The little things that make you smile...


You know, those little, inconsequential, nugatory things that just happen, that keep life from being monotonous, and banausic.
Like snow, or White Christmas by Bing Crosby on the radio, or buying a thesaurus at a thrift store... =)

For me, these smile-inducing little things include:

1. Black finger tips on my left hand from diligent practicing.

2. A thick, red callous on my right index finger from my violin bow.

3. Coffee and a Costco muffin.



What are some little things in your life that just make you inexplicably happy? Drop a comment with a list of two or three smile-inducing things, and if enough of you leave a comment, I'll publish a list with one thing from each of you in my next post!

Christmas Blessings,
Emily
