Thankful Thoughts for the Holidays: Smiles

First, I want to make sure that if you know of a soldier that would enjoy receiving a care package this holiday season, please visit this post and let me know.

You know, I am really enjoying writing one of these posts a day. I like that I have to take the time to be thankful for something. Sometimes it is so easy to get wrapped up in the negative and forget to look for even the smallest thing to be glad for.

Today's "Thankful Thoughts" goes to first smiles! The picture happens to be of my little girl doing the funniest little smile, but it melts my heart. She does this face now everytime I pick up the camera. It is things like this that I am thankful for. I remember the first time my little boy started smiling and the warm, fuzzy feeling I got.

How about the first time you met your husband/significant other and he smiled at you. There is nothing like getting the butterflies in your tummy because you are so in love or lust! LOL. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to that moment everytime you looked at each other.

I love the smile of a stranger, saying hello. The smile of an old friend that comforts you in some way. There is just something so nice about a warm, inviting smile to make your day. Today while you are out and about or even at home, remember to smile. It will not only make your day better, but someone else's too. Make the world a nicer place, SMILE!!

If you don't feel like smiling, just come back and look at this picture again. That look is too goofy not to make you laugh!! :)
