Angels among us

I want people to know some things about some good people. Some of you know and are friends with Phil Hoffman. Recently he posted on Facebook that a friend of his knew of a little boy that lost his Daddy and his home in a fire. The boy had nothing left and he needed some furniture, Phil asked his friends to help out. My neighbors across the street I knew were getting rid of some bedroom furniture, I called them up and sure enough the Salvation Army was coming to pick it up in a few days. They asked me what I needed and told me it was mine. Phil brought his truck and trailor up on a snowy night last week to pick it all up. Phil loaded up a bed, a nightstand, and a 22 inch tv for the little boy. When my neighbor Erik found out why Phil was doing this he threw in a new toy that he had in basement. I'm still touched at the kindness of both of these people. When you surround yourself with good people you can sit back and just wait for good things to happen. Is it a miracle? no, but a little boy without a Daddy has a bed to sleep in and maybe, just maybe a lit bit of comfort. We can't fix the world all in one day but we can try heal it one smile at a time.

Facebook

Facebook makes me smile, it makes me pissed off every now and then too but the friends I have on there with their witty comments and their pictures make me laugh out loud every day. Facebook has given me chances to become friends with people again, to become friends with people that I wanted to be friends with, and chances to become friends with people there is no other way I would have become friends with.  I know some really good people on there, people that for some reason like me the way I am and laugh at my sick sense of humor. The friends I have are spread out all over the country but yet I think I could get all of them in one room and they could all get along. Most of these people are very giving people. Most of these people give something of themselves not just money. One friend works with habitat for humanity, one friend is a Big Sister, several friends are very involved in their churches. I almost started to believe everything I hear in the media, that people are rotten. No people, no they arent' and I have a bunch of friends to back me up.

I can sit here at my computer and smile because I know that I have two people in this house that love me.  I don't know why sometimes, but they do.

i have my first follower

I feel like Jim Jones, I have a follower, I'll break out the koolaid later. Jacquie, you are funny and make me smile just by living the life you do. You and I are alike because trouble finds us, we don't have to look for it.

My son

Today my son and I were laying on the couch in the basement watching one of his cartoons, Daddy hit him with some chili butt and he got really upset. "Daddy, I got something Icky in my nose!!! ew!!"

What makes you smile?

What makes you smile? laugh? I want it all here. I want to spend more time smiling and less time frowning. Make me smile, make others smile, make everybody smile.
