What made you smile today?


Recommended Posts

I had to smile at the older guy that was getting out of his car as I drove by… White hair, white beard with a tank top and cargo shorts, hat, sunglass, a great tan and totally ripped arms to the point I could see his veins along his biceps. I think he saw me checking him out and gave a smile and a nod.  He was very impressive at any age!  I love summer :)

The last tenant in this place was a gardener too. She must have planted sunflowers near the back shed, because a dozen or so popped up a bit ago and have been climbing climbing climbing higher since. I didn't start watering them until a week ago, when I realized they would probably appreciate it. Anyway, this morning I got up, and they had bust open! Yeee!

Spontaneous smile moment.

At the gym this morning, my son got into a conversation with one of the more senior TRX guys (you know the type... looks to be 60, but he's in better shape than I will EVER BE IN...) Told him it was impressive and inspiring to see my son there at 6am, three days a week, running and biking and using the weight machines.  He said he's a teacher at one of the local high schools, and asked which high school he went to.  My son replied he was in elementary school still, and the guy's eyes got really big.  My son is kind of huge. 

 

The important part is it really helped inspire my son, since a lot of people have complimented him at the gym. He really appreciates the positive feedback from complete strangers.

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

I was in a pretty shitty mood this morning, but as my little sister was heading to school, I decided to be nice. I told her to have a great day, and tell her friends I said hi. She left with a smile, and that picked my mood up. I've been in a good mood since :)

When we were eating lunch I told my husband that I was cold in the restaurant and would prefer to go eat outside in the sun. I am usually always hot and avoid being in the sun because it makes me even warmer. Or at least I used to always be hot and avoid the sun. Now that I've lost weight I can actually enjoy sunny days and warmer temperatures.

For the first time since Mike deployed I got to spend a whole day at the house, alone. AM is at daycare and I am off work for the summer. The house is clean, laundry is done, and I am about to do my workout before 9 o'clock at night! Amazing how a little down time can completely recharge this worn out mommy. :D

I am very much hoping for this as well, I remember that it used to be that way when I was thin, and living here in SW FL I need to be heat tolerant.

This is from last night. My husband, daughter, and I were taking a walk when one of her friends ran out and yelled "Hey [silo's daughter] look what I can do!" Then she jumped up, grabbed a tree branch, and did a pull-up. Very fun to watch!
