I had several smiling moments today, but I think I'll focus on two.

The first was starting a new book in the morning. There's nothing like cracking open a brand new book and delving into the adventure that awaits! For those who are curious, the book is St. Urbain's Horseman by Mordecai Richler. Thirty-seven pages in, and I'm already excited to see what will happen! It's pretty much a given that my heart will smile every time I pull a book off of my "to be read" shelf and start to read it.

The second was watching Toy Story 3 with my sister. I wasn't sure if we'd be seeing it this weekend. The original plan of going on Friday didn't work out, and this morning was looking rather dreary, we were slow moving, and I was pretty tired. If I had been given the option, I probably would've passed and suggested we wait till another time (which we all know means it will never happen). But, that option was thankfully never suggested by my sister and so we went. And we loved it! It served as a reminder to me that it's a good idea to force myself to do things even when I'm feeling lazy. My heart was smiling while I was out with my sister, eating buttery popcorn, and watching Woody and Buzz in 3D.
