Eleven Things to Make You Smile

I mentioned that I was waiting for some rain to show up. Some of it did, thank goodness, and the water tank is full for the first time in a year. Buying water is one of my least favourite things, so glad to not be doing that now.

Today, I’m going to keep it short, and give you another list of things to make you smile, since I had such a lovely response last time, when I published Sometimes a Smile is Enough. So, here you go. Eleven things to make you smile:

A drone flying over the ocean happens to get a perfect shot of a breaching whale.
A video about Why You Don’t Want Super Strength, from a YouTube channel called Because Science. Warning: science (but handle-able).
A picture of a smiling baby giraffe.
A picture of a smiling baby human.
A picture of a smiling baby rhino sitting across his mother’s face.
That song from the Gregory Brothers where they songified the Charlie Sheen “Winning” interview. 61+ million views later, it still holds up.
Go have a cup of herb tea. Sit quietly by yourself and just drink the cup of tea with no distractions (screens, books, etc.).
This one’s for Americans: you know what the secret is to singing the American national anthem? Start it as low as possible for your singing voice. That makes the high bits easier later on. Try it. It works. Don’t be like Roseanne Barr.
Turn. Off. The. News. Now leave it off for a week. If that doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will.
My list of cool things from 2017.
A video of a baby laughing hysterically at ripping paper.
