The little things in life that make you smile

While dealing with the drudgery of having a chronic illness and other illnesses as some of us have here, sometimes it is hard to remember to smile.  The day to day of drugs, dealing with symptoms and just dealing period makes it tough!

On my way to and from work I pass a farm where the farmer plants sunflowers every other year.  It is a sea of yellow as far as the eye can see.  The landscape changes as the day goes on.  In the am it is very serene.  In the evenings there are cars lined up on the road.  There are families sitting along the edge of the flowers with children running along them, people taking pictures and others just standing there staring  in awe at the beauty.  It is truly spectacular.  

One cannot help but smile as you drive past.  It is things like this that make you remember that life is short and sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses or in this case stop and look at the SUNFLOWERS!

I have uploaded pictures but they just do not do it justice.  I wish all of you lived here so you could see is the beauty that I get to look at every day.

Have a wonderful day all!

Giggling too...Do not forget to giggle...

I love to giggle and I have just the girlfriend that makes me do that...

Giggles and smiles...If only the world were made of them LOL.

We would be so much better off.

Spontaneous smiling at least once a day is essential! More often than not for me it's something one or both of my cats have done. Yesterday's smile was generated by Franklin. As I sat on the couch, slightly reclined, he leaped on to my chest and started head butting me :-)
