I haven't updated in a while and I don't have an excuse for that. I will try to make up for that.
My heart smiled today when I found out that I was accepted to be a Student Team Leader for a volunteer trip to New Orleans!
Receiving a text message from someone I hadn't heard from in a while and had thought had forgotten me also made my heart smile.
I will try to remember to update this again tomorrow.

Happiness is a form of courage. - Holbrook Jackson
Monday
Seeing my cat eating on her own and moving around a lot more made my heart smile because I realized she'll be fine after all.
Yesterday
Finishing everything I wanted to get done early made my heart smile (and made me feel way less stressed out).
Today
Getting my paper done! I wasn't sure if I would finish my paper tonight because I'm feeling really distracted and a little sick, but with a little bit of a push, I completed my paper with a smiling heart.

A peaceful life does not mean a life free of toil and suffering, rather it means living without being swayed no matter what happens...
... This is a state of true peace and happiness. - Unknown
I've been having a very bad weekend. My cat is very sick and the vet isn't entirely sure what is wrong. She has jaundice, and they're trying to determine what caused this. We're not sure how much longer we have with her, and of course, this makes me very sad.
But, with that being said, it's during times of struggles that I think it's most important for us to remember what we do have to be thankful for and especially what can still manage to bring a smile to our hearts.
Thursday
Having five toddlers jump all over me, while I pretend that they were knocking me down. There cheers of, "This is so funny!" and the huge smiles on their faces made my heart smile (and my body very sore the next day!).
Friday
Waking up to Gump sleeping right next to me in bed. Gump is not very cuddly and never sleeps in my bed, so to wake up and for him to be right next to my face, definitely made my heart smile.
When we realized that something was wrong with Forest, we weren't sure how we would get her to the vet, and didn't want to wait till the next day when mom could drive us. So we called our next door neighbour to see if she would give us a lift there. Having her go out of her way for my sister, Forest, and me, made me really appreciative of the people I have in my life. It made my heart smile to know that there was someone there for us during our time of need.
Saturday
Today is only half way over, so maybe I'll think of something better then. But for now, knowing that the vets are doing everything they can to find out what is wrong with Forest and squeezing us in like they are makes my heart smile.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
That quote is by Buddha.
Tuesday
Watching a two year old attempt the worm will always make my heart smile!
Wednesday
Being able to say that I finally finished writing an essay made my heart smile.
Thursday
After a long day filled with small things going wrong, it made my heart smile to have a nice conversation with one of my professors after class.

Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind. -Seneca
Yesterday
Finding out that I have been accepted to volunteer in Swaziland in May made my heart smile so much it almost exploded!
Today
I opened my email today and received a nice surprise email from a friend from my summer job after he heard that I was accepted for Swaziland:
It made my heart smile to not only receive the email, but also to read the ending about my school work.

To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world. - Charles Dudley Warner
A couple of days ago I was having problems with my wireless connection. I know that it sometimes help if you disconnect and then reconnect your computer. Well, apparently I didn't disconnect, but disabled. I hadn't realized that that's what I did, but did know that my wireless was no longer working. So today I made the trip up to the computer store and had a technician look at. When he told me he knew what was wrong and that it would take three seconds to fix it, my heart smiled!

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. -St. Augustine
Yesterday
My friend is going to France for eight months, and it was beginning to look like I wouldn't get to see her again before she leaves. However, yesterday after work I got a text message from her saying that she would be around. Luckily, we got together, and my heart smiled while I was enjoying a great lunch with her.
Also, my heart smiled when I successfully taught two two year olds how to hold a football, throw it straight down, and yell "TOUCH DOWN!", which they do so well now.
Today
It was the first tutorial for one of my classes. Because part of our grade is based on participation, the TA wanted to learn our names, so he had us go around the room and say something interesting about ourselves. Well, when it got to me, I couldn't think of anything interesting, so I said that I have two cats named Forest and Gump. It made my heart smile when the rest of the room laughed.
