I started participating
in the Weekly Smile Blog two weeks ago. The purpose is to share a story, a
photo, or something that has brought a smile to your face the last week. Easy
enough, right?
This Blog Challenge is
hosted by Trent's World (The Blog). Here's the skinny
on the dos and don'ts of it.
About:
Come on, I’m sure you
smiled at least once last week. Why don’t you share it? I hope
you can join in!
Here is a list of “rules” and guiding ideas.
If you don’t have time to read it right now, just remember that this is an
exercise to spread positivity. Don’t smile about the misfortune of
others. Don’t smile in a way to excludes others. Make sure a
12-year-old can read it.
To join in, write a post
to share your smile and then leave a comment on this post with a link to your
smile. Or, if you prefer, do a pingback to this post (pingback = have a
link from your post to this one) (Note – pingbacks have been very
inconsistent – please leave a comment 
). You
can post any time until next Sunday evening (to be simple, I will say midnight
GMT, which is 7 PM Sunday for me).
Next week I will compile
all the Smiles and do a separate post of them on Monday morning just before the
smile. (I will shoot for around 7 AM EST).
*******************************
I don't know about you,
but I find it hard at times trying to pinpoint just one thing that brings a
smile to my face. This last week was no different.
I recall my 10-month-old
grandson bringing smiles to my face every time I saw him or seeing the geese
fly by our house on the way to the nearby pond. Seeing Bluejays in our backyard
and across the street in the trees also brings smiles to my face. We have
several of them living in the trees behind our house.
Something else that
brought a smile to my face was when my son-in-law came walking into our house
over the weekend with temperatures in the low 30's, he had on shoes with no
socks, shorts, and a jacket. As he walked through the door he said, 'man it's
cold out there'. LOL -- yes, and you are in shorts! We all chuckled...
Tonight, while my
daughter and her little family were at our house, she was sitting on the floor
up by the wall so she could play with my grandson. He was standing by me near
the couch. He turned around and took three small steps towards her. It won't be
long until his little feet will be taking him all over our houses. I keep
telling her are you sure you want him to walk now? Once he does, get your
running shoes on. I'm reminded of that song with the lyric that says, "put
one foot in front of the other...then you will be walking out the door".
Hold on momma, he will be grown up before you know it! :-) Where does the time
go?
Until next week, watch
for those moments in life that bring smiles to your face, and remember, always
share a smile with someone! Just never know...you may be the only smile they
see.
