It doesn't take a lot for me to smile about something. It can be something as small as having a milkshake, fresh bedsheets, or a game of catch on the beach with friends. However there is one small thing which makes me ridiculously happy.... wrapping presents. Everyone loves receiving presents but for some reason I have a freakish love for wrapping....
It's not just the wrapping its the look on peoples faces when they get really pretty looking presents. Christmas is like a heaven for wrapping, this year more than ever I had people asking me to wrap their presents for them, clearly it's not everyone's cup of tea!
But more than just wrapping a present, putting together something nice for someone and seeing how pleased they are with you when you have gone to the effort... surely not many things get better than that!
So this week was my boyfriends birthday, he's been away working but is finally coming home tomorrow (^^ hence the wrapped presents! ^^) so I have set aside time today to wrap his present bake him a birthday cake...
and most importantly decorate the house ready for his return! (I would show you the decorations but just in case he happens to read this before he gets home I don't want to ruin the surprise!)
Why not join me and put some effort into something for someone else, it could be anything from baking some cupcakes, to just making the effort to pick up the phone to see how someone is, you never know how a small act of kindness can effect someone's day. Think of all the times someone has even just smiled and its made you feel better!
Lets spread some more happiness in the world this weekend! And don't forget to think of your 20 positive things! (if you haven't been reading my blog regularly then you need to catch up!)
:) have a lovely weekend, and most importantly keep smiling! :)
