We all need to remember to stop and smell the roses sometimes. Here are a few things that recently made me stop and smile:
- Seeing my dogs sporting their new home-done haircuts, lopsided ears and all.
- Multi-colored leaves blowing against a blue sky on a breezy day.
- Being chilly in the car and not understanding why until I finally realized my heating vents were closed. (Of course my hubby’s were wide open and he was quite fine.)
- Trying to take a self-portrait with my digital camera and accidentally cutting off my head.
- Going to NBC’s web site for The Office. Watching deleted scenes and reading Dwight’s blog. I love that show!
- Seeing a random baby smile at me while I was grocery shopping.
- My dog having a stare-down with me because she is hungry and wants her dinner NOW!
- Finding this cool web site to make your own motivational pictures. This is too fun!
- Seeing the waxing moon shining brightly through the branches of a leafless tree.
- Buying Halloween colored M&Ms!
What made you smile today?

I love the picture! It warms my heart. I sent some of the pictures of dogs in Halloween costumes to my daughter. She and her in-laws dress her two dogs for Halloween, so she’ll share the pictures with them.
I just made this comment at Gretchen Rubin’s the Happiness Project:
“If you haven’t found them yet, you might look at http://brightdays.wordpress.com/ and http://funspirit.blogspot.com/ . Shirley is doing a wonderful job finding items to lift our spirits and warm our hearts.”
Keep up the great work!
We just got the first season on The Office on DVD from Netflix. Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard! I especially liked “Diversity Day.”
