Re: What Made You Smile Today?
I finally found the poem that I loved when I was a little girl. I couldn't remember all the words but knew it had something to do with morning, trees, bees and birds. LOL
And now ladies and gentlemen, because I know you really want to know, here it is:
Good Morning
Good morning, sky,
Good morning, sun,
Good morning, little winds that run!
Good morning, birds;
Good morning, trees;
And creeping grass, and brownie bees!
How did you find out it was day?
Who told you night had gone away?
I'm wide awake;
I'm up now too,
I'll be right out to play with you!

Re: What Made You Smile Today?
I broke something I use for work while on the road today. It would be a lengthy/costly process to ship it back to the manufacturer to have it repaired. Since I'm quite handy I knew I could scrounge up the materials I needed, minus something akin to a watch-strap pin.
I went into a local business looking to buy one, but they didn't sell them (not without the entire strap, which I didn't need). However a very kind woman working there pulled out a box of used pins they'd removed from watches over time and let me take what I needed free of charge! My repair worked like an absolute charm.
Then at dinner time I'd ordered Mexican food for take out, but they forgot my tortilla chips (seems like a no brainier right). I called and they apologised and offered to get them ready, but would be a half hour round trip to get them. So I went down to the hotel restaurant to purchase just a plain side order of chips. The waiter handed me an order, no charge!
Don't worry though, I paid it forward already.

Re: What Made You Smile Today?
to have and to hold from this day forward,
in sickness and in health,
in the scars on our hearts from previous relationships,
in the invisible baggage we’ve carried since childhood,
in the unrealistic expectations we’ll have for one another,
in the wild eccentricities of relatives we’ll inherit,
in the specific neuroses we’ll have to carry for each other,
in the cutting words we’ll speak even knowing how much they’ll hurt,
in the emotional distance that will sneak up on us,
in receding hairlines and expanding waistlines,
in disastrous vacations that we can’t afford to begin with,
in changes to one another that will challenge us,
in unceremonious firings and career disasters,
in unlikely victories and unexpected joy,
in dreams and plans and paths that will diverge,
in times when we’re on top of the world,
in times when we’re hanging by a thread,
in countless treasures we’ll find hiding in the ordinary,
in quiet resentments that we’ll let fester too long,
in the way we’ll memorize the lines on one another’s faces,
in leaving each other the last cookie,
in personal sacrifices we can’t imagine we’ll one day have to make,
in pregnancy or infertility or miscarriage,
in defending one another fiercely,
in middle school projects we’ll hear about the night before,
in late night pipe cleaner runs to the grocery store,
in opportunities we’ll miss for one another,
in bankruptcies and failed businesses and poor investments,
in hands we’ll hold through inconceivable grief,
in the things we’ll do that will one day drive each other nuts,
in the times we’ll do those things on purpose because we know,
in learning how to push each other’s buttons,
in choosing not to push them,
in midlife crises that will appear early and repeatedly,
in impulse buys and odd fashion choices we’ll make as a result,
in hot sex and the times when it isn’t so hot—or existent,
in the billion holy moments that we alone will share,
in frantic, middle-of-the-night rides to the hospital,
in the fitting together of our bodies when we embrace,
in forgiving stuff we’ll never dream we’ll be able to forgive,
in the space we’ll make to let each other’s guard down fully,
in the time we’ll waste staring into phones while we’re together,
in the arguments we’ll have when we’re really angry at someone else,
in the candy we’ll hide from our children,
in the candy we’ll hide from one another,
in the flatulence we’ll each blame on the dog,
in the comparisons we’ll sometimes make to other marriages,
in flirtations with people that we should avoid but won’t,
in the times we’ll pine for the greener grass,
in the times we’ll realize it’s beneath our feet,
in *bleep* hitting the fan,
in cleaning it up together,
in the changes we won’t see coming,
in the diagnosis we won’t see coming,
in the approaching car we won’t see coming,
in a vomiting kid on a road trip,
in a second vomiting kid on a road trip,
in gladly losing the rental car deposit,
in the way we’ll fight with one another,
in the way we’ll fight for one another,
in so many things that would terrify us today if we knew we’d go through them,
in the wild, exhilarating, sacred, painful working out of a marriage that won’t look like another that has ever existed on the planet, and one that we’re going to hold tightly to with everything we have
Until death do us part.
