Looking at the Bright Side
Woman in the Middle | November 12, 2013Big stuff, like engagements and babies and winning the lottery, just happen a few times in our lives. But the little stuff, the fun, joyful, pretty and funny stuff, now that happens every day. This afternoon I was finding quite a few of those little moments.
Eldest Daughter and I were out running errands today and had to stop by the grocery store. Outside the store was a boy who looked about 12 holding an adorable little white terrier mix dog. That dog was so happy at all the people walking by, he couldn’t stop wagging his tail. So cute!
A few more steps and as I stopped to grab a shopping cart I saw a dad and his little girl walk by. She was all dressed for t-ball in her baseball pants, shirt, cap and shoes. But clutched in her hand was a gold princess tiara, a nice big one. I had a chuckle over that. Dad’s little slugger was still all girl!
We did our shopping and when we came out the sky was so beautiful! There were lots of clouds which the sun was edging with silver and gold and the beautiful blue sky was peaking through. I took some photos when I got home, not that they do the beautiful sky justice, but here is one.
Then, as I was going back into the house I noticed that Nanny’s Christmas cactus is getting ready to bloom. My grandmother had a green thumb, and I do not, but I have managed to keep this one plant of hers alive for the last 14 or 15 years and it really makes me happy when it blooms every year.
I hope that there are some little things making you smile this week!
It’s always good to hear about little daily celebrations; they’re what make your days great!
Yes there are many little things during our day to day life that makes one smile…………….
I loved the image of the little slugger with her tiara safely in tow…
I love the little things of life. I have a Christmas cactus that blooms 3 times a year. It’s really 3 plants in one pot. One will bloom in November, the next in December and then again in January. Go figure!
How fun! I love the fact that it blooms for three whole months!
This week’s overcast conditions in southern California brought us the most gorgeous sunset I’ve seen in the 4 1/2 years of living here. I took about a dozen pictures but not one truly shows nature’s beauty! Visiting from Sharefest.
One of your best blogs ever! Very uplifting and encourages me to always look for life’s simple pleasures that are around more than I probably notice. Thank you!
Thank you, Laura! I am glad you enjoyed it!
