Dave Bradley Shares His Top 5 Things To Make You Smile

In our world today, sometimes it is easy to get wrapped up in the negative things. I thought I would take this opportunity to share with you things that make me happy, make me smile, and things that simply make me glad to be alive. These things may seem crazy or nutty, but that's OK!

I am sure you have a list in your head right now of things that make you smile! I would enjoy hearing about the things that make your day better! Click here and share!

Ice Cream - No matter what type of day I have had, if I sit down in front of a bowl of ice cream it seems that all the troubles of the day seem to melt away. There is nothing better than feeling more like a kid!

Animals - I am an animal lover, from puppies to kitties, I even had an ant farm as a kid. I have always been amazed how no matter what my mood is, there's nothing better than looking into the eyes of an animal who does not judge all they want is to be with you. That is an amazing feeling. Probably would explain why I have two dogs today and treat them better than I treat myself.

Outdoor Beauty - When was the last time you simply pulled over your car or stopped walking long enough to look up into the sky? Sometimes, the most simple things can make you happy. A Sunset, meadow, or clouds can transport you to another place. I remember laying on the grass as a kid, and looking at the stars, and imagining what it would be like to be able to touch one. There is so much beauty here in Colorado that will make you feel amazing. Take a moment, stop and look. You might be surprised what you see.

Friends - People always make me smile. Always have, always will. Even if it is just one person at work, who takes the time to say hello. It puts a smile on my face. I love to learn about those around me and the best part, a hug, oh yeah, that makes my day!

Something Simple - A funny drawing, or something sent to me by someone on Facebook. To me, it is knowing someone took the time to think about me, and that immediately puts a smile on my face and makes me feel great. In return, of course, I think of others, and always attempt to connect and make them smile, even if for just one minute.

These are things that make me smile. Take some time today, and make yourself smile. I know once you do, you will have an amazing day!
