Smiley Moments: 51 Simple Things

Posted on the 06 July 2012 by Courtyb34 @CourtyB34
I logged onto facebook this morning, and found pictures of my Uncle and new Aunt's wedding! I was smiling so big and I was giggling to myself. It was really cool to be apart of the wedding and it was fantastic to witness their wedding. I love being apart of the Biggs family and I wouldn't want it any other way! We are hopefully getting a disc or something of all the pictures because I was in some of the pictures, like the family pictures before the wedding, and I loved being a part of that! It was so special watching that event! That wonderful event! My Uncle Randy and my [now] Aunt Aimee are very special to me and they are wonderful people! Anyway, this inspired me to write about things that make me happy! Things that make me smile and things that make me proud. I was searching for something to blog about today, like surfing Pinterest and surfing other blogs and instagram to find something to blog about! Well I finally figured it out! And once I figured this blog post out, ideas just came rushing to me! So, now I have my work cut out for me today!
This blog post will be about the simple things that people forget sometimes. Not forget, but they don't include... little things in life that just occur or like special smells that remind you of someone or scenic things. The simplicity of smiles!
These are the things that make me smile or happy or put me in a fantastic good mood!The 50 simple things....************************1.) Clothes just out of the dryer! - I love it when they are thrown on the couch, and I jump onto the pile of warm clothes, and I just snuggle. It sounds like a kid thing... but I will always love that fresh warm feeling of clothes just out of the dryer! 2.) In the Winter, waking up to find snow on the ground! - Especially on a school day! Yes, that still makes me happy! 3.) Loud 'Feel Good' music! - I am not a party girl at all! But, when I am with friends, and I know the song, it's fun to jump around to it and sing along with it. I love when the music is loud and I am care free and focused on having fun. I know... it sounds like something a party girl would say, but I am not a party girl! I just love that feeling... don't know how else to describe it. But I love it!4.) When my kitty, Punky snuggles up to me. - That is a great feeling! When he rubs his head against my arm and he is being lovy dovy. I love that! And also when he is doing something crazy!Such as: sleeping like this...Smiley Moments: 51 Simple Things5.)  Cupcakes!

Just breathing every day makes me happy and being around people who love me. I am thankful for a lot of things and sometimes, I don't act like I am thankful, but really I am. My parents and everybody knows it. Lots of things put a smile on my face. On Christmas Day, I was analyzing and thinking about some things, and yeah I was happy about my gifts, but they don't really matter. I was more excited about spending time with my family and hanging out with them. Eating really good food and just talking with them. Number fifty of the things that make me happy is up in the air, number fifty is all of the above and more!Of course there are lots more things that make me happy or proud, but these are the simple things. They are fabulous simple things and I love everything about them!Let's make life beautiful! Ok... I had to add one...51.) Clouds- I love clouds! Cloud pictures, cloud designs!
