The little things that make me smile ...
Sunsets - they are so magical
Christmas Tree. Christmas Lights and Diwali lights - such a happy time of year
Balloons - they're so cheerful and when they show up I know I'm on the right track.
Rainbows - I always think that's a sign from Heaven.
Watching my kids see their Birthday Cakes for the first time - the smile on their faces made me smile too.
Little kids - kids are so innocent and sweet. They look at the world in awe and wonder.
Playing board games with my kids - our favourite game is Trivial Pursuit - some of the questions make us giggle.
Watching "I Love Lucy" - guaranteed to lift us (as in my family) out of the doldrums
Watching the birds jostle for position in the bird feeder - the bird feeder itself makes us smile
Watching the beautiful peaceful hills around my house - always makes me happy
Music - food for the soul
Cute little dogs with coats - this really amuses me - don't know why.
Ice cream - never fails to please.
Landing in Mumbai and walking out of the airport - so great to see my cousins and other relatives
Landing back in Wellington - so good to be home and the view of Welly from the plane is just so spectacular.
And today the rugby sevens parade down Lambton Quay but a big smile on my face. But that's a post for another day.
So what are the things that make you smile?
Have a happy day.
Warm Regards
