What makes me smile?
To hear DH laugh or see him smile brings one to my face and heart. Gavin and Patty playing or squabbling will make me grin. There’s talking to my Aunties and cousins, always a way to put a smile on my face.
Writing makes me smile. Reading a well-turned phrase makes me smile, and then causes me to gnash my teeth, jealous I didn’t write it. Hearing Lenny deliver a great line in Law and Order reruns—Geez, I miss that man’s talented deadpan delivery, may he rest in peace.
More things that make me smile are having a dear friend drop by to visit over coffee. All the fabulous friends I’ve made online.
My yearly writer’s conference—great friends, good food, good wine, a little bit of me time, and wonderful conversations.
Halloween.

What always makes me smile, is the sight of my terrier trotting along in front of me. He’s always happy, asks so little and gives so much!
Having my photos featured makes me smile……in fact, there’s more that makes me smile than makes me frown.
What makes me smile:
Dogs and cats at play or being ornery.
Playing my guitar or fiddle, dancing to International folk dance music, or CW swing, or square, etc.
A beautiful sunset, hiking in the mountains, visiting new places, and friends I’ve met online.
I need to smile right now. Excuse me while I go play my guitar…….
Having a passion makes me smile – it’s my year old passion for composing music.
Watching my cat Billy roll to follow the path of the sun on the floor without waking up makes me smile, as does a bright sunny day in winter.
Cleared off counter tops always get a warm smile.
And, especially my friends; email buddies, and local buddies make me smile.
I did a blog post about this a while back.
Today, it was my friend’s children, aged 3 and 2, who clutched my legs and wouldn’t let go until I tickled them into submission.
Just the fact that I wake up to another morning…everything else is a freebie!!
