I'm smiling as I read what has made all of you smile.

I smiled ear to ear this morning while witnessing the Philadelphia Marathon as a spectator. My heart was so full of joy I even teared up. So many nationalities joining together in such a healthy way. People standing on the side cheering and calling names as runners went by. Some runners bulged with muscles, while others had cellulite just like mine. So many boomers. So many women boomers. Saw a man juggling, a woman talking on the phone, friends running together, serious runners leading the pack, people attempting to do so in wheelchairs. It was inspiring to think that all 10,000 people trained for this one event. Such determination, dedication, and splendor. I felt blessed to be a part of it. There were kids on shoulders cheering as Mom ran by, balloons, bottle waters being thrown about, dogs barking, people cheering by name for every person who ran by with their name on their shirt. I witnessed lots of smiles as I sat there with my morning orange juice and apple danish wondering how I would ever get back to the other side of the street. So many runners. So much bliss.

What made me smile today . The Sun was out and knowing that my husband was finally well and no more surgery for now . He spent last christmas in the hospital .

Doing the right thing makes me smile also

We tried the pumpkin pie shake at Jack-in-the-Box.

I smiled at the reaction from my grandson when I asked (after our TG dinner Sunday) if he would like to play Candyland with me. His face lit up. He was playing with some cars by himself, being a good boy, but just need a little attention from his Mammaw.

The plumber fixed my guestroom toilet. Then a Realtor I haven't heard from for a year called to hire me again, to send out 3000 calendars to her customers...Big job, lotsa mulah!

Congrats Chatty! Das Mulah!

Louisa sent me her BWS Christmas card labels and saved me a lot of time, something that's getting harder to find these days. Thank you Louisa!

I'm smiling because I can just see us all getting our cards, and we'll know right away that they're from our BWS sisters since they'll all have those labels!

And every label will remind me of Louisa and bring another smile to my face at the awesome ripple effect of her kindness.

I'm smiling because it is nice to have so many friends. Thanks Kathy and Eagle. Anyone needs the labels, just let me know.
