Thursday Smiles

I've always felt that Thursday is a yucky day. I don't know why but it's always been distasteful in my head. Maybe it started back when I had a paper route and I really didn't look forward to the looming doom of walking the streets for 2 hours to make a penny every Thursday...or maybe because tests are usually Fridays so that means studying on Thursday nights...or maybe just because it's SO close to Friday yet...not Friday. or MAYBE it the name...it's just not pretty word: "Thursday"...whatever the case, I have decided to make Thursdays not so distasteful to me by starting this weekly post. Each Thursday, I shall post about the things that have made me smile that day...or I suppose that week if I am having a particularly lousy Thursday...We shall see if this will even go beyond this week as I have lately been rather pathetic at keeping up with this blog. Sooooo for my very first Thursday smiles...

1. teeny tiny molten pieces of metal exploding from the pipe my dad was slicing through...made me smile mostly because he asked if I wanted to do it and I screamed in surprise at the first spray of bright sparks. Also, because it looks like a shower of thousands of shooting stars.

2. the glow around street lamps at night, almost like the light that is escaping from the lamp is trying to stick to it, hesitant to leave

3. THIS necklace. It's old and broken but one of my very favourites. Each time I wear it, I'm reminded of our amazing trip to London and the little store in the train station that I almost didn't buy it from, but I'm so glad I did

4. this awesome ad for laundry soap that brightened my unwanted visit to the dentist

5. Gelato spoons in their happy rainbow of colours...nuff said :)

6. blasting music on the way home from work, singing in my own little world, wishing the drive were longer

Not pictured: the tiny sliver of moon that hung horizontally in the sky like a giant sleepy eye about to close, I like the moon, I like it a whole lot.

Maybe some of these items made you smile...maybe you've had different things today that brought a grin to your face but I hope you have enjoyed my attempt at brightening my Thursday. I think it worked :)
