I had a Very Bad Day yesterday–what’s that children’s story, somebody’s Terrible, Horrible, Evil, Awful, No-Good, Very Bad Day? Well, that’s the kind of day I had yesterday. I was too tired and upset to cook dinner, so I went to a nearby fast food restaurant. The guy behind the counter asked if I’d had a good day, and I gave a gusty sigh and said “No!” I must have looked like I meant it, too, because when he gave me my order he also gave me a paper fortune from a fortune cookie that said “Your charming smile is attracting everyone around you” in an attempt to cheer me up! And it worked. It was the only thing that got a real smile out of me that night. So thank you, Nameless Dude, I needed that. And right back at you.

We missed you at the C.S. Lewis Society meeting which went rather well and Stephen showed up for a change.

Oh, and I missed him! But trust me, I wouldn’t have been very good company. Glad it went well, though!

Your smile is charming. You should smile more often.

Thank you! I’m feeling slightly more like it now.

A fortune cookie? What a wonderful message it had for you at that very moment! At a Birthday Party for my Grand Daughter, my son asked a good friend how his day went and he said it was so horrible, he had to smile! He said he then went to the corner convenience store and bought a Drum Stick–the ice cream cone—and life was good again! The way he said it, so great! When I have a horrible day now, I think of John and his Drum Stick and I get “happy” right away! No more bad days, LBG!

I really wish it were that easy! It’s super awesome that there are such nice people in the world, though–definitely including you!

I remember that book…I think his name was Alexander. Glad you had a better day. Chinese food tends to do that 🙂

That’s the funny thing–it wasn’t a Chinese restaurant! It was just fast food, and the guy gave me his own fortune that he must have gotten earlier. And yeah, I think it was Alexander. Me and Alexander, we should form a club!

Scientific fact – if you make your mouth smile broadly it will make you feel better despite yourself…why? because it releases endorphines 🙂

You know what else releases endorphins? Chocolate. Just saying.
