SMILE DAY 40...

SMILE DAY 40....      Well today is the last of my 40 days of smiles, for lent. It has been a wonderful thing for me to do.  Too often I remember the negatives, throughout the day, instead of the positives. This was a great way for me to realize how blessed I am. I am lucky to have the life I have and to be loved, by the people who are in my life.  I saw joy in little things everyday, and I could have easily written more than one smile. I will continue on, my smiles , with my own gratitude journal, and posting once a week.  Smile it does a mind and soul good!

DAY 39...

SMILE DAY 39...                 It is nearing the end of the 40 days of lent. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus went to Jeruselum and palms were waved in his honor. Tonight I was getting ready for church, the 3 boys really did not want to go, but they were coming regardless what they wanted ( yes I can be mean). SO I am leaving to get into the car, and I see Mike.. I say "what are you doing? " and he says I am coming to church.." (mike does not come to church very much and i never really push him)... I was very happy, especially since the kids were being defiant. Even the kids asked him what he was doing. My smile is that he came with me, I know to support me in my cause... Thank you .. Smile!

SMILE DAY 37..

SMILE DAY 37... 

                                       Today I was subbing a grade three class. The whole afternoon was music and drama, not my favorite things to teach. Surprisingly, it was pretty fun. I had the children play a clapping, singing game, where they go around in a circle and try not to forget the actions or words. It gets faster and faster, and if you get it wrong you step out of the circle. Well these kids, loved it. Watching them sing and laugh , made me smile, and revel at the innocence of a child.

                                                       

SMILE DAY 36..

SMILE DAY 36...   My eldest boy is attending university, in Halifax, studying to be a mechanical engineer. That is enough to make me smile, but even more, is his grades. I always knew he was smart, but now that he is actually applying himself , he is really doing well. Today he called , to let me know, that his project paper , was the best , in his class. That the prof. asked him if he could keep it, to show as an example, for future classes. I am super proud of him he makes me smile!

However, we had a great time at Earls, ov rlooking the lake. My little neice, well not so little, she will be 14 soon, holds a special place , in my heart. She is a very free spirited , lovely girl. We laughed, and talked boy talk, and gave some good hugs! It definately made me SMILE!
