It’s the little things

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.
