Things That Made Me Smile Today

1.  A public shoutout on Facebook from my hip-hop teacher. She thanked me for keeping it real during her class the night before. LOVE HER!

2.  Seeing, talking and jogging with my runnning partner before the sun was up. I haven't seen her since December 17th so we had a lot of catching up to do.

3.  Smelling and kissing my son's cheek to wake him up for school. It is definitely my favorite smell in the world. My heart skips a beat every morning.

4.  A cup of hot coffee with vanilla creamer. I love my family but coffee alone makes me rise out of bed.

5.  A hot bath with lavendar epsom salts to relieve my sore muscles from running and hip-hop.

6.  A trip to my hairdresser and friend, Terri. There is nothing like good conversation, a new magazine while I'm under the dryer and a professional blowout.

7.  Menchie's Frozen Yogurt...a mixture of caramel and coffee yogurt with granola, walnuts, yogurt chips and fresh strawberries. YUM!

8.  Striking many things off my "to do" list. So satisfying!

9.  Being able to greet my son as he walks in the door from school and hearing about his day. I don't take this for granted because only a few years ago I worked full time as a teacher where everyone else's child received the best of me and my own child got the leftovers.

10. Finding a credit card on the ground outside a local store and tracking down the owner.

11.  Taking my dog to the local pet store where I gave him a bath with awesome products, a raised shower stall and a blow dryer. I didn't kill my back and I didn't have to scour my bathroom afterwards. Side note:  Finn, my chocolate Lab, lifted his leg which resulted in a yellow puddle on the floor and a yellow spray on the owner's sofa. Whoops!

12.  A cold Corona Light with a juicy lime. Enough said!

13.  A message on Facebook from a friend I haven't seen in 18 years. When I read his message, I realized he was still the same funny, sweet, rowdy person he used to be.

14.  Slipping into my cozy Boyfriend Pants (Victoria's Secret) and bedroom slippers on this dreary, cold day.

15. Writing a post on my blog. This is addictive!!!!!

(Another list...Red would love this.)
