"you having a good day?"

I'm online at work all the time. Even if I'm not at my computer, I'm online. I sign in as soon as I get to work and only sign off if I'm trying focus, trying to get more accomplished, and am also choosing to be easily distracted.
Kennedy, my third-grade cousin, is always really excited to talk to me when she's online. Our conversations usually go something like this:

k: hi lyssa

We talk about the nearest event, her school, her fam, which of my siblings have emailed her recently and what the emails have said and what I think of them. And then, at some point in the conversation, she always asks me if I'm having a good day. I love that question. She doesn't ask me how I'm doing. She gives me the chance to evaluate the day, and I answer her honestly. She's definitely caught me on days I haven't been thinking about how great they've been. She asked me one day that it seemed like everything had gone wrong, but she makes me think about it. She always gives me reasons to realize that I've had good things happen to me, even if I don't think the day is going so fantastically. It's really cool, and it makes me feel a lot better to know things just aren't that bad.

From the mouths of babes. Literally.
