I smile when...
« on: March 15, 2010, 05:58:01 PM »
...a friend sends me a letter in the mail.
...I blow bubbles with a 2 yr old.
...a 5 yr old friend tries to stand on his/her head.
...I see tulips.
...I think about cabins in the woods.
...I see snow.

Your turn! :)

i see my angelbabies playing and anna suddenly stops, look at the sunset and in awe says, "thanks, God!" 

arthur says, "i don't know" as his answer to every question.

mavrik tells me he is going to be michael jordan AND a rocket scientist. 

when i hear from my students how well they are doing and how much they have learned. 

when i hear a choir lead by my son or a song sung with his voice.

when i see my daughter-in-law smiling at my son.

...when I hear a two-year old beginning to use all three syllables of my name.  :cloud9:
...when I get a random text message from an old friend
...when two little girls come running to :attackhug: me as soon as they see me at church
...when I get a snuggle from my favorite little man
...when a preteen who has a fast-growing aversion to hugs puts his head on my shoulder for just a moment
...when it is raining and I have a day off during the week and a good book and a clean house (just threw that in, just in case it ever happens.  It WILL make me smile)

...when Sean tells me he will never be too big for hug-tights.
...when Jason tells me he loves me.
...when I get a hug from all three members of The Three Ringo Circus at once. (I'm looking forward to the next one of those more than I could ever say.)
...when my kiddos at church sing the Easter song with loads of enthusiasm, and big smiles on their faces.
...when I hear certain lovely phrases coming over the sound waves through my phone.
...when God sends me a hug in surprising and unusual way.

This thread reminds me of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dge5756u5zY

I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile!

I smile when I make a special balloon animal for someone and they say "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"  :cloud9:

I smile when it is 5:00 (I know; it's not a good thing to be smiling as big as I do at 5:00, but I do).

Yup.

I smile when,

:i remember the days growng up around my grandmother.

:i get a good paycheck and the bills are covered.

:i awake to the usual sight of my wife next to me.

:i hear michle kombs song "One Blessed Man." [i can relate to that]

:i look back on August, 30 2009, as well as June, 10 2007, or even sometimes July,1 of any year since 1968.

*Hugs* Chel... 'cause I know all about being glad you're one day closer to something.

(I know, I know, I'm hugging in the smile thread... but I was smiling too, so it's not really pinkwinking - right?) ;)

I never smile - my teeth are too small and any smile I try looks phoney.  Saves wear and tear on the face muscles!

Taco: I smiled when I thought about '57 Chevys cruising golden streets.  lol
God knows that I've had enough car trouble in my life that I do NOT want to have any in heaven, though!

Scott: It takes less muscles to smile.  Try it.

scott, you shouldn't lie like that.  i have personally seen you smile - and more than once.  so . . . yeah.  so much for NOT being someone who smiles. 

you're so funny. 

i smile when i hear annababy say, "holy guacamole!"
