What Is One Good Thing That Happened To You Today?

I had posted a discussion the other day saying how I had a feeling that something good was going to happen to me on the 18th and the 19th. Now, today is the 18th and although my day isn't totally complete and in the book yet, I do have some things that happened today that made it a good day and proves the point that something good did happen for me today.
First off, I had to work today, it isn't something that I wanted to do, but a girl has to pay the bills. 
My friends made it a good day because they gave me a lot of grief about the FedEx guy that I have a crush on. It was all in good fun and it helped make the day go by a little faster.
Now, speaking of the FedEx guy, he came in today and I hadn't seen him in a week. I had been off with my kids sick and the past couple days I hadn't been around when he came in. Today when he came in he went and talked to his friend who was about 50 feet from where I was working at. I made no attempt to talk to him or anything, I just kept on working. I was standing at my computer and he walked up behind me and said, "Hey". When I turned around he gave me a hug and we talked for a couple minutes and then he left. Now, I consider this "hug" to be something good that happened to me today. I hadn't had a hug from him since the night I had ran into him at the bowling alley which has been almost 2 weeks ago. The only bad thing is that it leaves me a little confused. If he isn't interested in me then why would have make an attempt to talk to me, hug me, etc? If he is interested in me then why the heck doesn't he ask me out?!?! I know I'm tripping over something kind of dumb, but it is how I feel.
So, anyway, that is what good happened for me today. What is one good thing that happened for you today? Anything?

The only thing that has happened good for me today is that a friend of mine is babysitting the kids while I fill some toffee orders. We were at the mall this morning and my daughter was cuttin up at the mall. I was not going to be able to get much done with her acting up.
As far as the Fed Ex guy goes, men are strange creatures. I have never been able to figure them out.

I love that movie! It's a great one! Maybe I would rather have an off/on switch so if I wanted to hear what they were thinking then I could and if I didn't then I'd just switch that baby off.

I can totally relate to kids acting up. Sometimes they do make it 10x harder to do things.
Yes, men are definitely strange creatures! I totally agree with that statement. I wish for one day that I could just read a man's mind and hear exactly what is going on inside it. Although, if I did, it might scare me too.

Hi singlemommy,
Please don't think too far ahead with Mr FedEx giving you a hug, wait to see what will happen next, he may be interested in you but I think he is working up to something and you know, he may be a shy, so be patient, no nothing unsual happen to me at all.

Yes, I'm trying not to, really. I know it probably doesn't sound like it, but I've backed off him considerably. I'm at a point where he has to come to me, I'm not coming to him.

See. something good did happen after all! Maybe tomorrow something even better will happen!
Today, the best thing that happened to me was that my husband took it upon himself to clean the house and cook dinner for me. He gave me a much needed break from the household chores. It may not seem like much to some people, but to me, a day that the house gets cleaned and I don't have to do it myself is a great day.

I'm happy to hear you got another hug! That's definitely a good point to any day! As for my day, I liked that I was busy (but not too busy!) all day. I never felt overworked or bored, I was working at a happy medium the whole time. When I got home from work, though, I got an even better surprise! My boyfriend had cleaned my apartment and left flowers and a note for me on my front table. He had to leave earlier this morning and I won't see him until late Monday night, so he wanted to leave something special. I'm still grinning ear to ear from it!

My son came by surprise to visit me today, he stayed for supper and we talked like never before. He confided in me alot of things and I was very happy. He didn't want to leave..if it wasn't that his wife has to work tomorrow he would have slept over.
We are both in the same online business as you all know and we worked ont that..as we were talking we had a couple of people who signed in that we don't know where they came from..wowow..We really had a great time..am so happy.@singlemommy (2955)

I'm sure it was! I know it is amazing how close a mother is with her son, isn't it? My son is only 2 and I can't imagine what my life would be like without him in it.

I got up early and wrote a lot. I feel happy and productive. I posted on Mylot and added about 4 pages to a story, plus a paragraph to another one (that's sadly going to be too short for the story competition I want to enter). I'm going to keep working and even go to poetry writing group today.

Hey singlemommy! I do agree that he sure is sending you a
bunch of mixed messages for sure! I don't blame you for being
a bit confused! I don't know what to tell you! I do know that
by now he definitely knows that you are interesed in him so
the next move definitely has to come from him! Keep playing
it cool and see what happens! I know that it isn't easy, but
you have done everything that you could possibly do besides
asking him out straight forward and I don't think that you
want to do that, or do you?

I considered it and almost went there, but I would just rather he asked me out. I really just want to put this in God's hands and trust in him that He will let it happen if it is meant to. So, I'm just kind of trying to go with the flow and see where Mr. FedEx takes it. Will he or won't he? I don't know, guess I shouldn't sweat it too much.1 person likes this

Hi ya singlemommy
Well it is my youngest son's birthday today and he is 4 so everything today is going well! He got some gifts from a couple of people that I wouldn't have expected him to get something from so that was a really nice surprise. We are off to an indoor play area after his brothers have finished school, then onto McDonalds which means I don't have to cook tonight (
) then home for a bit of homemade birthday cake and bed

I don't know what this Mr FedEx is playing at! Oh well, hugs are always good whatever they mean! I attended my little girls' school assembly this morning and some of the kids put on a fun show for us which was lovely, so that was good thing number 1.
My husband informed me that he won't be home for dinner as he's eating out with his boss who flew in from head office. Eating dinner without my husband is not so good but not having to cook a complicated meal is great! My daughter and I will just have some pasta, much easier! There goes good thing number 2.
I noticed my MyLot earnings have gone up more than I predicted good thing number 3.
It's only the middle of the day here in Australia so hopefully I will have a few more good things coming my way.

hello singlemommy,
well, aside from being alive today and being with my family which are great things, my kids will be home from school earlier than the usual, so we would be having some time together watching television (this would have to happen yet).
With your Fedex guy, he might have missed you too. And maybe when he saw you, he was just too excited and that made him hug you. :)
I wish you all the best, not only for this day, but everyday of your life.

I had surgery on my left shoulder on Feb. 23, 2009 & today when I went to PT the Dr told me my shoulder was doing great!!! That made my day because ever since last August when I got hurt at work my shoulder has been in terrible pain. Which my shoulder still is in pain but I take pain killers to help releave my pain. And at times I have even had to go to sleep with ice on my shoulder to help my pain. So I was glad to here what the Dr had to say. And if ever anyone needs shoulder surgery, do go ahead & have the surgery it helps in more ways than just your shoulder pain. My neck hurt, my jawline all the way back behind my left ear and down my left side of my back. It is so strange how one problem can cause so many different problems. No one knows how much pain I have been in since last year. And now it is finally getting somewhat better. It is not half way there yet, but hey it is a lot better than it was before Christmas.

So happy for you......... I got a friend who has been complaining about shoulder pain too... I do hope she will get some kind of treatment for it..... to be in pain of any kind is never a good feeling. It can ruin ur days for sure.... I have been dealing with some chronic pain of my own but today it seemed to let up. And ur right, usually when there is one problem it can affect so many different parts of your body. That's why we should all be trying to take good care of ourselves.... Hope you have a greatnightforever! E.

Enjoying a hug is a good thing, mommy! Today is a good day for me. I managed to help a client reconcile some account discrepancies which have been bothering us for days. It is such a good feeling that I am charged for more. Now I am helping my boss do some downloading..... and mylotting at the same time.

There are times when one hugs another in the spirit of companionship. We meet somebody whom we are comfy with and thus when we meet we hug. Dont see anything more in this lest you get hurt, and I sure would hurt to see you hurt. Take things as it comes, do not see any ultirior motives in his hugs. Its just plain compatabilty. Im glad you got your hug which you were longing for and its the good thing that happened to you. My day went as usual. Nothing good or bad, just another day in a working mothers life. Take care and keep smiling.

ASK HIM OUT! LOL Don't wait for him to make the first move. Some guys have a hard time asking women out, and when they do finally get up the nerve to ask...they SCREW IT UP and look dumb, then they are too embarrassed to even talk to the girl any more...Trust me...I am a guy...I know from experience. When I was a teenager, I had the hardest time in the world getting a date. It wasn't until I got older that I got a little bolder and a little better at it, but some guys NEVER get good at it. It doesn't mean that he is not confident in himself, or that he will be a bad boyfriend, and the fact that he hasn't asked certainly may not mean that he is not interested in you...some guys just don't know how to ask...so they avoid the topic until the woman asks...if she ever does....if you want it...you gotta go get it LOL

Nothing good happened to me. My car is in the shop with a blown intake gasket. Its going to cost $650 to fix. I dont have the money because Im on unemployment. Now I dont have a car so finding a job just became that much harder. This is mainly due to the fact that I dont live in a city, I live in a small town where if you want to work you have to drive to do it. We dont have public transportation.
So, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

The one good thing that happened to me today was that my youngest son and I got a chance to spend some time together. I could make it longer and give you more details but it's been a sort of strained relationship, every since he's become a teen. Anyways he had to call on Mom today to come to his rescue and pick him up from school. Then as we were driving him together, just the two of us, I felt for a slight instance that we were close again.Which is something that hasn't been present in our lives in a long long time.
As for the Fedex man, Good for you that he gave you a hug. It's funny how love always finds it's way. You could continue to play it cool you know and then time will tell if it's meant to be something more than just friends. Not to say that friends isn't important b/c they are. But having a person to think of you as more than a friend is something that I consider kind of special....Anyways, my advice is to play it cool but not too cool. Hope that makes since, lols. Thanks for sharing today. ttyl............... E.

Is counting down to leaving my workplce of "hell" considered a good thing? I have 3 more days to go before I leave the company for good. :) I'm happy for you that you got a hug. But please don't read too much into it. I love to hug my friends too. For I have read that hugging is good for health.
Hope more good things will happen to you!
