Smile

I am one of the people who desperately need sunshine to survive...and it's cloudy and gloomy and just yucky today so I stayed in.

I stayed in because during the past week it would be insanely sunny during the day and a bit chilly at night.. and you wouldn't believe it's January.

So I am posting photos I took that make me happy. Because I need cheerfulness.


This is Hamza, who is part of the Jordanian band, Autostrad. I only met him once..or twice, but he's such a great person! He's friends with Mohammed.


Worldwide moment. Can you see my brother?

One view from the Cairo tower :) that was one amazing day.


One of the few photos of one of my closest cousins and friends SMILING! I miss you Hamoudi!

So yeah..What makes you smile? Other things that make me smile include: good books, moleskines, kindness, smiles, my father and his jokes, silly jokes, when people like food I cook, my friends. Mohammed's silly jokes, my brother, my family, when something fits perfectly, shoes, good lyrics...the SUN!!

I need to start thinking of a few things that DO make me smile, so I don't let a few evil people ruin a beautiful day.

Cool photo of your brother!

What makes me smile...
When people I know smile at me!
When I get lovely e-mails
When I get letters
When I witness kindness
When someone is funny without trying to SOUND funny
When the sun shines
When I'm in Rome
When I'm at the beach

So lovely. I like that photo of you in the candle light.

Things that make me smile? Random things that just make my day a bit brighter, like seeing old couples hold hands or the moments when you realise you have amazing friends.

Lol I'm the complete opposite! I love walking around on an icy day and cower indoors if I so much as think the sun might appear!lol! Well I'm not quite that bad, but you get the idea!

Things that make me smile: tea, photos, journals, pizza, the Asian kid singing I'm Yours, The Boy and all the lovely things he does for me!

defining amy said...

when my students ditch their classes because of emotional crap their dealing with... and find refuge in my classroom. that makes me smile.

i hope that doesn't make me a bad teacher.
