One thing I love about living on this whirling orb called Earth is that there are so many things which make us smile. Smiling makes me feel good, therefore I want to think about stuff everyday that makes me smile.
Some days it’s hard to remember that smileable moments are just waiting for me to see them. But like Mount Rainier on a rainy day, they do indeed always exist, even if I can’t see them at the moment. If I am seeking them out, they are there. And on the many good days I get to live in this life, the smile turns into a laugh.
So today, please leave a comment and tell me one word or phrase that makes you smile. Give yourself one minute to choose your word. Explain why it makes you smile if you’d like.Think on that word today and let it bring joy to your heart.
My word today is color! It brings feeling and beauty to the
space it occupies. Because my work is about working with color in people’s lives, I get to make people smile on a regular basis!
I can’t wait to hear your word, the one that will remind you of the joy at your fingertips.

lullaby – first of all I just love the way it rolls off my tongue, second I love to sing, and third it reminds of some of the best times with my young children.
Stealing back.
The act of taking back something that was stolen long ago. Could be helping someone see the truth about the goodness of their own heart that they buried long ago to protect it from further damage. Could be bringing real value to people in marketplaces that are flooded with over-priced chincy goods. Could be leading out captives from dark places (my favorite way is with microphones and electric guitars).
When I am involved in returning something essential that was stolen in some way, or pointing out beauty that’s been somehow painted black, I feel more than alive.
And, that makes me smile.
