I thought it would be a nice idea to have a thread named...
 
I smiled today because......
 
We all smile in the same Language and a smile can work wonders for us all.
 
 
Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too
I walked around the corner
And someone saw me grin
When he smiled I realised
I had passed it on to him
I thought about the smile
And then realised its worth
A single smile like mine
Could travel round the earth
So if you feel a smile begin
Don't leave it undetected
Start an epidemic
And get the world infected.
 
 

 
 
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥

This really made me smile I am sure it will you too...
 
 
 
When I went in India the family I care for had a celebration party for the two little ones I look after.
 
The boys were both hot and worn out by 9pm so was I so we went home with the man who drives for the family.
 
 
I popped the baby into bed and then went to the kitchen to make the big fellow a milkie drink.
 
 
I turned on the microwave and the electricty wentit was pitch back and very very warm indeed.The man that was with us said something in Indian and left the house and locked us in.
 
I said out loud 'oh no where has he gone and what is he doing?.
 
The little boy said 'don't worry Sandra he said 'he will be back in Indian!!'.
 
I laughed so much 
 
I was still worried as the place was like a sauna.
 
I had a brainwaveI lifted the baby from his cot as I knew he would have boiled in there.I then went to the fridge/freezer and opened both doors and we (all three of us) stayed there.I cuddled both boys as I did not want them to feel scared like me.
 
Obviously the little fellow had more sense than me because he said 'Don't panic Sandra breath and count to 20'.I could not stop laughing as I say this to him if ever he is worried  bless him.
 
That's how I got some of my lovely bitesbut luckly for us the man came back after 15 mins with others who gave us light...
 
This made me smile so much and I as sure I have passed on my smile to you.
 
Love to all,Sandraxxxx

Sandra, dear, I really like the idea of of this thread. Bless you for coming up with it. I smiled today because by the time we had reached
the point of restocking the pantry, we were all so tired we didn't want to move much less restock cases of flour, sugar, canned goods, etc. This group of 40, 50,and 60+ year old "kids" started making silly, gross comments about what was in the cases of canned goods. If you have ever been around 10 to 14 year old boys, you know how "sick" their comments can become about certain types of food, especially things like vegetables. By the time the pantry was restocked, we were all laughing hysterically about really gross descriptions of what the cans contained.

Betty, I love the idea of behaving like 14 year olds!! Nothing like them is there?
 
I remember the days.
 
Sandra, this is a brilliant thread...thank you.
 
I just smiled (laughed hysterically actually) at the picture Liliwings conjured for me, of teaching my 38 year old Son to clean the toilet!!!

Oh dear I smiled so much today because I mixed Betty up with Edda.Not that I did but I did.
 
I have posted several threads calling Edda Betty.Poor Edda is staring to think she is Betty.Not that there is anything wrong with being Betty,but I think she needs to have her own identity.
 
Sorry ladies but I have just laughed at my own stupidity

Dear Sandra, you've kept me laughing this morning!
Being confused with Betty is rather an honor!

This reminds me of our Centering Prayer Group where one woman is called Addie. These names get mixed up at times, and I even have called myself "Addie" which adds some hilarity to the proceedings!

Edda
Peace and joy!

Edda, Dear,"Being confused with Betty is rather an honor! " May I say that I definitely also consider the reverse also true.

Sandra, Dear,"Not that there is anything wrong with being Betty,but I think she needs to have her own identity" Sweetie, there is so much wrong with Betty but in spite of it all, the Holy One puts up with her. If she ever really finds her own identity, I will definitely let you know!

This morning, the look on my husband's face as the huge buffalo face stared eyeball to eyeball with him and about 8 inches away from his face, made me smile. He quietly raised the driver's side window and very very slowly drove away.

Sweetie, you have nothing to be sorry for! She is as she is, warts and all and that is good enough for the Holy One. I figure that maybe
by the time I reach 100, I may have found my identity whatever that might be. Until then, I will just be the "jack of all trades--master of
none," and the Holy One's "Little One."
As far as the buffalo, there are some within about a ten minute walk and there is a nature preserve about a 20 minute drive. We drove through
this morning and guess who forgot her cameras-- There were herds of buffalo, elk, lots of bambis and wild turkeys. The buffalos have
a tendency to just wander across the road or stop in the middle of it or go up and down and check out the cars. sometimes the elk will do the same but never the bambis. This morning, there was a pure example of what it means to "butt heads together." There were two young male buffalos literally chasing each other getting in front of each other and then butting heads together. Papa buffalo didn't seem to happy about it and was walking down the road toward them when he stopped and wanted to check our car out. Personally, I though he was kind of cute with his long beard and mop of curly fur between his horns. I mean, gee, he wasn't snorting or anything. Husband just wasn't too happy about it, especially since they
do have signs up that buffalo have been know to damage cars during mating season. It's probably good I wasn't driving because I would probably have reached out the window and tried to pet him.
