Wednesday Smiles

[only_more_love]

My smile:  rediscovering an old song -- U2's Dirty Day.

I mostly post fannish things in this journal, but I think it's easy to forget that there is a real person behind the fic and the Bones commentary.  Same goes for other people, of course.   So I'd like to take a minute to acknowledge our humanity.

If you'd like to do so, please tell me something that made you smile this week, no matter how small.  Could be the snuggle your dog gave you on Monday, the song you discovered on Tuesday, or the way your significant other smiled at you today.  I've been posting these since December.  If you feel up to it, please respond—here, in your own journal, or elsewhere.   Feel free to post more than one thing and/or respond to other comments.

Why am I doing this?  Because I think it is far too easy to get caught up in the stresses, big and small, that we all experience.   Being able to focus on one positive thing, however small, can give one a valuable sense of perspective.

Why Wednesday?  I figure a little mid-week cheer can't hurt.  :)

Please feel free to comment even if we're not "friends." 

P.S. 
I don't always get a chance to respond to all your smiles, but I read every single one.  They all leave me feeling a little bit lighter than I did before.  So thank you!  I hope you're all having a good week, my friends, and if you're not, I hope it improves.

I hear you; I would be beyond distraught if I ever fell out with Space :(

These things happen and e-mail is bad for lack of tone, but the fault was entirely mine for being a smart ass at an inappropriate time. Keep those good betas close; they are NOT a dime a dozen. And on top of that, they're good people...

So true! And I totally get what you mean about email not being good for tone - so easy for something to sound completely different to how you wanted it to!

Sorry to butt in, but I completely agree-email and anything really that comes online is really hard to interpret tone, which is why you always have to be careful what you say. Especially when you're joking, as I've discovered when I can't tell if my friend's joking over IM and such. Although luckily for me, no fights from it. ;)
