This is the thread to share good vibes! So all those dopers who are a little under the weather or those who just want to share a good story check in here.
Story: Last night my wife and I were grilling out side, just the two of us, when I realized we needed some more stuff from the store. So we both went out, got the skewers for the shish-ka-bobs and headed back. On the way home we turned onto our road and there was an odd amount of traffic stopped at the stop sign. Maybe, 8 cars in total, in a row. I turned slowly onto our road and noticed, three cars back a young woman crying (quite hard) in her car. I for some odd reason did something I really can not explain. I slowed the car down next to the young woman - waiting for the cars infront of her to go and crying really hard - stuck my head out of the window and motioned for her to look. Then smiled and said, “Hey! everything’s going to be OKAY!”
The whole time slowly rolling by. My wife smiled as well, and the girl cracked a small grin as we drove on. Further down the road I didn’t say anything, my wife didn’t say anything, but we both had odd smiles on our faces. Then right before we got home, a little girl, maybe 12, was riding her bike on the side of the road, we did not know the little girl at all, and had maybe seen her once or twice before. When we passed her, she smiled a huge smile and waved! My wife waved back and we just couldn’t believe how good we felt. We spent the rest of the night on the back porch reflecting on not just what happened that evening, but on other times in our lives that we just felt like everything was going good, or things just seemed to be going our way…
So dopers, how do you feel when things are going your way, how often does it happen, and how do you bring our self out of a funk when in one?
Finally, a Happiness thread!!
