For next week's hodge podge challenge !!!

Title says : so many reasons to smile
Journalling says (sorry for bad translation !) : the past weeks have been really tough for me. I have often been tired, discouraged, sometimes bitter. This picture helps me change the way I look at my life, and see it with a smile in my eyes : 1. I have two sparkling kinds, full of life, joy and energy 2. I have support and trust from the man I love 3. There is not a single day in my life without laughter thanks to the three of them 4. I live exactly where I have chosen to live 5. As imperfect as it is, my country is still a free country.
