Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Family from out of town visiting
Warm October days

Good music stuck in my head
Unexpected gifts
Post season baseball (but I am still mourning my Cardinals not making it to the World Series Turning in early

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Cutting my fingernails when they get too long to type properly
Working my day job from home on occasion
When a sick loved one leaves the hospital for home
A bright room after replacing a burned out light bulb
The funny feeling when I have a hole in the toe of my sock but am too stubborn to take the socks off because they are already on my feet for the day
A pleasant surprise in restaurant food portion size
The silly words of sleep talking
Remembering that thing I forgot to say BEFORE I end the conversation in which I meant to say it
Hearing childhood stories of a loved one that I hadn't heard until now
Sitting on the deck

10 Things That Make Me Smile
The blogger app on my phone
Cool June days
Dill pickles
Finished projects
The thought of one day finishing a very long term project
More than a good night's sleep
Finding a quarter on the sidewalk
My office, with newly rearranged furniture
Getting pictures hung
Calm

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Warm Fall days
Singing
A schedule that works out
Harmony
As Seen on TV products that always seem too good to be true
Leaves falling from trees
Surprises
Seeing someone else rejoice
Time without hearing or seeing my cell phone

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Lazy Sundays, even when I should be doing other things
Finding objects I have been looking for. I recently found a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of conditioner, a bottle of spray gel, and a stick of deodorant. They were new, and I had been looking for them for months.
A good camera shot
Making up hours at work and then relaxing afterward
Using a coffee pot that we had previously laid to rest and thought would be buried
Funny commercials
The changing landscape with the changing of seasons
Finding more checks when I thought I was on my last book
Hearing that someone I know found a job
The moment a muscle cramp ends

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Cardinals post-season baseball
Sizzling food being cooked
85 degree weather in mid October
Butterflies
Seeing the fall colors on my afternoon walk
Looking forward to a motivational conference that I'll be able to attend tomorrow
Finding the error in my checkbook register
Having a bad hair day and getting to blame it on the breezy day
Playing with my new camera
The glistening off of water

When meds kick in

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Not having to dip feathers into ink in order to be able to write
Remembering that there are things I can do that one day I may not be able to do
The scent of gunpowder after fireworks explode
Friendship
Severing ties to people who behave routinely in negative ways
Playing favorites. My hubby is my favorite for sure :-)
The shiver after eating unsweetened grapefruit
Wondering what a handwriting expert would say about my script
Hot air balloons
Finger puppets

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Finally getting sleep
Knowing I can relax soon, that things are about to fall into place
Huge sunsets in the American West
Hilly, vast sets of trees in TN
Tender loving care
A 3 day weekend
Knowing a family member is ok after surgery
Accepting the fact that I can do my best and not an ounce more
Snails
A quiet walk

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Knowing my friends have had safe travels
Good jelly beans around Easter
Lazy Sundays
Fantasizing that all my laundry for the weekend is already done
The red stapler in the movie Office Space
The $3 car wash
Paper airplanes
Animal Planet
Fire fighters
An efficient mail system. I know the word efficient is a relative term, but compared to other countries, we have a great mail system in the US.

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Working out with the trainer at the gym
Gingerbread men
Drawing my own cartoons
The first gulp of water when I'm really thirsty
Skeleton keys
Colored paper
Mannequins with goofy expressions
Origami (I don't make it, but just to look at it that other people have done)
Pepper jack cheese
Remembering Jolt pop/soda

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Heart to heart talks and knowing the person on the other end will just accept what I've said rather than walking away or blanching at me
Authenticity
Goofy people
The moment feedback near speakers ends
Finding out yesterday my neighbors had a fire and that it wasn't a bad fire (and didn't spread to our place--I live in a townhouse)
Helping others learn how to do things
Creativity in all forms, even if it's just for my own amusement
Randomness
Curly haired people. Gotta have solidarity somehow.
Sand dollars

Ten Things That Make Me Smile
Learning that I had totally and in every way misjudged why somebody was doing something that annoyed the crap out of me today. Totally my bad.
The moment right before I use up a brand new ball point pen because I've been writing letters for the past week with the same pen.
Raisin Nut Bran cereal
The singer in a group who is completely tone deaf
Cross stitches that it seems like half the US populate has or their mother has hanging somewhere in the house.
Gift giving over the Internet
A good set of tweezers
My very understanding boss
Not falling asleep behind the wheel today
My asthma inhaler
