1.) 10 Things to Smile About (inspired by Things I Can’t Say)
Sometimes I get so annoyed with the terrible news that gets sensationalized everyday. I wonder how engaging in those kinds of articles ages us. Sometimes it’s nice to refocus on the GOOD things happening in our lives, which is why I loved this prompt to highlight things we have to smile about. Here’s my list!:
1. You’re not living in a van down by the river.
2. You don’t get picked on because you’re too good looking.
3. You can dance!
4. You get to wake up to coffee every morning.
5. You have a good friend.
6. Fall is coming.
7. Hawaii is waiting for you…someday.
8. You don’t have to participate in a Real Housewives reunion.
9. You don’t have to clean up this mess…
10. Somebody loves you…or at the very least you can watch a great movie about what that love might feel like.
Now it’s your turn!

LOL, you brought a smile to my face with your 10 Things. We both are grinning ear to ear of though that fall is coming! Thanks for allowing me play with you guys this week.
Joe says
How old was that kid? He smiled so well. WE took Kody, 14 mohtns now, for pictures twice. The first time I ended up buying none because they only got two. And the next they got six or so but they still stunk, but I surcame and bought a couple, feeling just so so about it. He smiles all the time, but is not a fan of strangers. I am envious of your skills and wish you were close by to capture his playfulness.

Yay fall!! Sometimes I feel like all I do is clean up messes but for sure they aren’t as bad as that mess. Books, hot wheels, legos and laundry doesn’t seem so bad now! :) Love your list!
