United Cakedom: family

Last year I went home, to America. It was a much needed visit, as prior to my five week stay last summer, I hadn't been home in 4 years. Money, kids, life just kept me from getting back. There isn't an actual word to describe how glad/thankful/grateful I am that I went for that visit.

Little did I know that it was the last time we would all be together, my parents, sisters and I. It would seem reasonable for me to rant about needing and wanting more time, of course we all do! The extremely practical part of me knows there is no more time, therefore, I can only be grateful for the time I did have. As I mentioned above there are no words to express how glad/thankful/grateful I am for the time I had last year.

Dear Blog (4) - review of last year

Today is World Smile Day. It started with the creator, Harvey Ball, of the infamous yellow smiley face. He felt like his image was being over commercialized and therefore losing it’s meaning.

He wanted to take one day a year to celebrate smiles and acts of kindness. The Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was created after he died and they are the sponsors of World Smile Day.

I thought in light of it being World Smile Day today’s Five on Friday would be about five things that make me smile!
