With so much negativity nowadays, how about we focus on positive things a bit?

What was the last time someone did something nice for you???

Something that brought a smile to your face or warmed your heart/soul?

Share some POSITIVITY y'all!!!

I could go on ... and on !

I am surrounded by really wonderful people ...

Family, friends, and so on

There is NOT often a day that goes by that another within this arena doesn't do some sort of random NICE thing

That's just how my circle rolls !

My sister stabbed me with needles on Sunday - and then put some tacks in my ankles that I wore for two days.

My rich neighbor gave me a bag of old clothes and I about died- beautiful silk shirts, nice handbags, even some beautiful dried flowers- I thought that was so nice of her!

PJ put me on his fish slap list.

I've been blessed this past year or so, with a wonderful "clan" of friends (in RL and on the Org) who have gotten me through some really rough patches.

Getting invited for dinner at my friends' places or out somewhere are always a welcome surprise.

Getting a free (used) Thinkpad for junior recently was nice (even though we're missing the password so I need to figure that minor detail out).

Getting a Welcome 2 Australia concert T-shirt in the mail was very nice!

I'm really appreciating the positivity being thrown my way, and hope I can repay in kind whenever possible.

She's studying Chinese medicine (which includes acupunture).

I slept great the last two nights - which was the "stabbing" goal.

Ya forgot to fish slap this!

Yesterday my mommy brought me some pastelon

it's a lasagne made with sweet plantain, meat, olives, oinion, pimento and tons of cheeses (provolone, mozeralla and goat cheeses).... it is so rich and sweet, she makes it perfectly were she keeps it as ungreasy as possible because it is an oily dish.

It was really good, but I can only eat that stuff once every 4 years or so... just to remember.

Today we got out with my mom's kitty to get kitty his first set of shots....

She likes me to accompany her to translate even though she speaks fluent English.

I have people around me that do nice things for me all the time but the last really sweet thing I can think of is after having a really hard week - two flat tires in 3 days, work totally sucked - my now ex drove into town, surprised me at work with a dozen roses and completely and totally pampered me all weekend.

It was wonderful.

I've never had Pastelon!

...but I thought it was a Dominican dish...?

There's a typical Honduran dish called "Tapado" that's a stew with dried beef & coconut milk & miscellaneous vegetables. It's such a heavy dish, that I had some about 14 years ago when an aunt came to visit, and I think I FINALLY digested all of it and am ready for another bowl!

Now THAT will earn you brownie points, huh?

I am pretty sure Dominicans make a variation of this dish this also, both cultures are simliar and cook lots of the same stuff.

Oh and !!!!

Tapado sounds delish!

Yeah pastelon will make you a diabetic and give you a heart attack in one stroke if you aren't careful, and this is why I only like to eat this dish once every 4 years or so...

I'd been eyeing this very expensive, but very unique and beautiful clock at a specialty store. The person I was with, found not the exact same clock but one that was so similar and unique and gave it to me. T'was sweet.

hmmm...I'm usually the one who organizes nice shit for others.

Just last month, a co-worker was going on her first flight and first cruise for her 50th birthday.

I organized the others and said....can we buy this girls' DRANKS on her cruise?????

We collected $200.

I've been on a cruise....them $10 margaritas add up!

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a rough few weeks at work, working on project after project after project. I seemed to stay afloat, got those projects done in addition to handling my day to day duties as well, and mind you, this was in the middle of the week and I still had about 3 more projects to go. I go into my supervisor's office, damn near ready to vent because I was stressed and exhausted when she tells me that my boss was awarding me with a bonus to show appreciation for all of the hard work that I had been doing. It was so unexpected that I almost had tears in my eyes, but I didn't cry. I was very surprised and felt appreciated.

just now! A need was mentioned and the person said "I will help you with that" it involves a car!

I'm going to be nice to myself right now and make that

@PJ:

My friends support me, while I try to get my old place in order so it's ready for tennants (who hopefully want to move in soon). And I'm trying to get my new house ready so I can move in. My friends are wonderful.

Yesterday, my neighbour put me on the guestlist for the Roots concert. And it was a spectacular concert.

I'm grateful for the wonderful people around me.

more like the opposite

I've been trying to cheer up a close friend and a relative during the last couple of weeks

last time someone did something NICE to me? probably 2010 (excluding birthdays and Xmas)
