are you smiling? :-)

Hello and welcome to Sunday night! Whew. The weekend is just about a done deal. I gotta say it was VERY productive and good. Yes!

I hope your days off were filled with lots of smiles. As I ran errands this weekend, I made lots of observations. And thankfully, all of them made me smile. I'd like to share a few. I also had fun using my new camera that my dear one got me for Christmas. I just love photography. It's the best thing ever. ;-)

I took this shot walking down Mercer Avenue in Jersey City. Brownstones are awesome.

I'm fascinated with trees these days. The beauty of this one made me smile.

The oh-so-cool window of my favorite French Restaurant, Jolie, in Brooklyn.

This red wreath looks so pretty against the black door. Smiling....:-)

This classic picture of my mom holding my baby sister makes my heart happy!

A few things I couldn't capture on film this weekend delighted me too.

***While riding the subway, I overheard a mother saying "yes, sweetie" to her young daughter. I can't describe how giddy it makes me feel to hear parents speaking so kindly to their children. Engaging kids is so essential. Like feeding their souls. :-)

***Another beautiful scene on the train yesterday was a father and young son, about 7 years old, both reading a book. Double-smiles! Seeing a young boy reading magnifies my joy and seeing a boy with his dad is just extra~wonderful.

***Personal tiny triumphs this weekend: I had my first fitting for my wedding dress. I'm smiling!!! I also had 2 cake tastings, and made a decision on which one. Delish! This bride-to-be role is kinda splendid. Lots of details, but still makes ya smile. :)

Your turn. What's making you smile right now?

Sending sweet vibes your way. Tag you're it!
