Do you ever stop & really think about the small wonders & pleasures in your life? Are you as appreciative of them as you should be?  A lot of really special things have been happening in my life lately and I have spent a lot of time thinking about what makes me happy and what I want in my life.  Often this soul-searching culminates in a realization of the blessings in my life. Realizations that bring those little knowing smiles to my face.

I have two healthy, happy sons who are growing into kind, intelligent, compassionate, talented young men.  I am fortunate enough to be able to take a chance on myself and work on building a business doing things I am good at and that I love.  I am surrounded by people, on and off line, who are inspiring, loving and willing to give of their hearts and minds.  I have my health and, most of the time (lol), my sanity.  I have sunrises, flowers, laughter, music, puppies, I could go on and on.  All of the little things that bring smiles to our faces. Smiles that we all too often are not even aware are brightening our world.

So my challenge to you is to find at least one thing each day – one of those simple pleasures, one of the wonderful thoughts, anything that brings a smile to your face.  Hold it in your hands, your head or your heart, let it brighten your life.  Then do the most important thing you can possibly do, Share It.
