Happy thought for the day
24 May 2004

I'm getting on a plane in a couple hours, and I miss you already. I'll be gone for almost two weeks. While I'm gone, will you do me a favor? Tell me a good thing. Tell me twenty. Tell each other good things every day, like "That's a nice shirt" or "You really listen to me and I appreciate it." Even "please" and "thank you" make a world of difference.

In return, I'll tell you good things about my trip when I get back. I'm certain there will be a long list to share.

I wrote a whole blog about Good Things!
check it out at http://www.moeyyo.com/MM/archives/000038.html
thanks for inspiring me, Christine!

good things:

learning a new language

seeing a shooting star

chillin' out with new acquaintances, while their siamese cats wind their way between your legs

a new blank notebook :o)

going away for a trip -- have an enjoyable vacation! carpe diem!

Hope your trip is going well, Christine.

I am thankful for your pictures and words, and for your sharing them.

You are a much-needed ray of hope and positivity.

I hope your secret is that you are publishing a book.

good thing for the day: being told by a coworker that you would make an excellent daughter-in-law and that she would like to set you up with her son.

sarah | June 6, 2004 03:02 PM


Good things for today: My two year old niece hugging me and whispering a secret in my ear - I love you Auntie.
Christine, we miss you! Come back soon.

Jane | June 6, 2004 10:31 AM


happy thought for the day:
you can always act like a kid when you're in Disneyland - no questions asked.

Hope you're having a wonderful vacation - you have been missed!

a good thing is the way my best friend looks in a grey shirt.

good things of the day:
revisitng the house you grew up in... filling a book full of things you want to do in your lifetime... sleeping in... letting go... making purses out of the most vibrant fabric.

:-D

Emily | May 29, 2004 04:07 PM


good things: the smell of fresh brewed coffee early on a sunny morning, the promise and excitement of the summer's first peony on the brink of exploding open...

susan | May 29, 2004 01:28 AM

I like your page, I think there are so many wonderful things in our life but our eyes are closed, and we can`t see it. We must open our eyes to see that what God has for us...
BAY Have nice day!!!

It would be a great thrill to bump into you while you are in Manila. I am sure I would be too shy to say hi but I would still be giddy just to see you from the corner of my eye. I am such a fan of your positive thinking. Hope you enjoy your stay....

Sylvia | May 25, 2004 11:39 PM


Like the previous post, I too am a serious lurker.. for years!! I've always loved your entire site (including your mailing list) because of its goodness.. it never fails to put a smile on my face. Have a great trip!

cayce | May 25, 2004 07:10 PM


I know I'm a serious lurker, but I wanted to tell you to have to marvelous time.

I enjoy your webpage very much. I'm eager to read your thoughts after you return.

(Oh, thank you for introducing me to Rosie Thomas.)

Lisa | May 25, 2004 10:41 AM


Have a terrific and safe trip!

ani | May 25, 2004 08:31 AM


have fun christine, i will miss you, we all will

my good thing involves you, one day as i moused my way up to close your blog after reading it, im sure as i moused over your 'goodbye' link, i saw my blog name flash up in the corner. even if it didnt really happen, it made me happy to think that you'd added me to your list. it made me feel special, and that is a good thing

carly | May 24, 2004 05:56 PM


have a safe and enjoyable trip christine :) looking forward to craftiness when you return...and maybe some more cake and ice cream :)

becky | May 24, 2004 02:37 PM
