i SMILED

...i did, really.

What, you don't believe me????


no time to convince you or me.
but I did smile....what was it, when, hmmmm; it's a little foggy, something about my Grandpa, a musical play, some glitter, a couple the kids friends here and there, political meetings, making quilts, a birthday party, a date....late night--but a date none the less, some pick up sticks, a few lincoln logs, extra shoes piled by the front door, scouts scouting for food, laughter from the other room, a hug when i was crying, some burnt toast, a phone call from a friend at the right moment, and one who just stopped by, perfect scriptures for me during family study impressing thoughts of personal comfort.
a couple of thoughtful cards, a game of old maid, softly falling snow, SUNSHINE, a foot rub, a good movie, a new friend, a lot of prayer, a melancholy song, and the feeling of arms around me when no one was there.

yes, i smiled!
