Blogs by nature are suppose to be updated frequently. Such has NOT been my case recently. My life has been filled with a variety of activities, none of which connect - demanding extra brain cells to keep track of everything. And so enters my age of using Outlook. The task manager has become my friend....or better put, my brain. If I remember something I need to do - I post it as a task thus removing my need to "remember" everything in my brain.
So today as I cross off "update blog", it brought a smile to my face and I began to think of other odd things that have brought a smile in the past few days.
- Leaves falling from a tree so late in the season. Their dance down to earth is a moment to smile and pause.
- A butterfly scurrying aimlessly around my backyard
- Our dog - every morning when he wakes up with more energy and excitement than should be allowed at 6 a.m.
- A packed and overflowing room of couples wanting to a "Couple Checkup" to help their relationship
- A sunny day that is brisk and has no humidity
- The sound of the school bus bringing my kids home
- A suitcase - signifying a trip with my daughter to San Diego to help plan a wedding (another thing to smile about)
It seems to me the news and state of things seems to be causing an exorbitant amount of tension and worry. Maybe we need to take more time to reflect and smile.
What makes you smile?

Hi Karen ---
I've enjoyed catching up on your blog today. You are an awesome writer!! Are you sure you want to do real estate?? :-) Jim and I really enjoyed watching the Winter Wonderland video. Jim says to tell you that he was impressed -- especially with the fades, stills, and use of music. I just enjoyed feeling like I was there with you all, even if it was 2 months ago! The space shuttle picture was really great too. What a neat experience to see that overhead!! Love you all -- Cathy and Jim
