Ten things that make me smile when I’m not happy:

1. Anne Marie telling me her favorite joke — “A man spilled soup all over his head.” Yes, that is the whole joke, not just the start.
2. A nice, sunny day that’s not too hot.
3. Planning a trip.
4. Hiking.
5. Thomas’s awesome dance moves.
6. A good comedy.
7. A phone call or e-mail from a friend.
8. Looking at photos of my kids.
