Smiling all the Way From A to Z -- L

I smile when I think of this emotion that starts with the letter L:

LOVE

It's video sharing time (Don't mind the Spanish subtitles, well, unless if you speak Spanish) ...

 

 

Moulin Rouge - Elephant Love Medley - Baz Luhrmann - 20th Century Fox

 

Doesn't this video just make you smile? I adore how it uses all sorts of love songs to form one masterful whole of a, well, love song. The song makes me smile because, yes, "love does make the world go round", it "lifts us up to where we belong", and "all you need is love."

 

I love all the people in my life from family to friends. They make me smile because I love them and they love me back, often times unconditionally. You, my followers and fellow A to Zers, all are pretty darn smile-worthy, too!

 

So, what are your favorite love songs? Do you speak Spanish? How was the translation from English to Spanish for Elephant Love Medley? Starting with the letter L, what makes you smile?

Smiling all the Way From A to Z -- A

I'm participating in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge. Here's the scoop: For the month of April, I am going to post something different from A-Z everyday, except for Sundays.

I thought long and hard about what I want my posts to focus on. My posts are going to be simple because 26 posts in one month is a lot, but a challenge I am willing to take. And I'm rather excited about joining forces with tons of great bloggers to make this challenge a huge success.

My posts are going to be about what makes me smile. I'd like you to comment about what makes you smile that coincides with the letter of the day, too. I figure writing is tough and if we can focus on the smiles, then this journey will be filled with letters full of happiness.

So today's letter, of course, is A.

It stands for ANIMALS.

Yes, simple but true. Whenever I take a look at an animal my face lights up with a grin. Animals are free from our mundane cares. They have simple lives--just eat, sleep, and poop. But what makes me smile the most about animals is how cute they can be. They can be fluffy, soft, rough, scraggly, among hundreds of other adjectives.

I like animals; although, some I wouldn't want to be alone in a room with. However, I have done a fair bit of back packing and have come across some really big bears on the trail. It's crazy to be so close to something so massive, wild and yet admire it for it's amazing cuteness.

Well, that's what makes me smile, letter A style.

What makes you smile that starts with the letter A?
