2019 Things that make me smile

It’s snowing again... looking out onto my deck, full of snow - almost looks like a big pillow, made me smile.

Happy birthday Tony!  Smart, curious, inquisitive, kind and just fun kid to be around! I smile every time I am with him. Love this kid!

Stayed up til 2 this morning to watch Ben play in the USA vs Slovakia.  While they lost, Ben scored a goal - that made me smile.

Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise) Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew) Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two The Candy Man (the Candy Man) Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can) The Candy Man can 'Cause he mixes it with love And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good) Great show made me smile.

While Ben has been playing in the Winter Universiade Games in Siberia, the first two games were not streamed. I was so happy when I heard they were streaming the USA vs. Russia hockey game today. Up at 6 am, I got to watch him do something he loves, play hockey.  While they didn't win, his text of "fun game" later in the  morning made me smile. #proudauntie

We have gotten record breaking snow this past February.  Today as I left my home, it made me smile thinking I am not the one who has to shovel the snow in my yard.

Over the past two days, I have had the opportunity to watch Emma play basketball in the fifth grade state basketball tourney. While they lost all of their games, it was fun watching Emma play a game she enjoys playing - and that made me smile.

Ben is playing hockey in the 2019 Winter Universiade Games.  It is an awesome experience for him including participating in the Opening Ceremonies.  While I didn't get to see him on the stream, it was great to watch a fun opening including an awesome lighting of the torch.  Watching this and texting with Ben during it made me smile today.

  Nothing makes me smile more than to see students doing things they love. Tonight the smiles after the program said it all - the cast and crew did an awesome job!

Doctor ✔️ Car✔️ Hair ✔️ Three appointments in one day made me smile.
