Simple things that have made you smile today :)
 
Sometimes it's the simplest of things that make us smile and be grateful for what we have. I tend to do a lot of moaning and veer towards the negatives in my life, trying to turn that around though!

So mine is...

My 4 year old daughter is currently 'cleaning' the windows. She's having great fun and getting soaked into the bargain. I'm chuckling as the sponge is going from washing the walls/patio and back up to the windows again - they're filthy! But she just said does that look good mum? Looks lovely darling, super job...

Guess what I'm going to be doing later :D

Feel free to add yours :)

Last night's breathtaking sunset.

My housesit cat's sudden desire and insistence upon sitting in my lap, and coating the computer and me in kitty fur. Meow!

I love this idea, thank you for posting it! :)

- Opening the windows this morning to feel and smell the fresh, cool summer morning air.
- Waking up to my kitty's nudge and excitement for her food.
- Watching the hummingbirds buzz around and sip from the hummingbird feeder.
- Reading this thread.

The look on the 90-pound phlebotomists face when I told her I frequently pass out when having my blood drawn. (I weigh 260). :)

my daughter coming home from a school trip to the beach, tousled and windblown, covered in sand and with a tan like mahogany.

You're welcome :) I'm just realising that lately I've been bogging myself down with the negatives, so I certainly need something like this!

My windows have dried... Haha!! Oh my word... struggling to see out of the parts that have been 'cleaned' It's all good :D

Reading Don't Wake The Bear Hare!

Not for myself... ;) I must say though, I do rather enjoy it!

It's cooled down a lot here so I'm going to spend the evening reading in the garden and appreciating the birds singing and the sunset.
