Weekly Smile #WeeklySmile

A lot has happened in the last week.  There has been a lot to smile about.  I’ve been very busy, yet still have taken some time to stop and smell the, well, this time of year it would have to be daffodils.  So I can’t really pick one big thing to smile about, I’m going to choose all of the little things.

The little things – they happen every day and mostly go by with little notice.  The car that let someone in when they didn’t have to.  A genuine smile from the grocery clerk as she rings your order.  First thing Monday morning, the big “Good morning!” from a worker painting a door in the basement at work.  Friendly chats with coworkers.  Having a face to face meeting with people you talk to on the phone all of the time but have never previously seen in person.  Good words from coworkers, customers, etc. about the job your doing.  Talking to your parents and other family members.  Talking to friends.  Texting and on-line chatting with friends.  Nice weather.  Flowers.  Having a kitten snuggled against you all night or a cat in your lap as you type on the computer.  The friendly wag of a dog’s tail, or the wild swinging of a Boxer’s butt (making up for lack of tail).  Good food.  Walks on the beach or in the woods.  Friendly customer service.  Kayaking, making it the 4th month in a row to be on the water.  And so much more to smile about!  I woke up this morning!  On on this side of the ground!  Things to smile about.

That above paragraph was my life over the last week.  Some bad things happen, and I’ve already complained about them, but so much more good happened.  Most of them were little things.  Little things mean a lot.

Life is made up of many little moments.  On the whole most are pretty good, even if we are in a bad situation.  Sure, from a cosmic view, the moments are neither good nor bad but what we make of them.  I choose to focus on the good side.  And I smile.

That was my smile this week: The Little Things.  What was yours?
