These posts from
the brighter side of life are a great reminder that there are still so many
reasons to smile.
Every now and then, we drop the cynicism and the troll humor and get sincere. It may sound cheesy, but we all need those moments where we open up our hearts and celebrate the goodness that quietly exists all around us. These little moments of mirth, shared jokes, and personal victories are what make like beautiful and worth living. We hope you never lose sight of that.

Possibly the sweetest act of kindness I’ve seen. Family had electricians in every week for the past 6 weeks and their little boy was obsessed with them. He hounded them with questions, kindness and constant offers to help! The little boy just received this from them.

Today’s my birthday. I work 3rd shift monitoring the machines at a tourist attraction. When the clock hit midnight, the security guy who I barely know and the only other person on site turned the corner and surprised me with this. A great start to what could have been a lonely day.

3 months ago I learned that you should be able to breathe through your nose. 8 days ago I underwent extensive reconstructive sinus surgery. Today I got out my stitches and splints and breathed a real breath through my nose for the first time in 26 years. It’s silly but I cried.

This is my mom. She’s been working up to 16-20 hours a day at a nursing home in full PPE because someone broke the rules and introduced COVID to the residents. She may not be the best at selfies, but I’m damn proud of her.

My son is proudly showing his new socks that he knit himself! This has been a really tough year for everyone. I just want to encourage you to follow your own path. So knit your own socks, plant your own garden, bake your beautiful cakes – do whatever makes you happy as long as it doesn’t harm yourself or other people. Appreciate your unique accomplishments – whatever they are.

My pupper died Monday, and I had to return an item to chewy.com because of it. They refunded me, and sent me a huge bouquet of flowers. This is the service Papa C will build into GME, and that’s why I’ll hold until doomsday.
