv u & take care. He can call me on 00:00 when im sleeping & he will pass 2 his son (which is my EX). He still thinks we will get back 2gether 1 day kanti hai cha, ndiyabonga.

5. One day i was at home walking, this mama came & said, "I wish i had an intelligent son, i will recommend u. I dont know u but i can c uchubekile (PLZ help a sista 2 translate this bt i know it means something deep like i-respect). Ndavela ndashaya esika Miss SA ismile somhlaba. She lifted my spirit on that day.

6. I know u said 5 bt when i visit my father's grave, i feel complete. Talking 2 him makes me relieved. I miss him so much.........sob sob

11 Nov 2009 14:33

1. When my boss says to me Well done Ms..... - he doesn't just say that....he's a very difficult moody 65 year old mlungu who's kept young by a 36 year old....

2. Being told by a stranger that i'm beautiful....

3. Talking to my mom for 45min - i'd crying with laughter coz she'll be telling about what has my crazy uncle did whn the family was together & my gran house & a whole lot of crazy funny stuff about the whole family.... now i miss my family :-( think should look for a job in EL then move back to my hometown

4. When i've had a good night sleep...

5. When my friend told me that her 5 year old son told her that's he'll sleep infront of the bed coz he is the man so he must protect her....(oh!! i smiled and wanted to have a little protector of my own)

11 Nov 2009 15:52

Ok Lex The thing is i told my ex 2 never call me after 10 otherwise i wont ansa the fone so i think he uses his dad if he wants to speak to me since he knows i will pick up even if im in cloud 99. He knows i respect his dad. But the first person i talk to is the owner which is his dad then he will give his son. They r staying 2gether.

I hope i tried.
