Today's List is going to be tough since I have had more negative than positive but I will try hard.
1. Leah's pure joy and giggles over watching the cat play.
2. A sleeping baby or rather one yr. old on me for a nap.
3. This one shouldn't have caused a smile or happiness but did... Ella getting upset and almost crying when she got beat by the computer in sword fighting on the wii.
4. Cleaning the toilets and mopping the bathroom floor. It is a stretch but it did cause some happiness and self satisfaction cause it looked a whole lot better after I was done!
5. The fact that my shorts are feeling loose, at least looser than last summer.
I have realized from doing this that I really need a life. A life that is more than sitting in my house day after day wondering what it is my life is. I need to find some meaning, something that gives me something to look forward to and something that gives ME happiness besides my kids. What that is, I have no idea and I have no idea how to find it.
You learn fast young grasshopper. It is not good to have all of your smile eggs in one basket. BUT only a depressed person can find a way to make their smiles depressing. So try not to focus on what color your smile eggs are painted. Just be happy that you have them. Over time you will find happiness in places you did not see before. Try to stay in the day...sometimes looking at the big picture can overwhelm you. Something different about your smiles on this list is that two of them have to do with YOU and things YOU have done for YOU.
