I’m generally a very cheerful person. I believe in smiles. I remember reading about a study of depressed people who were told to stand in front of a mirror every day and smile at themselves. And weirdly (or maybe not!) their depression improved. I get that. I smile at myself, too. I tell the kids a smile can be a choice. I love finding reasons to smile.
So, here’s a little list of 10 things that make me smile, listed in no particular order. Finding the emojis to correspond with them was so much fun! See? I’m already smiling.

First morning coffee with my dd.

Floating in my pool.

Making a Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.

Holding the little one’s hand.

Painting flowers.

Writing an action scene.

Watching the sun set on the ocean.

Fresh flowers in a vase.

A small square of dark chocolate after dinner.

Reading a good book with a kitty on my lap.
You know what’s coming next!
