The pictures in my mind such as sitting on the back of our boat, feet dangling in the water, sun sparkling across the waves while shinning from that big bright blue sky. Sunrises, sunsets, the stillness of a tree in midst of a field. The stars, especially the times I sat in hammock on the back porch with my kids, again I smile .
Lets not forget the day they were born. My little girl took a very long time and that's why I now say, she is still on her own time. I didn't realize what really real love was till I held her, so much happiness. I feel at times my heart beats because of her. Looking at her I smile.
The day my son was born was a wonderful day, I can say I actually didn't mind it so bad, but the moment that's the most amazing was as soon as the Dr. Handed him to me , everyone left the room, oh my goodness, we bonded. His first few min of life was in my arms just him and I , no one interrupted , this was the best day, I smile just thinking of it.
The first time I saw the ocean, I was in awe of such a amazing scene. If you haven't ever seen the ocean you need to, and no one can really describe it to you. The breeze and scent while sitting on the sand is so peaceful, this makes me smile.
Listening to music and dancing without worrying about anyone watching, or laying in the hammock with music checking out the sky. Did I mention music?, temptations, Al green, Bee Gees, oldies but goodies, journey to Kid Rock, to Blake Shelton most all country, these folks make me smile. Front porch sitting with a good glass of sweet tea, yep this makes me smile. Great movies, great pictures, pretty flowers in my own flower bed. My kids hugging me just because or 4- wheeler riding with my hubby and son, especially when my son gets stuck :)
All these things I'm sure a lot of people enjoy, it's part of our blessings I think. I love reading a good book, even going to the book store and searching for that special book, just opening the door and the smell of books, I smile. One of those conversations where you laugh and cry with a good friend, and it was the friend that called you.
Minions and Olaf, funny cartoons or some practical jokes make me smile. Watering cans especially if they look old are so pretty. Teddy bears and a great pair of socks. My soft pillow that's fluffed just right, with the new down blanket, yep smiling.
I love Branson, eating at the little restaurants like uptown, getting ice cream from Andy's or oh my goodness, when the red light comes on at Krispy cream, yummo! The landing, just walking through, just being there. I don't know why shopping is better there but it just is. Mel's diner, I could sit there all day and let them sing to me, after having that huge hamburger and fries.
In my house the smell of me cooking with onions and peppers , or homemade biscuits and gravy. Oh yeah the smell of bacon .
I'm so glad that God has given me all these things to enjoy and so much more. I like our church service and especially when our choir sings, such a blessing and this make me smile.
A complement from someone you know means it. When my house is clean on a spring morning with the windows opened. My wind chimes blowing in the breeze, even a good thunderstorm.
Walking our trails by the creek, the sound of the water is so nice flowing over the rocks, just breathe it in.
I like to write even when I don't make since, I'm even ok with being random. In the beginning I talked about both wonderful and awful , not gonna do awful. I think all these things are beautiful. You could go to the most elaborate place and it would not be any more beautiful then all these things that make me smile.
I wish to do and see so much, in my Pinterest I have places I want to see, all those bucket lists that are great, but if I never do I know I had beauty in my life with just the great big simple things:)
