Small Wonders...

Sometimes the littlest things can make my day.
For instance....
I love it when I am getting gas and I stop at an even dollar. There are so many times when I try to stop at $20 and it will go to $20.01. It makes me mad so I go to the next dollar and try again. I think the gas company sets the meters that way to suck even more money out of us. But when I get it to stick on the exact dollar I send out a silent cheer of victory. And that small little wonder makes my day.

Another one is an unloaded dishwasher. For some reason unloading the dishwasher is worse than cleaning toilets. I am not sure why but it is. So on the rare occasion that my husband has unloaded the dishwasher and put the dishes away it makes me smile.

Another would be when day 2 of my hairdo looks better than day 1 and I don't have to wash my hair! Simple yes, but again it makes me smile and is such a small thing.

I love driving down my street in the summer. It is full of very tall trees that make the street very shady and beautiful. Every time I turn the corner and drive down it makes me smile.

My computer at work has a bunch of pictures of my kids loaded on it and when it goes into screen saver mode I get to see a little slide show of all my pictures. That typically means I haven't touched my computer in 3 minutes - which is very rare with my job - so when the slide show comes across I always stop and watch for a minute or two. I know that I should be working but that small wonder is sometimes enough to get through the rest of the work day.

And last for today but definately not least. When I drop my kids off at daycare they like to wave at me out the window. It is so cute to see them both up there waving and yelling at me through the window. It makes me sad to leave them, but when that is the last sight I have on my way to work it always makes me smile. And my daughter can climb up and look out another higher window as I turn the corner and I think she waves at me until my car is out of sight.....
