Here are 10 random things in life that ALWAYS make me smile:
Books!
The ones with happy endings, humorous dialogue, suspense, fun adventures, romance, smart-ass characters, a little snark, a lot of fun, magic, twists and turns, thrills and chills, mystery, ghosts, even a bit of sadness. Because ALL kinds of books make me smile. (Which is why I couldn't come up with a list of ten for this post.)

Definitely agree with the things you mentioned here, Lark! And that pic of Napili Bay is beautiful! If only we could travel now!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could be in Napili Bay right now! :)
DeleteI love LOVE this list! Blogging friends -- I totally agree with, and puppies!!!
ReplyDelete:D They're the best!
DeleteJust the cover of The Paper Bag Princess made me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love that book! :)
DeleteYou've made me hungry! These days, good food, time with my boyfriend and pets, and taking the time to relax all make me happy.
ReplyDeleteAll good things! :D
DeleteYes to books, minions and cute puppies for making me smile! A big yes to my friend's blogs as well which help keep me sane!
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without them? :D
DeleteI loved everything about this post. Thanks for stopping by a minute ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lydia! :)
DeleteThis post makes me so happy! So many lovely things :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteI love books and I'm pretty sure I'm willing to stop buying everything else that's not a necessity to get them. The magic of books is that they offer so much and yet, all we do is read them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Minions in small dosage. The minions movie wasn't that great, it was too many minions.
I used to like donuts but now I don't like them and I don't even know why.
I saw 'the burbs' but I can't quite remember how it ended, might have to see it again.
Puppies are great but I only like to look and not touch.
Not a fan of beaches but I like to go to one just so I can photograph a sunset without buildings and houses.
I think you might have posted a lot of John Atkinson's cartoon but I like seeing them.
Blogging friends - absolutely.
Buddy reads - haven't had one yet but let's hope.
I hope you'll enjoy my comment even if it's a bit long.
Have a lovely day.
I always love your comments! :D
DeleteI love Krispy Kreme. Same here- the closest one is across town and that's a good thing haha! Minions too- they're awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteThe PAper Bag Princess looks like a fun one!
You have to read The Paper Bag Princess! It will totally make you laugh.
DeletePUPPIES!! Who doesn't love puppies? Puppies are adorable. Also that cartoon is hilarious and soooooo accurate! Doughnuts are just heaven on earth.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Right? Puppies are awesome! Loved your list, too. Twenties Girl is one of my favorites. :)
DeleteSuch a fun list! I absolutely agree with funny movies, especially funny Tom Hanks movies - The Burbs, the Toy Story movies, The Money Pit, Sleepless in Seattle ... so many. He's the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Tom Hanks is the best. His comedies always make me smile.
DeletePAPERBAG PRINCESS!? One of our family favorites. Now I have to get up and go look for it! Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great week! Stay safely away from the coronavirus!

ReplyDeleteI watch The Burbs at least once a year. And it always makes me laugh. :)
DeleteThe jigsaw one 'really' made me laugh. (I have a 3,000 piece one on the go at the moment.)
