I had a particularly tough day at work today.  Things just didn’t seem to get on track and there were a dozen or so different people who wanted a piece of me today.  I did the best I could to exhibit patience and understanding even when others were not so kind. 

This blog has grown over the last year into something fun and entertaining (at least to myself) and the fact that I just crossed over my 1500th visit is pretty cool.  At least a few of you are enjoying it also since there are close to 100 people who’re coming back at least twice a week and there are at least ten new visitors each week (mostly through emailed posts).  So, with all of this increased traffic there are at least a few of you who can relate to the kind of day I’ve had. 

So, after a long day, I sit down to collect my thoughts and think about the day and realize there’s always one pick-me-up I can turn to for a smile.   It happens to be the smile of one Ryan Timothy Austin.  Honestly, everyone go ahead and bookmark this page so that when you’re stressed you can look at this and get some relief.  I might also try jumping in a pile of leaves… looks like fun.
