What Made Me Smile This Week:Sunday 5/12: Hannah’s dad and her brother, Steve, spent a few hours today digging and constructing a new paved pathway for me where we park our van. Before this improvement, my wheels often got stuck in the mud that bordered the narrow path. Now, thanks to their beautiful work, I have plenty of room to maneuver atop the concrete. Their kindness made me smile.Monday 5/13: We switched to a new internet provider because they were offering faster speeds at a cheaper price. Uploading a 2GB vlog to YouTube previously took about 20 minutes, and I was mostly happy with that speed. Tonight, I tested (unleashed?) our new speeds, and a 2.4GB vlog uploaded in 57 seconds. I’m sitting here stunned and smiling.Tuesday 5/14: A friend of mine was discharged from the hospital after a long, challenging fight with pneumonia. It made me smile.Wednesday 5/15: My mom texted me a video of a dove (pigeon? bird? I don’t know the difference.) violently bobbing its head into the bowl of bird food she left in her feeder. The thing looked like it was attempting to grind the seeds with its face, but I think it was just excited for fresh food. It made me smile.Thursday 5/16: Our first 80 degree day of the year made me smile. I can’t wait for warmth.Friday 5/17: Hannah and I watched a pretty terrible horror movie tonight called The Witch. As the film concluded, I thought it was going to end with this big powerful message (I’ll withhold the details in case you feel like wasting two hours), but the ending fizzled into what felt like the lamest path it could have taken. However, I did smile several times at the film’s ability to gradually build tension and keep me on my toes.Saturday 5/18: Tonight we cooked the greatest dish we’ve ever made as a couple. Parmesan mushroom risotto. It was creamy and soft and bursting with flavor. Every single bite made me smile.
