five on friday - making me smile


 Five Things to Smile About

It's been a crazy-busy week at work, but as I take a moment to catch my breath, I realize that I managed to smile through most of it. Here is what's been making me smile.




1) Christmas wreaths on a beautifully ornate church door - I was out during lunch with big hopes for completing this week's Scavenger Hunt. Yeah, that's not happening - again...
But - this walk was a nice break, and definitely something to smile about.

2) Smiles - I had the pleasure of meeting with some really nice people. Their smiles make work so much nicer.

3) Christmas candy - Okay, so maybe it's a bit early to be smiling about this. I decided to get a jump on stocking stuffers, but then I also got a jump on eating them.
Oooops

4) Sunshine - enough said.

5) Packages - I'm not a big fan of shopping, so I order most things online. Each package that arrives (and isn't stolen from my doorstep) makes me smile.

So what has you smiling this week?

Thanks for dropping in!

  1. Smiles are infectious aren't they? A smile goes such a long way. If I can finally get some snow in these parts I will be smiling non-stop :) :)

  6. The door wreath is a beauty. That's an idea for this weekend...a walk round town and some door photos.

  8. Like you, the Christmas season has me smiling. I love the wreaths, the trees, the lights ... you name it. And even though I know what's coming, I always feel a sense of anticipation when the UPS or FedEx trucks come to our house!
