Tell me about something that made you smile recently!
Hi lovely RO community,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
I thought it might be nice to create a thread where we can spread some positivity and spread the good vibes. So, tell me about something that made you smile recently! It can be something small, or something big, I want to hear about it!
I'll go first!
Last Friday I had a full day at work and I was having a pretty stressful start to the morning. I'm a coffee fanatic and halfway through my work day day my dad dropped into my workplace to bring me a coffee. He said that he was just passing through the area and thought of me. This absolutely made my day, partially because I really needed the extra caffeine hit, but mostly because it made me feel really cared for and loved. It's moments like that that make me feel so overwhelmingly grateful to have such thoughtful people in my life.
Another thing that's been making me smile a lot recently is my new puppy!!! She's very very cute, and is always delighted to see me! I've been spending a bit of time training her over the last week, and lately whenever she does something I've been training her to do she'll run over and smile at me as if to tell me that she's just done something good. It's so so sweet 😊
I find that this kind of reflection is really great in that it prompts me to practice a bit of gratitude, but also acts as a really great mood-booster too.
Looking forward to hear about everything that's been making y'all smile recently! 🌻💛
PS I did indeed post this a couple days ago in 'something's not right' and only just realised so I'm just reposting here now!! 😂
This is such a heartwarming post and thread I definitely enjoyed reading just now! Thank you ❤️
Recently, I've also been trying to practice more gratitude and it's made me start to unintentionally notice small things that make me just a little bit happier! Today, things that made me smile were making my smoothie bowl the peeeeerfect texture (harder than it seems), sitting out on some grass in the sun during my study break, and a cheesy joke that my tutor made during class.
@ilovechai I definitely agree!! It's amazing how much gratitude can change the way we move through the world, and prompt us to look for small happy things. Big congrats on your smoothie bowl texture too, i'm glad it made you happy!! I gave up on smoothie bowls a couple years ago for this exact reason so I am very very impressed 😂.
Such a wholesome post!!
Something that has made me smile recently is my cousins, I've been able to visit them heaps and they've started learning new words💞
@frozenA Such a wholesome reply 🥰. spending time with family is lovely, but especially spending time with little ones!!
This is such a lovely post!! 😊
I have had a lot of things that have made me smile recently. One thing that made me smile is buying myself Miffy and Boris Bear pillows, it kinda heals my inner child and did make me very happy as I grew up watching Miffy a lot. I definitely recommend people to do things that nurture and heal their inner child, even if that's by doing things you used to enjoy doing as a kid or eating a favourite food from childhood 🐰🐻💕

@Matcha_Toad Miffy makes me feel so nostalgic in the best way 😊. I love what you've said about reconnecting with your inner-child too, I think it's such a lovely way of caring for yourself. I read on the couch with a hot drink for a bit yesterday like I did as a kid. It made me feel really safe and content 💜
Aw how sweet!! @Scarlet_Locust 💖
I think some thing that made me smile recently would be my nieces birthday. getting to relive childhood a little bit by playing games, eating lots of yummy treats and birthday cake, and watching her open her gifts was just so special and such a nice break from some of the stress/heaviness of everyday life ☺️
Hey @Scarlet_Locust
Does reading to your post count? I got happy when you talked about how cute your dog is and also about your dad. Lovely 😀
@Infinity that is so sweet of you, i'm glad the post made you smile 😊💛🌻
Hey there @Scarlet_Locust !
I am absolutely loving the positive vibes! And having a new puppy is such an exciting time! I'm happy that training is going well for your new lil puppy.
Something that made me smile recently is when my boyfriend and I went out last weekend! We basically just spent the night bar hopping and we found a cute bar that had board games and card games and we played a bunch until the place closed haha.
Looking forward to see everyone else's responses!!
@snazzy_pigeon That sounds so fun!! I love cute little niche bars that have games and stuff, the vibes are always so good at those places!!
