The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment. - Doug Larson

My smiling heart moment today was pretty simple, but really just made it a good day.  My sister and I decided we want to see Hunger Games today.  Since neither of us drive, we are reliant on public transit.  Normally this isn't a huge deal, but the bus schedule on Sunday is very wonky, and not many of the buses line up.  So, essentially, our second bus leaves the station two minutes before our first bus gets there, meaning we'd be sitting at the bus station for an hour.  Because the first bus is technically a bus from another town, we're normally told that they can't ask the other buses to wait.  But today, our bus driver immediately asked us if we needed a bus put on hold for us, and, on top of that, the second bus driver waited!  My heart smiled knowing that these two ladies were helping us out and we wouldn't have to wait an hour!  

It's amazing how people can do very little things that can make a difference in another person's day.

Today isn't even half over, but I already know what my smiling heart moment is for the day!  I've set some goals for myself, one is to be able to run a certain distance, the other to get to a certain weight by July.  Well, for someone who isn't a runner and who has been working on losing weight for a while now with no success, I was a little unsure as to whether or not I'd be able to do it.  But, I refused to give up and wanted to at the very least be able to say I gave it my all and hopefully see some results, if not exactly what I was hoping for.  However, today I did it!  I haven't yet reached my weight goal, but not only did I reach my running goal, but I exceeded it! I ran an extra 1.3km than I planned on!  My heart smiled when I got off the treadmill, my legs shaking like jelly and knowing that I accomplished a goal!

Back in the summer I discovered the amazing television show Game of Thrones.  In the fall, I bought the first book in the series that the show is based on by George R. R. Martin.  I quickly burned through all five books in the series, and haven't gotten several other people hooked on the series.  A couple months ago I pre-ordered the television series, which happened to arrive today!  My heart smiled when I opened it up and watched the first episode, and I'm sure it'll continue to smile after every episode!
