The little things

It's the little things in life lately that make me smile from ear to ear. It's the unexpected surprises that brighten my day...the beautiful card my friend Laura sent to me to let me know she's thinking of me. It's the Facebook message from a HS friend letting me know he's been through it and he's there for me. It's the beautiful bouquet of flowers sent to me out of the blue from my hubby accompanied with a smiley face balloon for Ella to cheer us up. It's the text messages from Jaimie and others who send *hugs* and well wishes on random days. It's the afternoon naps with my little girl, my sweet Ella, watching her nestled on a pillow adorned with a pillowcase from my late grandma...a gift for our first wedding anniversary which I will never throw away no matter how old it gets. It's the little things that always keep me smiling.
