Things That Make Me Smile - The World As I See It

Weekly Wrap-Up

I am going to start doing a wrap up post at the end of the week because it would be nice to be able to look back at it. It is also a great way for you to see all the posts that I posted over the week and you can check them out if you missed them. I also am going to post anything that happened during the week that I want to remember or that you might find interesting.

This week I had 4 post that went live. This weeks quote was by Marcus Tullius and it is about being humble. If you missed it you can click right here to check it out. Then the next two days I had book reviews that went live. I posted reviews for If I Say No by Brandy Jellum and Remember The Lilies by Liz Tolsma and I loved both of these books. If you love historical fiction novels than I would recommend Remember The Lilies to you and if you love suspense novels than I would say check out If I Say No. The last post from this week was about things that made me smile this week.

There are a couple of things that I want to let you know that are coming up next week. I have and Multiple Sclerosis update coming up because I had a new MRI & I also found out something that I want to record so that I remember when it started happening. I also have an adoption thoughts post going up next week as well because some things happened that I want to write about and get out of my head and hope that it helps me deal with it better.

That is everything that I wanted to update you on for this week.

Things That Made Me Smile This Week

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 2 which is something that made me smile this week. Instead of just writing about one thing I am going to list several things that made me smile so far this week.

The first thing that has made me smile is this stray cat that I feed at work. He eats funny and always makes me smile when I watch him. I am going to include a video & picture so you can see what I am talking about.

The second thing that has made me smile this week is my own cats. They are always doing something silly and they always make the days better because even if I have had a super bad day when I go home they don’t judge or care what happened to me. They always love me no matter what which is nice.
The third thing that has made me happy this week was getting my nails done yesterday. I always love getting my nails done because the lady that does my nails has become one of my best friends so it is always a good time.
The fourth thing that has made me smile is thinking back to Saturday when we were watching my nephew and all the crazy things that he does. It is so fun to interact with him now but it is a lot more work and if I am being honest I don’t have the energy to really keep up with him anymore. I play with him for a little bit and then I go lay down. I just keep seeing over and over that I don’t have the energy to be a mom (I will have an MS update coming up sometime next week).
The final thing that made me smile this week was paying off all of my credit card debt!!!! I am going to wait a few months to see what happens at work but I am hoping since it is all paid off that I will be able to afford to get an iMac by the summer time. Those of you who know me know I love Apple products so I want an iMac so bad it isn’t funny.

Anyway those are the things that made me smile this week. What made you smile this week?
