I have had a series of days that have been less than good. Not really bad, but definitely not good.
And sometimes on the less than good days I have to think about the things that make me smile. Usually they end up being the smallest things in the world. Things I am grateful and thankful and really blessed to be able to smile at.
- Walking in the door from work, seeing my two favorite people in the world – one small and one big – and just smiling because I belong to them.
- Walking in the door to MY HOUSE. One that I worked really hard to get.
- Seeing the sun shine.
- Seeing clouds in the sky, looking up at them and finding what shapes they make. One of my favorite pastimes.
- Knowing that every morning around 7:15 my sister will call. And we will talk on my way to work and her way home from work.
- The way Gianna talks. It is adorable. She can be saying NO MAMEEE and I still think it’s cute and smile at her.
- The fact that i miss my husband during the day.
- When I have on a cute outfit.
- When I have on cute shoes.
- Coffee.
- Fruit.
- Seeing an elderly couple holding hands, holding doors for one another etc.
- Holding the door for someone. Or having them hold the door for me.
- Saying thank you.
There are always things, even on the worst of the worst days, that make me smile. Maybe it’s because I truly do not like being grumpy or maybe it’s because honestly no day is THAT bad that you can’t smile at least once.

Bad days suck...good things are awesome. Cute shoes are the best!!!
I remember when we would lay on the hill and pick out the shapes in the clouds....
