Today is day 21 of the Blogtober 2020 challenge. Where I write a post on a topic given every day for the month of October.
Today the prompt is Smile, so obviously am going to talk about what makes me smile.

Family

I am very lucky to have an amazing family. My husband is my soul mate and although drives me mad at times can make me laugh. Even when I am being a grump he can have me laughing.
My Daughter C, she has faced some major health issues the past 5 years. But she has not lost her cracking sense of humour. Although this is not seen in the mornings, as she is very much like me and not a morning person. She does still have her moments.
My Granddaughter, she is just so funny. Currently approaching three she is showing her stubborn side.
Chocolate

I love chocolate, where it is a box of chocolates or a bar of chocolate I do not care. Although it is not good for my waist line, chocolate does help cheer me up when I am having one of those days.
Coffee

I do not function in the mornings until I have had my first cup of coffee. I am a coffeeholic and love my coffee. If I take a break I always make a coffee and take 10 minutes to sit and chill while drinking it.
Pets

I have two dogs an Alaskan Malamute and a German Shepherd. They are both totally different in character but both so funny. They are also very protective of C and are often found in with her, or popping in through out the day to see she is ok. They can always put a smile on my face just by their cheeky looks.
What makes you smile?

21 October 2020 at 11:59 amwhat a lovely post, plenty of things to smile about. I’m a cat person rather than a dog person, but it doesn’t matter, pets can always be entertaining and caring.

21 October 2020 at 9:41 pmSometimes we just need to take a step back and reflect on what we have. It makes us remember all the lovely things and people who surround us.

23 October 2020 at 4:44 pmHaving a sense of humour can really help through times like these. They helped me get through months of hospital visits and stays when my eldest was seriously ill.
