TODAY I SMILED...
~ The aroma of freshly heated french fries suddenly spreads through the office from a nearby desk, and it smells so terrific.
~ Giving Valencia a lift to the bus stop after work, she always has such quick energy!
~ After receiving a penny for change at the gas station I toss it on the ground outside. Yes, I know, it is littering, but then again someone might find it to be their 'lucky penny'.

Groovy Light, Soul Song, Post Surgery
TODAY I SMILED...
~ My lava lamp came in the mail! Much thanks goes to AT&T for the $100 Visa gift card I received for signing my laptop up with them. I used it, all on Amazon.com, to buy Coleman Booster Cables for my car, blue/silver lava lamp, Clinique Happy cologne, 'Ravensburger Emerald Paradise' 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose by Choquette (used book).
~ Walking out of dad's room I heard the prettiest church music being played a couple units down, it had a Gregorian Chant tempo sung with English words. Quite soothing to the ear.
~ At dad's 'day after cataract surgery' appointment, Dr. Kronenburg told us his eye is looking good. Which was quite a relief since he had taken his bandage off over night and missed quite a few eye drops.

Sleeping Smokie, Open Road, Successful Surgery
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Wondering where Smokie wandered off to, then turning around to see him laying on the back of the chair I was sitting in.
~ Driving Ford Road at 4:30 in the morning, no other traffic beside me and yellow flashing lights rather than red.
~ My dad's cataract surgery was a success, and he didn't need anesthetics.

Morning Cereal, March Marches In, Bamboo Beauty
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Opening the front door to get the morning paper and seeing a free sample of Banana Nut Cheerios delivered with it.
~ Seeing new pictures on my wall now that a new month has set in.
~ Erica, who sits in the work cubicle next to me, puts a healthy green bamboo plant on the window sill in front of us; this simple, beautiful, greenery livens up the atmosphere, contrasting off-white walls and gray computers

Lucky ticket, Seeing green, Getting out fast
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Winning $20 in today’s contest at work.
We work hard to earn our contest ticket by closing pledge promises, and only 10(out of 25)people could win one on Friday and one on Saturday. I won one on both days! Yep, I rock that much! Out of 20 tickets, only 7 won prizes. And I won a very cool $20! That means I can splurge for another bag of nacho cheese Doritos, jar of kosher spear dill pickles, and a good size bag of shelled almonds!
~ Seeing big patches of green grass throughout the city, now that this week-end's weather has melted so much snow.
~ Our percentage of closed calls today was so high, we were able to leave work 4 hours early.

Stare down,
TODAY I SMILED…
~ Watching Smokie and a squirrel check out each other nose-to-nose on opposite sides of the front window
~ A beautiful Cardinal, the ruby of the bird world, flies onto the porch railing while I look at the snow outside.
~ A 10:00 PM fire alarm at work breaks up the monotony and gets us all huddled up as a group outside

Boss Time, Day Off, Calender Girl
Today I Smiled...
~ Watching Bruce Springsteen, my favorite singer, perform Super Bowl's half-time show.
~ Chilling out on a day off work. Our department had today off, worked yesterday, so we wouldn't anger people at home over and over and over as they try to party and watch the big game.
~ Seeing Sara smile. She attended a birthday party for one of her best friends, Marissa, and left with a cute party gift -a 2009 little girl's wall calender.
My sister Carole and niece Sara
