I agree money is not everything and there are much more important things in life. But it's a way to make us happy especially when do not have any clue whatsoever. I just opened my mail box to find 21 USD being transferred to my Paypal. Even though it's not a big amount the unexpectedness of it made it all the more special. I am very happy. Anything happened recently that you didn't quite expect but got you into happiness?

Yeah..I agree. Here, however, I was more ecstatic by the happiness out of the unexpectedness.

"Man does not live by bread alone; but if you've got bread man, then you're NEVER alone!" I've had a pretty surprise free time of it lately, but I'm holding out for some upcoming events that'll sweep me off my feet! lol. Oh, there IS one! I found out my Sister is pregnant with her first baby..... That made me very happy!

Hi dear! I think God wanted to make you happy that is why He rewarded you with 21 $ unexpectedly. It is a good amount when converted into Indian Rupees. I am also hoping such windfall will come my way. You keep ‘writing’ and doing other similar activities, therefore, the amount would have come as an incentive of your hard work. Keep enjoying and be happy!

Hi dear! May God shower its more bounty on you and may you get more and more dollars so that your happiness could sustain. It shows that hard work on sites always pays in the long run. Keep the good work going. Thanks for your prayers and wishes, hopefully the great God will shower some of his blessing upon me too (in terms of some dollars). Good Night!

Of course I would be ever so careful to make sure that the person who sent me the money is a company or person I know. Otherwise I would be worried or feel guilty / concerned that the money was delivered to me by mistake. I think that money can bring us happiness especially if we are in need of money. My husband and I are happy to have money now as for two years our only source of income was mylot. Of course every little bit helps. Now the last thing that brought me into happiness was finding out that I should be called very soon to start training for work... The last thing before that was mine and my husband's marriage, and in between that just the merriment of making a wish list for Christmas. I am sure to be in the Thanksgiving / Christmas mood soon. Of course Christmas is so much more then material things.

That's a nice response. Yes, I do know the company and it was my hard earned money but it came at a time when I wasn't quite expecting it. And congratulations on the training. Hope you find it very hopeful and do well.

It is always great to get money at an unexpected time, whether the money is something you were eventually expecting to get or not. The training I will be doing will be for a job I have lined up, so it won't technically be training before finding a job, but in job training! lol!

Congratulations in receiving those funds mimpi! If that was from an earning site, I know you worked hard for it.^_^ Mine didnt really result to happiness, but more of relief. You see I was having trouble enrolling in a 6 unit subject this semester because of some delayed fulfillment of requirements. We were about to submit those documents earlier than the deadline but the adviser told us that we need to attend one more activity and it will be included in those requirements. So that activity lasted a week, the needed reports and revision were done to the document but there was some problem. We had to revise that document twice more before it was accepted. When it was accepted, then can we only get our grades, and be able to enroll for this semesters subject. However, the last day for adding and dropping subjects was this Monday, since we didnt have any grade yet we cant enroll in the subject. I was losing hope actually, to the point that I already conditioned myself that I might be graduating in October next year, instead of March, meaning I wouldnt be able to attend the graduation rites. We still pushed through last Monday, and we were able to talk to our program director to allow as for clearance so we can enroll in the subject. The chairperson also approved our appeal. It was such a huge relief that I was able to finally enroll in the said subject. To see that matriculation form saying that I was enrolled was kinda surreal. I just accepted it without any other feeling rather than relief.

Hello mimpi. Like you said, "It got you into happiness though you did not quite expect it". A couple of days ago, I also received some small money due to my help to someone in another company. I did not expect to get paid for what I did. I insisted on not getting it, but the boss insisted on giving it to me for my kind help to their company. I had to accept it and now I am happy that I have some small money to spend during the holidays that I am having these days. I am going to buy something nice for me. It is a sunny and warm day today. I am very happy not only because of the small money, but also because of the warm weather today and my holidays. Happiness is something we are satisfied easily with. I am happy, happy and happy. I wish you happy as always.

It's actually quite cool to be rich in numbers as in money-wise, then we can do the things we love and stuff like that. But there is also a fine line to making money too much, like we need to prioritize family happiness, time and stuff like that. I appreciate our parents sacrifices before to slog and work to keep the family comfortably happy with a bit of money, so I could see where this leads to happiness. But the value of money is also important. For instance, there are also people out there whom only befriend people with money and that, to me, is something which is not so good. It can only mean one thing; either being materialistic or not. But generally speaking, there are quite a lot of people out there befriending someone with a status quo, and perhaps in my ratio count mind, out of 10, only 2 or 3 are genuine. Sad but true.

Hi there mimpi. Well considering that 21 dollars is what i will have after receiving all my payments by the end of the year in my paypal account, i think that was a motive to celebrate. I know how it feels to get unexpected surprises and it feels great.

PS: apart from getting better prices at some items in my Christmas shopping, i didn't get any special feelings from unexpected surprises... Ah wait... i did get a SPECIAL feeling from the fact that yesterday i found a hole in one of my teeth, and i had to go to the dentist to day to find out it was going to cost me about 25 $

Congratulations my friend, i am happy for you. No, nothing like this has happened to me recently but i keep my fingers crossed that what i have been hoping for would finally come true. It might not be as unexpectedly as what had happened to you but still it will catch me by surprise if it did happen.

I love getting money in my PayPal even the small amounts! It is a challenge to watch my earnings grow no matter how small. Congratulations for your earnings. You asked about surprises. I was surprised when we went shopping last Saturday and came home with a big LCD V! I was not happy about the cost but once it was all set up I was so excited… It’s life changing!

Last Sunday i celebrated my birthday..and i invited an indian friend who lives here in my country,they are my internet friends for more than 2 years now. I had been to their house several times already...and lasT Sunday,i was really really happy to see them. I never expect that they can come...only their daughter confirms that she would surely come whatever happens...so,i was really expecting the young lady alone.

Hi Mimpi, I would be extremely happy too if it happened to me. These are small pleasant things that become even more special because it carries with it an element of surprise. It doesn't actually have to be money, many other things that come our way - just the thought of having without expecting them brings great joy in itself.

Hello Yes its true that even a small thing makes you happy in life. but in this occasion its not the money that made you happy its your satisfaction that made you happy in the true sense. The amount that you generated is not big it its not useless. The satisfaction of earning even a small amount by your true efforts is priceless. The rich people make more money than us but they don't become happy every time they earn because they does care more about it more as they have plenty of it. They are not satisfied by some profit. The money you earned can be handy in time of need and you had it that make u satisfied. So be happy and make other happy Happy Mylotting

Money is useless when it comes to some aspect. Can it buy Life? Money is a similar interest of the world.. I wanna make money, you wanna make money, they wanna make money.
