smiles

there are things in life that bring a smile to my face.  my daughter, vanilla ice-cream, chicago (especially driving to the city and seeing the skyline), funfetti cake, babies, good company, beautiful images that give a glimpse of heaven... the list could go on, but this morning at 5:37 i opened my eyes and heard trucks shoveling snow... and i smiled.  i opened my curtain and there it was... one of my favorite things in the world.... snow.  so beautiful... i've been praying for one last snow so that A and i could enjoy some snow time...  yay!!! it's here.  i'll be smiling all day long.
