I had a nice interaction with a friend of mine, where I pointed out to her a turning point in her life she'd been unaware of, and it really opened her eyes. It was nice, because the moment was one of those "intuitive" ones where you just kinda know what to say, it "comes to you" and has a real impact on the other person and you. I had to stop myself from tearing up, and she was crying. It was pretty nice.

That's WONDERFUL.

I went out to lunch with my cousin, Matt, and his mom. And Matt didn't bother me, for once! Nah, we had a great (and funny) discussion about Scientology. Matt's so smart.

I made small talk with a woman at the deli counter of the grocery store.

I found out that my brother loves and looks out for me more than I'd ever realized before. He is the GREATEST BROTHER in the history of brothers, and I love him.

I was able to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon with my boyfriend today.

I sat next to someone on a bus today without freaking out. Just focussed on the newspaper l was 'trying' to read. Anxiety begone!

anonymid · 04-17-2006, 12:48 PM

I talked on the phone with a fellow SASer today. It made me feel so warm and happy.

Redox · 04-17-2006, 02:13 PM

I meet up with two people, a guy and girl, for a study session today.

Maggi ~ Kudos to you for being on the positive thread a lot ;-)

One good thing.. hmm...
I am making plans to spend time with my newly made girlfriends this weekend in the new city that I just moved to. It makes me happy to have met such nice people already.

I spoke to my old classmate, Terry. Just in passing, but it was nice to actually talk to someone, for a change.

I spoke up in class today, despite my heart pounding in my ears for a good two minutes before I raised my hand.

racheH · 04-19-2006, 01:11 PM

Someone outside the Internet offered me their MSN address.
I was able to concentrate enough to both learn and write in Biology (I'm usually too stressed out and retreating into my own little world, due to a non-SA problem).
I found that the book I read over the holiday that made me see things differently and the way of breathing I learned really do help to keep me engaged with the real world without feeling overwhelmed.

Were we allowed three things?

Some people's posts in this thread are so nice I teared up, seriously

LittleZion · 04-19-2006, 04:34 PM

I got my TiVo. woohoo!

Rozy · 04-20-2006, 05:30 AM

A great topic...
I helped a girl with instructions to my ex-grammar school. And then I though, well, the world obviously doesn't want me to be in a bad mood :-)
And hey, I helped my mother planting flowers..
What else, what else.. It's only 2 o'clock. Who knows what will happen ;-)
:P

I worked out vigorously this time, and i just feel good, more optimistic, less worried about stuff and eating alot better with no tendency towards easter leftovers, because I AM losing weight for summer.
