Just inside the smiling frog curtain is my bottle of body wash. Since showering is also a daily routine, I couldn't resist when when I spotted this body wash while out shopping. Who couldn't do with an extra "Touch of Happiness" slathered upon them each and every day? If it isn't helping, at least it's getting me clean. :)I once read that we should fill our homes with things that make us smile; photos of loved ones, silly quotes, beautiful paintings... Of course, I know that the abundance of things can never really bring me true happiness, but if they make me smile along the way, the job of being happy feels all that much easier. What do you have that makes you smile? (I mean besides cookies.)

Eternal Life.
Nuff said?
Wonderful!
DeleteI have oh so much more than happy frogs and body wash too!
The list goes on and on.
You are right we should put things in our homes that makes us happy! Fortunately I have many little things which I got from my children. One of them couldn't keep a secret

Children make me happy too... sometimes. ;)
DeleteAnd they really do say the darnedest things!
If you take care of all the little things that make you happy the big things will take care of you!
ReplyDeleteI think if I can find something to smile at and be thankful for each and every day, life will turn out okay. :0)
DeleteI am certainly a believer of surrounding yourself with happy things and seeing beauty in the little stuff. I don't' think I could get in the shower with those frogs and that wash and not smile! :)
ReplyDeletea few things...daylight and shadows, coffee, a bird's song, lotion on my feet. :)
Smiling toenails, pumpkins waxing orange, tractors in the orchard, and a trip to Minnesota!
DeleteHaHa...Martha, was the cookie statement meant for me?? I have a little wooden sign that says "Here are a few of my Favorite Things" that sits on top of my Hutch. All my nick nacks make me happy. Candles make me happy. Seeing my Journals and Prayer book on the coffee table make me happy. The smells from the kitchen make me happy, and painting my toes a pretty color makes me happy. Knowing my sins are forgiven even though I don't deserve it makes the happiest.
ReplyDeleteCookies make everyone happy, don't they?
DeleteKnowing I am forgiven in spite of myself, having hope beyond this life, and hearing God's voice are all reasons to be happy. And though September will always be bittersweet and make me miss my dad, September brings so much to be thankful for and it makes me smile too.

"Don't worry, be happy!"
DeleteWhat makes me happy?
ReplyDeleteQuite a few things actually...
A phone call from a friend...
Pulling into the driveway at the cottage...
A cup of tea with a friend...
My children and their chosen partners...
My partner and boyfriend...
41 years of marriage next Monday...
And of course...last but not least...
My wee Vivian...:o)
Lots of other things as well...
But...
Not nearly as important as the above..:o)
Thanks for making me think of these...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Linda, I like your list, ad I like how you always refer to your husband as you "boyfriend". Congratulations on 41 years!
DeleteMy grandchildren make me smile too.

This post certainly made me smile especially the froggie shower curtain. I should do that sort of thing instead of worrying about what matches.

Leslie, we spray painted an old bookcase a pretty light green along with a very small table/plant stand and they make the bathroom colors match. (I obviously worry too much too.)
DeleteI love this post Martha!! My only art in my home is pieces of vintage things I adore or pictures of my family. My Sis is an artist and we have a few of her paintings too. I need that shower curtain in the mornings when I get up at 6:15 to go swim laps.

They are wonderful to wake up to, so long as I remember to see them. :)
DeleteWould love to do more "real" decorating. Maybe one day I will buy a painting from Daniel Hauben...
Your happy frogs match ours, only ours are real and sing at night. They sang non-stop from March to August. They do make me happy because they remind me of our rural-type environment even when it is night.
ReplyDeleteBesides cookies? Tough question.
ReplyDeleteJust looking at our dog Lindy makes me happy, even though there's a touch of sadness now that she's losing her eyesight. It's harder on us than it is on her, because she's still a happy girl.
I just realized it's been ages since I visited your blog. Nice to see you again. And I'm going to try to find some of that Nivea body wash, it sounds wonderful.
