13 Things That Make Me Smile

Since last week I think I may have scared a few people into thinking I’m always stressed out, here are some things that make me happy.
  1. My son Jackson’s squeals of delight when I pick him up from school (Okay – about a million things about my son Jackson make me smile, laugh, cry, etc. But that would be a very long list.)
  2. Really good ice cream – throw in a warm brownie and things are really looking good
  3. Cuddling up to watch one of my favorite TV shows
  4. Movie dates with my husband
  5. Eating fish and chips at the beach with my husband and son
  6. Julia laughing and showing off all her little baby teeth
  7. Taking a good photograph
  8. Completing a scrapbook page
  9. Getting comments on my posts
  10. Those moments when you just feel God had you in the right place, at the right time and you actually listened to what you were supposed to do.
  11. Writing (on the good days, when it works)
  12. Blogging buddies
  13. My family – all of them – my hubby Phil, my son Jackson, my Mom, my twin sister Susan, my niece Julia, and my other nieces and nephews…

  14. Except that I’m not a fish person, I totally agree with your whole list! I love writing when it flows, otherwise, it’s just worse than a trip to the dentist.

    My TT is up, too.

  24. That’s a very lovely, happy list.

    I scrapbook too (even run an online store), but I’ve not done a page in a very long time. Hope to do some this summer, maybe we can share!

    Have a great day.

  28. Those things are good… ice cream, chocolate brownie, photographing. You could even do a TT on things your son does that make you smile/laugh/cry.

    Thanks for visiting!

    Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
