Everyone smiles for different reasons.

Sometimes it’s something silly, a joke, a picture, a puppy, a kitten, a fuzzy animal, a blue sky, the sun after a rainy, cloudy, cold day.It’s the first moment you see the sand and smell the ocean.

It’s the first time you see your new child, grandchild, friend’s child, grandparent, your parents after a long time away from home, your baby sister, your big brother.

For my friend MM, it’s his tarantulas and his rifle collection, for SDL, it’s watching Miss A excel at something new or a snuggle, for CKM, it’s time with her mom, for KWH it’s baby J. I have so many friends with so many joys and reasons to smile. For  my sister, it’s her family, for my dad, it’s all of us, for LaLa, it’s her grandkids, for TS, it’s her daughter, for PSM, it’s his puppy and his motorcycle and, if I may be so bold, me.

For me, there are so many things that make me smile, the list is too grand to mention! But if asked, it’s my sister and her family, dad, LaLa, my furry babies and all of my nieces and nephews, both related through family and “borrowed’, my grandbabies, oh so much more. There is one other special thing. Tonight, someone saw my face after PSM left the hotel after we had dinner and she said “He makes you smile”. Now you know…

Everyone smiles for different reasons. What’s yours?
