Smile

Have you ever had one of those days that you just can't help but smile?

Well, today is that day for me.

This past year has been a living nightmare for the most part. Whether it was physical, emotional or spiritual stress, it has happened in greater amounts than I knew I could handle. I don't know if this horrendous year is over with just yet (crossing my fingers that it is). BUT, for the past few days I can say that there has been some very real mercy shown to me. 

This will probably be a very short blog for now. I want to write about what is making me smile, but for now it will be enough to say that I feel happy again. Happiness has been hard to come by this year. The few times I felt it were short-lived. So, for this, I must express my gratitude. My dear friend Julie Wilson helped me realize that I need to learn to be happy wherever I am, regardless of the situation. I didn't think it was possible, but it just might be. For all of the blessings in my life, today I show it with a super cheesy smile. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
