Ever have something happen so suddenly that you almost did not realize it was happening, but you’re happy it did?
I call those my Heart Smile moments. Unexpected but they light up your world.
Times When My Heart Smiles:
Human Touch:
The last time I received a hug that was so genuine, tight and long was from my cousin who I had not seen in years. I received that hug over 6 months ago, but I can still remember the energy from it. There’s something about the human touch that when it’s pure and righteous will last in your memory forever.
Standing on the train in the early morning and a young baby nestled in her mom’s arms reached over and touched my arm. It was so sweet, gentle, and innocent. Her mom apologized and I smile and said “No apology needed, I so needed to feel that little hand”
A Kiss:
Nothing like a first Kiss…… I’m thinking about one as I type and missing him…..
Nothing like the Kiss from a baby. It’s sloppy and gooey, but so sweet. Love, Love, Love my God Children and their Kisses!
Words:
I’m a lover of words. I will read a quote, hear the words of a song, or listen to someone and remember those words.
Most recently, this toast: “To the start of something beautiful”
This email message: “It’s such a blessing to be in your class, I’m going to take you for English 102”
These words from a song “ I am running. I don’t wanna come down. Hope my wings don’t fail me now. And if I can touch the sky. I’d risk the fall. Just to know how it feels to fly”
This status on FB: “Go Team ONYX
Scents:
I love perfume and scents can make me smile; feel warm and cozy or sexy. There’s nothing like smelling a newborn baby right? Or the smell of fresh linen from the dryer? Or bread baking. Or your lover’s scent. There’s something about when my smell sense is activated that just makes me crazy. Well most recently, a friend gave me a sample of PRADA INFUSION DE TUBEREUSE. I spritzed it on my wrist and my day instantly got better. I love Tuberose and this fragrance isn’t heavy with it, provides just the right mixture with other flowers to make me wanna go roll around in a garden…Well not really the city girl in me would admire it from afar. But seriously, this is my new summer fragrance.
Speaking of Gardens, last Saturday I was in a funky mood because I had to work. As I walked towards the building, I smelled the most wonderful scent. I realized it was the new-planted bushes right outside the building. I got closer took a whiff and was so mesmerized, that I snapped on the lovely flowers off it’s vine. Gardenia is the flower and smelling it that day made me feel better about working on a weekend.
Taste:
Good Coffee….Only a coffee drinker can understand…but the first sip of a good cup….
A good piece of fruit…Nature got SWEET right! No cake, cookie or candy can compare to a ripe pineapple, cherries, strawberries or nectarines. I had some GREAT cherries this AM…A wonderful way to start the day!
I’m curious, what makes your heart smile?
Let me know,
With you on your journey,
