Me too! Me too!

So I almost didn’t blog today. Not the end of the world but the real problem was what was keeping me from blogging.  I’m a morning blogger, it just suits me. But here it is, mid afternoon and instead of skipping, I’m buckling down and getting it out. So, so, so much on my mind, I say that all the time don’t I?

Because my mind is having a hard time settling I figured I’d copycat off of my lovely friends. I saw their posts about mentioning things that make you smile. I loved reading them; it gives me a”current” glimpse into their lives. They made me smile. Little did I know how I’d need to put it into practice myself...

Today, well this week rather, is trying to break me. Disappointments and frustrations are running rampant so it was obvious that I needed to jump on board and acknowledge all the “smiles” in my life.

·          when blue jeans fit just right, not too tight, not too baggy

·          the smell of baked brie cooking in my oven

·          seeing the dogs go wild when they realize I’m home

·          getting home and whining about how I don’t have what I need to make dinner “we ain’t got no foil, we ain’t got not sour cream”and my husband shouting “are pet’s heads are falling off!”

·          movie references, especially Dumb and Dumber ones

·          words like delight, gosh I love that word right now (delight-ed, delight-full)

·          getting a new release from Redbox/Netflix…I feel like I won a prize, beating everyone else out for 1^st

·          special friends coming in town this weekend

·          when Aubrey says I’m her best, best, best friend

·          having options, though they stress me out to no end, I know I am fortunate

·          straws, they make everything taste better

·          Proverbs 15:13
