Funny things that make your day....

I was looking all over for my beloved iPad as I misplaced. This is something I give my kids a lecture on weekly as they misplace their stuff ALL the time.  I found the it this morning after giving up looking for it for over an hour yesterday.   Funny thing is I really didn't miss it that much.  I use it to look at social media, online shopping, reading news articles and recipes.  However when I found it this morning once opening up my email I get this message that I've reach a "milestone".  What milestone have I gotten too? I opened it up to find I've walked up over 4000 flights of stairs.  Oddly this put a huge smile on my face, you know that goofy one we all get after reading about great news.  For me this was huge!  I've been dabbling off and on over the last few years trying to make myself accountable for my fitness and health. I wear a fit bit almost every day for the last year. I try to do my minimum 10,000 steps per day.  Some days are easier than others. However this little email made me proud. It made me laught at myself too later on as I put a value on this.  This put a bounce in my step, made me walk taller and standing up straighter. It's silly I know, but I did and it made my day.

                         

The other thing that kills me is my dog, Stella.  She has this goofy way about her.  She wants us to play fetch with her but has no concept on dropping the item she wants us to throw for her.  Heaven only knows how much we try to teach her this skill.  When we get the item from her to toss it, she has the bunny like hop when she goes to retrieve her ball or stuff toy. It cracks us all up. She makes us laugh so hard some days.  She also has the cute sideways walk when she's trying to get around things or had her Halloween costume on last weekend.  She was a cute little cow with udders.   She did not like the extra tail at all. Her hoping and sideways walking can always make my day brighter no matter what.

                           

The last thing that can always make my day better is when my preteen and teen age kids come up to me out of the blue and tell me unprovoked I might add, that they love me. There is no better feeling in the world for a mom to hear these 3 words from their kids, no matter what age they are.  They are like an invisible hug. No better feeling than that.

So think about all the funny or loving things that make our days as each of us has a few.  Enjoy them no matter how quirky, odd, normal, comforting they are to you or anyone else. They can be an everyday thing or something out of the blue like a complement or an email.  We all need a thing that can make us smile daily or even bring us laughter. I truly believe that laughter in life is the best medicine.
