This month I'm embracing the forgotten smile.  I've recently remembered how much there really is to laugh in this world.  Noting it also makes me more observant of all the fun I have everyday too.  Here are a few of my laughs of the month, hopefully it inspires some in you too.  BTW, did you know that you smiling helps other people to smile too!  Wow, who knew it was that easy to make the world a little happier.

Add your laughs of the month below too...let's keep giving people things to smile about!

One of our smallest (and maybe cutest) CSA members...no offense to any of you other cuties;)

1.  One day just realizing that I work for myself and can take a break whenever I want!  Wow, why had I not thought of this before?  Just the thought of this put a HUGE smile on me face:)  I shortly there after proceeded to sign up for a gym membership mostly just for the hot tub and sauna privileges, hehe!  Well rockin' out to Michael Jackson in the middle of the day is pretty fun too;)  This girl feels like a Queen!!

2.  Inventing a piece of fitness equipment with the on-site fitness instructor that has 'holy smokes' and 'wtf' buttons! We also thought it might be cool to have an eject button to allow you to try flying!  We're now working on the patents;)

3.  Offering to translate my dad's new meds using my broken Spanish.  Suggesting to him (with a totally straight face) 'it says to take it rectally but only if you aren't lactating'.  'Really!!!?' he replies cringing, then calls my grandparents to confirm, haha.  Since when does he ever believe anything I say??

4.  Trying to surprise my farmer friend on the farm.  Going up to a closed door and mooing in my best 'cow-voice' (pretending to be the cow of course).

5.  Discussing prosperity with a friend, during which he starts dropping $50 and $20 from his pocket!  Seriously...sort of serendipitous and also just hilarious.  I gave him a hard time...cause I can:)

6.  Not saying a word to someone but exchanging the most powerful of smiles.  Well with that there was nothing left to say:)

7.  Rekindling an awkward and distant relationship with my brother, having a heartfelt conversation and being able to tell him, "I'm glad you're my brother" and really meaning it:)

8.  Hearing the story of a friend who tried to render lard in his house!  After complaining his house smells like a pork chop and that he can't get the grease off the walls, we kindly suggested he rub against the wall for an all natural body lotion or bottle his own bacon fragrance, haha:)

9. Ordering my seed - and then exhaling in delight!!  Red carrots, shallots, turnips and more spinach coming your way this summer:)

10. After too many years to count finally conceptualizing and building a wellness program!  Wow, what a totally amazing feeling when you can feel your dreams turning into reality:)  I'll keep yah posted...!

11. Somehow managing to get lost while walking in my own neighbourhood and having to ask for directions!  I live here really (and I was completely sober:)

12.  Walking, walking and then sprinting!!  Just cause.  Then contemplating if I should enter the walking part of the Olympics - how hard can that be?  Just kidding I'm sure they 'train', hehe:)

13.  My old boss.  Just cause he is the goofiest 'serious' person I know.  Oh Roger, I try to take you 'seriously' but you just make it too hard:)

14. Accidentally cooking a twist tie with my dinner!  Opps, I blush in embarrassment!

15.  Washing my yoga mat in the car wash.  I wonder if I'm the only one??  After trying everything it did work though, wahoo!

16. Receiving this email from a friend...."You easily & effortlessly live the life of your grandest desires. LIFE IS MEANT TO BE FUN!"  Wow...how could I not smile and feel the love after reading this!  Thanks Jeanette - I feel special and inspired to go kick some butt (if needed of course;)

17.  Proudly displaying my "If only I was rich instead of beautiful" notebook at meetings and just waiting for someone to comment on it.  If no one notices quickly turning to the next page, "Sometimes I get so frustrated I don't know whether to cry, scream, or wet my pants!" haha.  Too great:)

18.  Dancing around the house to the new theme song of my life - "Do yah thing" -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_n1FHX3mBw

19. Asking a girlfriend on a 'date'!  After she thankfully said yes, I curiously asked if she prefers chocolate or flowers?  hehe.

20.  Being told I made someone smile today!

Keep spreading smiles (and the love;)

Farmer Candace

My new notepad.  What do you think...beauty or riches??  How about both!! hehe

I did it!  Got my certified organic papers in the mail:)

The friendliest barn cat ever.  Either that or its claws were just stuck on me so it couldn't get off:)

Pfenning's Kale!!  Miles of goodness:)

The nipple bucket.  This was just too hilarious not to get a picture, hehe.  I didn't try drinking from it although I was curious, hehe.
