The Little Things That Make Me Smile

I have had a hard year. My grades have been better, my best friend hit her head and couldn't skate for six weeks, and my grandpa died 11 days before Christmas. It took me a while, but I am slowly bouncing back, and in the process learning how many things that I have to be grateful for. I go to a good school in a nice neighborhood. I have neighbors so close they feel like family. I have too many friends to count. So I will try my hardest to post something that makes me smile every day. Most of it is just memories- little things that would mean nothing to someone else. But I hope that in sharing the little joys in life with everyone else, I open their eyes as well as mine to how lucky we really are.
