Things that are making me smile today:

My two dopey dogs and their boundless energy. I love to watch them be so excited about everything ("A bug!!! Wow!!! Looks tasty...") It, oddly, makes me more excited about things.

The opportunity to earn a little bit of money working tonight to put toward our vacation next week.

Thinking about our vacation next week!

A (mostly) clean house

The thought of going to buy new running shoes tomorrow, I've been itching to run and I've shrunk out of mine. (To the point that they wear blisters)

Great thread, Rhonda. I needed this today.

Woo hoo! Go Mary! My hubby is in the same boat, trying to quit. It's tough, but you can do it!

My little thing for the day:
When I got to work today (I am a nanny), my 1y/o charge kept giving me kisses and hugs. He is typically not the lovey-dovey type. It was such a sweet, genuine thing coming from his little self. When I left for the day, he did it again. Made me smile the whole drive home.

I love this thread! My little things:
It's night-chorus season. Last night i opened my front windows and fell asleep listening to the bugs singing to each other.
Earliest morning sun washing across the heavily forested mountain on the other side of the ravine behind my house.
one of my favorite dogfriends brought her human pet to the gym this morning and we all fussed over each other.
Coffee!

No traffic back ups on the way to work.

Finding a dollar in my pants pocket.

The little thing that made me smile this morning was checking my email and finding this picture of my 16 month old grandaughter. She live in South Carolina and I'm way up here in Michigan.

Oh, I can't post the picture. It says it is too large and I don't know how to resize it. But trust me she is adorable. LOL
