Real English Twenty-five: make (someone's) day

On Monday I went for a walk in the park.  I often do that when I want to take a breather, and there isn't a better place to do so in Osaka than Utsubo Park!!  As some of you know, I wear a cute tee-shirt advertising Ez English which stands out quite a bit when I walk around Honmachi and on my commute.  Many people often ask me, "Why do you wear it?"  And I have two token answers. One is, "Why not?"  The other is, "Because I want as many people as possible to see the name of the school, and I can't think of a more effective and cost-efficient way."  So anyway, while I was taking my stroll, a lady pushing a stroller walked up to me and said...

Lady:  Excuse for bothering you, but are you Glenn?
Me:  No worries about bothering me.  Yes, I am.  Have I met you before?  
Lady:  No.  But I saw you walking here before, and I couldn't miss your shirt so I checked out your home page and have been following your blog ever since.  It is really interesting and I can learn a lot of new words and expressions which I didn't know before.
Me:  Really?
Lady: Yes, it is the truth.
Me:  Well, thank you very much for telling me that today.  You know what?  You made my day!  Thanks a lot!
Lady:  My pleasure! And I am looking forward to your next blog so hurry up and finish your walking and get on it!! 
Me:  Roger!

I was lucky that day.  Has anyone or anything made your day recently?
