I'm smiling now because, as I type, my cat has just climbed into my lap and wants to curl up

this made me smile and giggle as i tohugh this dog must be my friend as i also have a thing for plastic bottles.....hehe


this thread is great and it made me smile just to see how many people are taking part and sharing such nice things with us....

My mum sent me a text message the other day and after seeing this thread i thought i'd share it with you.....

it's fun, but it did make me cry.....(when i got my mum's answer per email....)

FLASHBACK!! text me one memory we had together, 1st one that pops into your head, send this to everyone and see how many memories you get back....xxx

copy it and send it to you friends and family far and wide and see how many smiles you can have......

I smiled this morning when a rude cyclist , who yelled at me in Swiss German for going too slowly downhill , did not see that traffic had banked up in front of him and crashed into a car further down . He was unhurt ( not sure about his pride ) and I smiled again when I wound down my window to say 'gruezi' before driving off ......

Priceless. That has had the knock-on effect of making me smile, too.

I smiled because I dashed out of the office to grab a sandwich and eat at my desk, and I bumped into my neighbors who are taking a stroll with their little daughter. Their smiles and their baby girl's smile made me smile and took just a little stress out of my life.

I smiled because the bench where we sit to eat lunch every day is a favourite fly-by fast-food pick-up spot for the local birds..and every day they politely wait until we've sat down and then one will fly down and stand next to us and chirp in a persuasive way in manner of 'oh go on, just a little crumb for me' and we give him some, and then two seconds later the next one flies down and indicates that he'd be most obliged if we'd give him some too..and I just love the way they chirp and the incline their heads, as though they are waiting for your reply!it's a daily habit now, and it makes me smile every day

... I had no tears left to cry

You already posted that on this page

Well you just made me cry even more, i was already crying before

>>BIG HUG<< Sorry hon...

Now you just made me smile, thanks for my BIG HUG

Although this may seem very sad, in a way it's a beginning. For starters, you cried. And some people don't do that, they just hold it all in. I hope you will soon have or are already having the occasional moment when you catch yourself not thinking about it all and not feeling guilty about that either. I smile every time I see you join in light-hearted silliness on the board...just because. And your skeleton avatar amuses me too, I find myself walking away from the computer exactly like that. *doing doing doing*

I am smiling because my son his alive, earlier he was chocking on a strawberry, and could not breath luckily i could get to him on time, and help him, or he could of died, after i had hit him hard on the back bent over, i held him for 20 minutes, and he never normally sits on my knee for that long, so i am grateful my son is still here with me.

Happy to hear your son is okay!

Thanks goodness everything is OK. I am glad to hear tht story... enjoy the finale

Me too it was very scary that is why now i can smile that he his still with me btw i was shaking very badly afterwards because the firts few whacks did not help, and he was in a bad way, but the important thing is he his ok, and now i can smile

I smiled 'cos I just read this

Actually I grinned, guffawed, giggled and split my sides. Thank you Uncle Bertrand (and Dougals Breakfast, of course)

I'm still smiling from Wednesday night's shenanigans!
