In one of my Bible's I have reserved the back page for writing a list of my favorite things. This is an awesome exercise and I would encourage everyone to do it. I try to put the date behind new entries so I can see when and how my life is impacted by things. This is a great place to turn on a day when I feel a little blue. I read the list and am reminded of things that make me smile.
Some things don't make that list but they still make me smile. Here are a few:
Springtime in Kansas! There are so many flowering trees and the blossoms seem to stay for a while. Springtime in Wisconsin seemed to come and go too quickly compared to here.
Here is a picture of a tree that is right off our balcony:
Another thing that will always bring a smile to my face is a redbud tree in bloom at springtime. There are many of these trees here and just driving down any road the color and beauty they bring brightens my day.
The last thing that I just have to share is my husband's new "thing" since we returned from Singapore. While there he tried "finger" bananas and found out that he really liked them. So, anytime he sees them here he has to buy them. What made me smile is when I turned the corner and saw them hanging on our banana tree. They are so small and looked funny compared to the normal bananas that would be hanging there. It made me smile. :)
