How many of us make a list every day? We list our groceries, things to do, appointments to keep, phone calls to make, etc., etc.
Today I’m making a different list…a list of things that make me smile instantaneously…and here it is:
Birds in the birdbath and at the feeder
Squirrels chasing each other up and down trees and along high wires
A toddler toddling
A baby’s laugh
An elderly couple holding hands
An unexpected hug
Children at play
A good news phone call
The instant flash of a red cardinal
A robin’s plump red breast
That’s only ten but I could go on and on. The best part of making this kind of list is that it makes me smile all over again just thinking about these things.
What gives you a sudden smile? Do you have such a list?
I do not have such a list on my To Do list of lists that I need to make. But, I am going to add it to the top and start a new one each day. I think it will be a challenge and one that will cost me nothing but a smile 🙂 Thanks for giving me a much needed grin to start my morning! ~ Blessings ~
Thanks, Deborah Ann. I just added your comment to my list…it made me smile!😊
Looking for beauty and miracles every day brings joy to a challenging life.
