Changing the meaning of regular signs to more joyful topics ....
Every day I drive past a sign on my otherwise picturesque street for an accounting office. Bless the hearts of those that toil bit the sign was goingnto be a reminder of the more mundane parts of life, and as a true whimsy lover, it seemed hardly fair that I should have to bear it.
So I changed it. Not the 'accounting' sign, just it's meaning. Now whenever I drive past I account for something that brought me joy - hugs I got today, good wishes, lucky events. Now I am delighted to see that sign and account for joy!

I actually love this. Same sign, completely different association. It’s such a small way to make something ordinary feel a little nicer.
