I MEAN IT

If you smile when no one
else is around, you really
mean it. 

~Andy Rooney



It's the little things....

~ The purfume smell that fills a room full of books

~ Pretty mushrooms

~ The distant sound of a tractor motor preparing fields

~ Making cookies for my guys and knowing they will love them

~A phone call from a grown baby just to say hello

~Wool and needles as I prepare for Valentines Day

~Wearing a pretty dress and feeling pretty

What made you smile today?

  1. In no particular order: snow, dribbly baby smiles, Cadburys, and finding a friend who has a matching set of some old crockery that my Mum needs to get rid off. :-)

  11. Today, I smiled knowing that my exercise program last night is having a small effect even though the muscles are a little tight, all the traffic lights are green driving to work, some old songs on the radio prompt my rare singing!

  16. What a beautiful mushroom. What made me smile today was this news feature on a San Jose school that has this program teaching high school students how to create programming for computer games. I thought it's about time to have something so positive and glowing on the news.

  18. I love that you "feel pretty." You darn well should because you ARE, inside and out. And you know what? I smile to myself a lot. And laugh even too.

    You are a pretty lady! But it's nice to FEEL it, I know what you mean :)
