Sometimes, when it's hard to find something to smile about, there is such comfort in the small things of life. The little pleasures around us to just pass by and grin - knowing God is looking at you and smiling on you.
These make me smile:
1. friend's engagement rings and wedding plans
2. making up strangers' life stories while people watching
3. driving with the windows down and enjoying the orange blossoms
4. childhood songs I used to jam out to
5. slippers at the end of the day
6. having the perfect amount of leftovers from lunch for dinner
7. your friend's kid being just like them
8. people you love meeting other people you love
9. a dog sitting quietly at your feet because they just know it's a quiet moment
10. pictures that are worth a thousand words
11. unassumingly walking outside just at the most intense moment of the sunset
12. Fred. Hammond.
13. Somebody saying what you've been trying to find words for
14. A new pair of shoes that ends up being amazingly comfortable
15. Mat Kearney
16. When second-day hair looks better than first-day hair
17. Realizing you kinda like your toes without polish
18. Looking through the "feel good file" in my office (full of words of affirmation or little memories that keep me going)
19. Turning a pile of papers into a filed system
20. People you love getting good things
21. Talking to my brother on the phone
22. Being secretly barefoot at work
23. Knowing pay-day is coming
24. My nephew's capacity for facial expressions
25. (this one's only for my blonde friends...) admiring a vehicle from afar and, upon getting closer, realizing it is in fact your very own car :)
26. Greeters at church
27. The song that describes this moment in your life
28. A friend calling at the exact moment you're thinking of them
29. Somebody stopping by to ask "if you need anything"
30. Standing quietly and looking at the pictures on your refrigerator
31. The best blanket in your house
32. Falling asleep during one of your favorite movies
33. Taking an aimless drive with good tunes
34. Best friends knowing what (and what not) to say
35. Sighing just before you fall asleep
36. Waiting on a movie to come out
37. When your computer does 10 things at once at the speed of light
38. An empty kitchen sink
39. Tax returns
40. Your favorite chair - the best seat in the house.
41. Being FB "friended" by a childhood buddy
And a million more.
