Things that are making me smile (and laugh!) today

8 January 2009

There are several things that I’ve seen or that I’m anticipating that are making me smile (some are making me laugh) today, so I thought I’d share. Because, really, who can’t use a smile?

I’ve signed up for the 2009 Virtual Retreat, presented by Jen Louden, aka The Comfort Queen. I’ve followed Jen’s work for several years now and am one of her followers on Twitter. (Her Twitter name is jenlouden.) The theme of the virtual retreat is Finding Calm, Confidence and Contentment in these Uncertain Times. How cool is that? I jumped at the chance to sign up for this four-day series of talks via the telephone from a variety of fabulous experts. For under $100, I get to tap into the knowledge of some great people (including Michael Neill, Steve Chandler and Havi Brooks).

I was on Craigslist yesterday and happened on this Cat Found! ad in the Best of Craigslist area (which is always good for a laugh). I’ve been chuckling over it ever since. Seriously, check it out. It made me laugh so hard I had tears running down my face.

I came across this Playing for Change: Peace through Music video of Stand by Me on YouTube again recently. It fills my heart and makes me smile. I blogged about Playing for Change last October.

And speaking of YouTube, I stumbled on this video of a sneezing panda while looking to show a friend the sneezing monkey on David Letterman. Anyway, this panda video made us laugh, hard. Since 28 million people have already viewed it, you may have, too, but here it is.
