What Made Me Smile This Week (June 3 – 9): New Beginnings and Bittersweet Endings
Sometimes, fate has a strange symmetry to it. Who would have guessed that I would be celebrating a birthday and funeral in the same week? It’s at times like these that I start taking stock of my life and wondering both where it will go and what I have accomplished so far. I haven’t done…
What Made Me Smile This Week (May 27 – June 2): Clouds and Silver Linings

What Made Me Smile This Week (April 29 – May 5): Fun, Friends, and Christmas Come Early
There is always a certain indescribable thrill about getting new packages in the mail. Keeping that in mind, you will understand why I was utterly jubilant this week when I (sort of) received two in the mail. Lucky me! More importantly, I got to meet up with an old friend this week. An afternoon together…
What Made Me Smile This Week (April 22 – 28): The Second Home Homecoming
So, I’ve been doing weekly smiles for a while now. Overall, I am fairly happy with the result. I came to this project with two goals in mind: first, I wanted to practice learning to be happy. Second, I wanted to establish a writing habit. The first goal has shown me something. I don’t have…
