Things that make me smile....

Hearing my children snore. They sound just like their daddy.

Seeing my dog bounce up and down trying to get our attention when we get home. It doesn't matter if we've been gone 5 minutes or 5 hours. She's just as excited either way.

Any time I see a rainbow. I'm reminded of that old song "I've never seen a rainbow til after the rain..I've never felt his healing power until after the pain.." It reminds me that God is still God and the rain has to come so you can have the rainbow.

Seeing a patient go from worrying their nurse with their condition to smiling, talking and eating and getting to go home all better! (BTW, it's not nice to scare/worry your nurse. She'll carry that even on her days off and come back and look up all your labs and test results on her next day at work just to see how you did. It's not often I worry that much over a patient, but when I do, they're really sick!)

Eating an ice cream from the ice cream truck. Reminds me of being a kid when that was the best treat ever.

I know mine aren't particularly deep or super-special, but those are some things that make me smile no matter how bad I feel. So, what makes you smile?
