What's making you smile right now?

I'm just grinning watching dh as he sits watching one of his documentaries & he's rubbing the neck of our cat who hopped in his lap. He's never been much of a cat person (don't remember him ever petting our last cat unless told to) but before we got this cat I asked him to be more affectionate towards it and told him how comforting they are if you just relax & pet them. Well there he sits and it's such a nice scene. 10 minutes later & they are both just sitting all happy and content, lol. Life is good, happy happy .

Watching my Rottie in front of the fan while his ears are blowing back. Poor thing is so hot but he's blocking all the cool air!

~Feeling the air cooling off outside as I sit by an open window drinking root beer over lots of ice. What a treat! ~

Watching Dubya write out a list of movies we want to see.

And the smell of my dish soap.

My friend Margie who came over and helped me clean my kitchen it was horrible from being hurt all week. my furbabies are all romping and playing. A glass of red wine on the patio and clean sheets. It doesn't take a lot to make me happy.

I can tell you what's NOT making me smile...the weather....57 degrees and raining....

As for what is.... one of my friends just stopped by with her son who is working in my yard (when the sun DOES shine) and her daughter. Both kids are over 40..they are with their mom and heading out to a casino. Their stepdad died about 4 months ago. I'm smiling because she instilled the importance of family in them...they are wonderful to her.

My kids wanting to help me get things back in order after a long week.
Knowing that I am going to suprise them with a trip to the amusement park later.
Watching them smile and have fun.
A good conversation with a friend this morning.

Awesome thread!

Watching my kids play at the water park. Going from timid to confident on the water slides!

Being home from the hospital
knowing DH's surgery was successful with no complications
knowing he's recovering well so far
knowing his chances of the surgery staying effective over time is high

I spent half the weekend making my first-ever sourdough bread (from a starter I had started 2 weeks before) and I enjoyed the whole process, even the parts I messed up. I learned so much and will try again soon.

By Sunday evening, I looked back on my weekend and felt so satisfied that I had spent my time on something stress-relieving, productive, simple, frugal, positive, and with a tangible end result (the bread tasted truly great, but the shape and texture need some work).

I rearranged our "study" (actually a bedroom with bookcases and computer) yesterday. Every time I walk in I am happy with how it looks(pretty) and how it functions (more user-friendly and convenient).
