Meeting people you haven't seen in a long time really helps to brighten up your day!
This past weekend I went on a youth retreat with my church's youth group to Districts in Duluth MN. It was wonderful! There was a great speaker, a pretty decent band and some really good seminar's to go to.
While I was there, a few kids that were in my cabin at camp last summer, (I am a camp counselor during the summers) found me and approached me. It was a nice little reunion. :)
On Sunday, I sang for my camps' spring rally at a church in the middle of no where, and was again reunited with a bunch of people that I haven't seen in ages. I would have to say that those mini reunions have been some pretty significant highlights of my weekend.
It's funny how you can go from not really having a good day or just being so exhausted that you are to the point where you can no longer be social, to seeing someone and suddenly get excited.
Anyway, I didn't want this entire post to be about camp reunions, but about things that help brighten up your day.
I know that for myself, things as little as a smile can sometimes brighten my day up. I always get excited when I get ACTUAL e-mails and not just some stupid facebook update or spam e-mail. Finding something that you thought was lost forever is also another good thing to brighten up your day with. Being with friends or just talking to friends helps as well.
More things that always make me happy are shopping, going out, taking naps, laughing, watching a good movie, reading a good book, making something creative and cute, knitting, etc.
I feel like I should sing the song "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music." You know, the whole listing favorite things parts, "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, snowflakes that stay on my nose and my cheeks, these are a few of my favorite things!"
So, what are YOUR favorite things or things that just help to brighten up your day?
