I wish I could post my pics... darn. Things that make me smile - my two daughters, and my big dog Diego. He is the master of expressions with his droopy eyes, big droopy ears, big smile. Sometimes it's just the way he sleeps, or how he snuggles right up to me in bed and puts his big head on my chest. He kept that puppy smell and he's so soft. Every time he hears the fire engines scream by - he howls with them. If he's barking and I tell him to hush - he'll complain under his breath. It is hilarious. And when both my dogs play - well, there's a floor show here everyday.
With my girls all growed up and hardly home anymore - my two dogs are my heart's content. My cat Beaster, who has cancer but is flourishing, snuggles up with me at night and we hold paws. He'll reach out his paw so I can hold it. Then there's Doodles, my daughter's black neurotic cat, who acts like a June Bug at the deck door when he wants in. Oh - my fish Princess Suishi who sleeps in her castle in an upright position. Hugs - hugs are always reasons to smile.
THen there's the weather. Summer rains to dance in (really), and breezes to appreciate, cloud formations, the sound of the leaves on trees and even chillin with a cold diet coke. Hanging laundry on the line and watching it sway in the breeze .......Hey! - YOU started me on the little things. I LOVE the little things in life. Those are the things that fuel my spirit and I could go on and on. Yeppers. I'll stop here though - for your eyes' sake.
Mimilly (of the appreciative of the small things class) Cos it's the little things that make me smile. (edited to add that last part)
