One Of The Best Days Ever!
Best Days
Paring down one of the best days ever I have experienced is a difficult task. I feel fortunate that I have had many “best” days and sometimes the “best” days are not that eventful but are more about the feelings of joy I experienced that day. Small things often bring great enjoyment.
Some Examples Of Great Joy Are:
*talking to any of my kids on the phone
*getting pictures of my grandson, Vance, texted to me
*hearing that one of my kids has gotten a new job, maybe one that they have really wanted
*having a great cup of coffee in the morning while I wake up
*watching the hummingbirds come to the bird feeder
*seeing wildlife unexpectedly
*eating a fantastic meal; especially one that I didn’t cook
*spending time with good friends
*taking a nice hot shower and feeling so clean and alive
*being a friend to someone in need
*getting a good report at the dentist
And There is More
*going on a nature walk and admiring the miracles of nature
*letting the sun shine down onto my face and soaking in the warmth and energy of it penetrating my whole body
*doing something nice for someone without them knowing it, for example; paying for someone’s coffee behind me in line at Starbucks
*knowing that my mom is peacefully resting during the final stages of her life
*having a really good talk with an old friend and feeling so loved and cared about
*knowing that my kids are happy and are enjoying their lives
*having the best husband I could ask for; one that always loves me, thinks of me, cares for me, and is my best friend for life
Joyful Moments
If I can feel any of these joyful moments, I consider the day one of the best days ever. I am a lucky lady to have such goodness in my life and I am forever grateful for the things that I sometimes take for granted. When I stop to think about these treasured moments, I am filled with gratitude for the life that I get to live.

"The world is full with my views on it". Let's make treasured moments out of everything and be thankful for all great moments in life, and when we look back for example in the day that passed, we can find so many joyful moments!
Too true it’s the simple things that bring the greatest joy. And also the smallest things that can upset us all day. I remember when one of my kids went to school, he came home grumpy. I said , what’s wrong. Shrug of shoulders, I dunno.
I took off my sons shoes and found a small stone inside his shoe,lol. That small stone made a bad day for him.

Best Days indeed! Taking into consideration the crazy busy life of today, it is a day well spent if one can just give a little time to enjoy life's special moments. Today it seems that the desire to achieve is replacing the need to live a peaceful life.
Thanks for listing some of those joyful moments that many are missing.
