It's Random In Here: Happy Every Day!

Listen, I know this is a strange title for a Monday blog post. Most people would not group Monday in their favorite days of the week, I'm usually in that boat. But sometimes, you see something or read something or hear something that just sort of sticks with you and makes you smile when you think about it again.

For me, today, it was an email from someone who doesn't speak english as their first language. Some of the most beautiful phrases I've ever heard in English, were spoken by people who had to learn english after learning a completely different language.

I ordered a Snitch pocket watch locket pendant from her etsy shop (which, by the way, contains all of the most wonderful and beautiful things pertaining to Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Doctor Who, and other things nerdy and fantastic), I highly recommend that you check her out.

She sent this email to me, letting me know my order had shipped.

"Hi, my friend,

The item has been sent with care from CHINA on Sep 15, 2012.

Shipping via china post air mail( always take 15-30 days.)

And, if meet some nature phenomenon, such as Heavy snow, floods, earthquakes,

the shipping time will be more longer than normal.

I sincerely hope it arrived on time.

I hope you like It when you see It.

If you have any questions, please feel free email me!

Happy every day!

MY BEST!

That was one of the first things I read this Monday morning, how can that not make you smile? I want to start ending all my letters with a "Happy every day! MY BEST!"

The next are from a woman who works on the same floor as me. I think she's Armenian, but her accent sounds a little Russian sometimes. Every time I see her, she is nothing but smiles, like she hasn't seen you in years and you are one of her very favorite people. I have never seen her without a smile and a happy spark in her eyes.

We both got into the elevator one evening after work. She turned to me, trademark smile firmly in place and happily exclaimed, "Thank Gods it is Friday!" How can you not smile right along with her and agree?

Another time, we happened to meet in the restroom. I was washing my hands and she turned to me. "You look beautiful today. You look like a Barbie."

Now, I would never describe my appearance as "like a Barbie", the Matel model and I have very little in common, but coming from that woman, it was nothing but the best compliment in the world.

So yes, today, I do like Monday. If your day was less than happy, then hopefully this little bit from my weekend will help.

The Boyfriend and I had gone to get his car detailed. While we were waiting, I saw a dog, who kid you not, looked like the dog from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Here is that dog.
