Hey everyone, just for fun and who knows maybe some interesting information will come of this..... (not likely but humor me please)
From now until this time tomorow, would everyone please just post in this thread - a "hey" or a note of what made you smile in the last 24 hours or anything. Just make a post one time, to get an idea of how many people came to the forum during this 24 hour period.
Thanks in advance! Henry

We have a client here at the place where I work. She is a single parent and works 2 jobs to support her family. We, at the Outreach, have been helping her with food and clothing. Over the past week, she has been volunteering for the School Supply project. Not only has she has been helping to sort supplies, she also took up a donation at work to raise money for school supplies. It did make me smile knowing that we are able to (and do) transform lives. Not only do we help people, but we see them begin helping others.
This is true at Kiva.org too and when we see it actually happening, then it makes it all worth it!
I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you are looking for, but it did make me smile. More of a satisfactory smile.

Hey Henry!
What made me smile today? It's first time today that my 9 month old baby cried seeing me leaving home for office...
Cheers,
Hendra

My 12 and a half year old Great Dane was standing out in the back yard in the sunshine like she loves to do. I went to visit her and when she saw me coming she wagged her tail, grateful for the company in the sunshine.
This is a dog that was so severely abused that Great Dane Rescue deemed her un-adoptable due to her absolute fear of humans. Since she passed the temperament test with flying colors, they decided they were going to just let her live her life out in the kennels of the woman that initially rescued her, since she seemed content. At that time I was grieving over the loss of our old Dane that we had rescued, but Sven was adamant he wanted another. We were looking at other rescued Danes and I just couldn't do it yet, my heart was too raw. It took hearing the story of this poor girl and seeing this abused creature cower in fear that made me step out of my grief and become ready for another rescue. The day we first met her, Sven and I laid face down and spread eagle in the middle of a field and it took an hour for her to circle in to just sniff us. Then we had to talk Great Dane Rescue into trusting us . . .
That was nine and a half years ago, so every tail wag is heart warming. She's come a long way baby!

1:10 PM A funny PM from Peter made me smile. Knowing there are friends here makes me smile! The picture of Geoff's car always makes me smile..... actually the visual of Geoff in THAT car causes this:  Jane |

I'm never happier then when I'm on my knees in a muddy wetland observing the flora and fauna. My "smiliest" moment this summer was when I came across this carnivorous pitcher plant in a peat bog (sarracenia purpurea, for those who must know  ) |

It is 11:25 at this internet bar and I am just buying my first beer - that will make me smile $2 for 15 minutes doesn't make me smile but it's the best I can do... The sun was hot on the lake yesterday but the lightning in the thunderstorm at suppertime started a forestfire across the lake and we watched the trees candling for quite a time - however the rain - all night long - appears to have snuffed it this morning and it is cloudy still - so we drive to town - just in time to attend Henry's roll call that made me smile... BUT THE BEST SMILE OF ALL - I had the opportunity to talk to someone this morning and show them my KIVA binder - the biggest hit was my printout of the story Regina's wheelchair - and were they ever impressed - actually brought tears to the eyes of a big strong man - yay another Kiva Konvert  jan (KivaNut) ps - but thanx Peter for posting Geoff's car again - it really is terrific ! |
