Smile-Worthy

This morning Mom made me smile, and I just knew that today was going to be a good day. I was right. Today was great. I think optimism is taking over my life, but let me tell you one thing. I don't care. Everything is just smile-worthy.

Little Things That Made Jen Smile Today

• Mom reminding me of her kindness & compassion
• The Fellow Five. Bonding time, spending time together laughing about nothing & enjoying life
• Trisha's face, no lie. Compliment, Missy. Compliment.
  
• Seeing a stranger drop a penny. When I tried to return it, she just handed it to me & gave me an extremely genuine smile
• Hello Kitty (Got my Hello Kitty fix at the downtown store. Love. & They were playing "That's What You Get"!)
• Dropping my Jamba giftcard, then seeing a little girl pick it up & return it to me. Kids are some of the kindest people in the world. It's great to see that kindness through someone
  
• The work ethic (Is that the right word?) of a Starbucks employee (Even though he was no Tim or Elizabeth)
• Grande light iced chai tea latte with soy milk. Sorry Tully's, but it's totally better from Starbucks. Why yes, my name is Trisha. Thank you for noticing.

• Film & digital cameras at Urban Outfitters & DIY photo book. I have no idea how long I was there, but it was worth all the time. Love.

• Drunk list & shot glasses
• Learning to boo UCLA & cheer for USC
• Awesome wallet. No lie.

• Motorcyclist that completely matched his motorcycle. He blasted music without a care in the world & seemed to hold so much confidence
• Friendly tourists. They have so much joy in everything & view things from a completely different perspective
• Walking by nice music, but having no idea what the songs are. Music can stop a person dead in their tracks, literally
  
• Paying youth fare on the bus
• Strangers' selfless love towards others & heroic actions! A man jumped down onto the train tracks to get a lady's cell phone
• An old Asian couple. They were sitting next to each other, showing love that gravitated towards me. They weren't holding hands, but it was in the way they talked to each other that I knew they loved each other (Remember I can't understand anythings besides English)
• Taxis, Yellow cars, Out of state license plates, and Jump-for-Funs
• Being welcomed into a house!
• Joanna being Joanna
• Jenn's old-school toy collected. Toy Story, Rugrats, Mulan, Classic-vintage Hello Kitty. So much fun just to be a little kid again

• The noise old keyboards make. It's like taking a trip back in time
• The decorated house with the Friendship Bench
  
• Lydia's happiness. Believe me when I say how genuine it is.
• Adventurous drinks. Blueberry Milk Tea
• Memories from way-back when
  
• Rockband. That's What You Get & Chop Suey (Ran out of time for BYOB)

Maybe I should make Smile-Worthy lists more often. I really enjoyed this. & never fear, I won't write as much next time. I got way carried away because today was such a great day. & sorry it's photo heavy, but trust me. I took way more pictures than this.

& Urban Outfitters is a pretty cool store. Sure, I've been in there a few times, but I guess I just headed straight to the clothes. Their other stuff is madd (with two D's) cool. I have to say those cameras stole a chunk of my heart. Sorry, Future Husband.
