Things that made me smile today!

Okay - today I smiled. Even though it was a really HARD day in MANY WAYS - I still smiled lots!
Like for instance - when my husband asked me if I was going to be cranky today (he asked with a big smile knowing that I was cranky because I am back "on plan" meaning that I am doing the Weight Watchers point thing combined with no white flour, white sugar way of eating! If I am cranky - it usually means I have had a good first and second day! It's tough getting back on the wagon to a healthier life style!

I smiled when while working on my sermon, I head the distinct cawing of a Blue Jay!

I smiled when I realized my sermon for this Sunday WOULD be within the 15 minute time allotment! phew! So much to say - so little time :)

I smiled when I saw some old photos - where Alvin had more hair, and I had big PERMED to the MAX i.e. burnt Hair! Maybe I will post one after all.

I smiled when I saw Ash wearing the DONALD DUCK HAT that she had to buy!!

I smiled when two of my little men friends Jack and Kieran, and their mom Tracy, came for a short visit - a hug or two and a trip to the candy shelf!

I smiled when I got an email from Ash with the cartoon, which I have posted at the top. You gotta know that we laugh as a family when I tell them about how my cousin used to always sing "put the paaaaaaa poose in the kickanoggan" (sorry Doris, I just had to - and by the way, that is what you sang right!!)
So today Ash sent me the cartoon, and we laughed. It was good - because these days have been much harder than I had thought they would be - much harder - in many ways.
But it's okay - God knows.

Laugh with someone today - it makes everything else pale - at least temporarily.
Love to you!!

PS - by the way, what WAS I thinking with the hair and the orange outfit...
And if you want another laugh - check out the fanny pack. Yep, I was in style. What was I thinking!
