What am I up to...?

Here it is in all of its glory. My desk (and life) as of 10 minutes ago:

So now, ask me again how I stay out of trouble?

Simple things...

Yes it is the simple things in life that spread the smile onto our faces. It is like the mom I saw at the bus stop today. As I zipped by in my car, she ran back and forth on the sidewalk in an insane pattern. She held something tightly--a young child. The little boy she clasped, extended his arms out from his sides as if he was an airplane. Back and forth they went, both smiling and laughing. Who knows how long they flew in their bizarre flight pattern. While the other waiting bus riders sat slumped on the hard hot benches, this woman was taking the opportunity to enjoy her child and the often overlooked simple joy of being alive. Thank you little boy's mom, you put a smile on my face!
