March 9, 2008 7:13am CST
Everyday, as I wake up, I always count my blessings and thank God for all things that come my way good or bad. Nowadays, I notice that people have been so busy with their lives and work that most often they are always stressed and their minds full of many things. At one point in my busy life, I stopped to think of life and thought of things that made me smile... Here are some things that made me smile... 1) looking at my sleeping son make me smile 2) a helping hand in a public transport 3) an sms from a friend to tell they remembered me 4) eating a cone of my favorite ice cream 5) wathcing children play in the playground These are just some things that make me smile.. What makes you smile?

You are so right gabrielle, sometimes people have been so busy to notice simple things around them that can make them smile. As for me, the things that made me smile... 1. sunsets- so love the color- reminds me that God indeed is a good painter 2. my boyish sister, she plays the guitar- which I never get to master- i inspire her to learn and she's loving it. 3. my family during dinners and our conversation. 4. other people calling my name, i just love hearing it. 5. my man- acting weird whenever he's late on our date =)

Acting like he is the most gentle man in the earth. I know he is nervous because he knows I'll nag him about being late but trying hard not to show it- that certain look. And he is throwing some jokes which is not really funny at all but to make it funny he laughs at his own jokes. hahaha =)

There are lots of turn ons to me. It sounds crazy. But still these things make me smile. 1.Watching the neatly ironed clothes in my wardrobe which was found spread out the last morning. 2.To see my bike's fuel tank full if it is been taken out by my friend with no fuel. 3.To look into my mobile after i wake up and find a message from my love.

I've only been on this site for a couple of days now, so I'm still getting used to its intricacies (such as options to switch mature content on or off), but I just thought you'd like to know that your comment was rated mature for some reason. ^_^

:) Friday I walked around my campus and told people I felt it was a beautiful day to be alive. ^_^ I even cheered up one or two, I think. I feel so lucky in that I'm healthy, loved, and safe. I love my boyfriend because he has restored my faith in humanity. I'm going to visit my family today to cheer them up too. :)

What makes me smile is a sunny day, a sleeping baby (they don't cry), and a job well done.

Well done you, for taking a moment out just to appreciate things. We should all do it far more often, then perhaps we would realise that most of us are more fortunate than we realise. My children make me smile when they smile at me, my partner makes me smile when he holds my hand or rubs my shoulder, my pets make me smile when they're so enthusiastic about seeing me. Sometimes when a stranger smiles at me it makes me smile back. We should all try that & make the world a friendlier place.

Almost anything makes me smile. I am a happy person in nature and believed that our disposition attracts what we project. So I think if we want to attract good vibes, we should maintain a positive attitude and be thankful that we have been given privilege to live and the ability to work out this life.

It makes me happy when I see my mom laughing and having fun. She is battling a kidney disease but she's getting better lately.
