And… “noroc”? It’s Romanian!! Makes me so happy.
Compliments–both giving and recieving. I used to be shy about wanting to tell someone that I like their nails or something… Now I try to compliment people whenever I genuinely do like something about them. It’s such a simple way to acknowledge a person and lends way for more great conversation! Plus, it gives me a little skip in my step when I can tell I brightened someone’s day.
Sakurambo vert Green Tea and a happy song on my ipod! 😀
One thing that always brightens my day is when my dearest gives me a call to check in. It may only last a minute or so, but it’s lovely to know he’s thinking about me 🙂

This seems to be a popular answer for myself but Zena always brightens up my day. She is never ever not happy to see me. People are weird where sometimes they don’t want your company and either act too cheery or really show with their face they don’t want to see you. Zena always loves my company unless she wants to be left alone, which is like never. She’s always around somebody. She can’t talk but her eyes, ears and tail always tell me how she’s feeling. I love spending time with her.
getting fun emails (ie not work related), getting compliments from my fiance, and going to yoga
One of the things that always brightens my day is getting a cheesy lovey text my boyfriend who is currently working and living in London for the next two years while I am in Chicago finishing my MBA. Random lovey texts from him make the distance between us seem bearable.
Tapioca Express Lemon black tea with grass jelly. Makes my day. =)

What brightens my day is that when I get up there is
always all the coffee fixing in the coffee maker.
All I have to do is turn it on and the coffee will

when you don’t have to make it yourself.
Thank you.
