I write a "birthday blog" each year on the birthdays of my children.
Today is Annie's 22nd birthday!
As the years go on, I sometimes struggle to come up with a theme
for the birthday blogs that I haven't done before. Last night, I looked
back to prior years in search of inspiration.
In 2016, I wrote about Annie's smile. She has a great smile!
Take a look back to last year's blog here!
Almost all of the pictures were depicting Annie's "big" smile.
This year I'd like to focus on Annie's "other" smile.
She's had it since she was very young.
As I looked through so many photos from the past,
I wondered just when Annie uses her "other" smile.
Perhaps when she is being flirty?
Or maybe when she feels proud of herself?
Or possibly she's extremely excited but a little unsure of herself?
Maybe it's when she's surrounded by people she loves.
I know that sometimes it is very mischievous!
Whatever the circumstance, I love it!
Her smile makes me smile.
Wow!
There have been many times during the past year
when Annie's smile hasn't come as easily.
I'm glad those times are now in the past.
The coming year will be a time of endings
and new beginnings. Annie will graduate in May
and move on to a new time in her life.
The best thing about a smile is
she can take it with her wherever
she decides to go next!
Happy Birthday, dearest Annie!
Keep on smiling!
