20 Things That Make Me Smile

I was thinking the other morning about Bella singing in the car and found myself smiling from ear to ear.  Its the cutest thing ever.  That lead me to think about other things that make me smile so I decided to jot them down here to share my list with you.  Here are 20 things that make me smile in no particular order...

1.  I LOVE listening to Bella sing.   Belting out lyrics like she owns the place and has a crowd of 50,000 cheering her on.  In reality, its only me and her brother...her two biggest fans.

2.  Watching my children do their thing. 

3.  Pictures of my children.

4.  Sonic Dr. Pepper.  It could also be a Bucee's Dr. Pepper or a corner store Dr. Pepper so long as its a fountain drink in a Styrofoam cup with just the right amount of the "good" ice in it.  Key points here.

5.  Cool weather.  Thunderstorms. Snow.

6.  Scarves.  I get obsessed more and more every year.  You can never have enough in my book.

7.  Pumpkins, Fall colors, cool crisp air, picking pecans, football, crunchy leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving...just about anything Fall.  Its my favorite time of year. 

8.  Home cooked meal.

9.  Drinking coffee on the patio. 

10.  Soups.  Nothing like a good bowl of soup to make you feel better.

11.  Nice people.

12.  Sweet "nothing to gain" compliments.

13.  MilkDuds.

14.  Christmas music.

15.  A good book.

16.  Flowers.  Whether its a field of them, the ones growing in my yard, garden or flowerbed or an arrangement of sorts, flowers always make me smile.

17.  Accomplishments.  Big or small. 

18.  George Strait, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, John Stamos, Robert Redford, Sam Elliott, Gary Sinise, Matthew McConaughey, Mark Harmon, Patrick Dempsey to name a few. Basically sexy men.  :)

19.  Girlfriend time.  Its great therapy. 

20.  Hugs and snuggles from my children. 

I realize this list could technically be more than 20 things but who's really counting?  What makes you smile?
