Top smiles of 2010
The end of a year begs for lists, so despite sharing a list with you yesterday, I'm here with another today. This time it's ...
My top 9 smile-inducers of 2010
Bubby. Always. In all ways!
Jim's support, with comments such as, "You really shouldn't try to get a job. Keep writing. I have a feeling things are going to take off for you this year."
Brianna moving into her own first home ... which was the first home Jim and I owned ... which was a weensy bit weird ... yet wonderful.
Signing with an agent. A real NYC agent. (Stay tuned for the miles o' smiles when she gets my work accepted for publication!)
My splendiferous end-of-summer adventure with Bubby.
Andrea getting an awesome new position that makes the most of her people skills and winning ways.
Megan and Preston announcing that baby No. 2 -- grandson No. 2! -- is on his way. Hip-hip-hooray!
Celebrating Thanksgiving with my entire immediate family for the first time in several years.
Grandma's Briefs readers. Grandma's Briefs Facebook friends. Grandma's Briefs Twitter followers. That's you ... and you ... and YOU!
I can't wait to see what calls forth all the sure-to-come smiles in 2011. Whatever they may be, I look forward to sharing them with you.
Happy New Year! Best wishes for peace, prosperity, love -- and lots of smiles -- for all in 2011!

My Smiles: my husband, all of my grandchildren, my mom and you did too Lisa along with the other bloggers. You really have wrote some pretty funny things. Please continue to do so. It jump starts my morning and gets me through the rest of the day with a smile on my lips. :-)
I can honestly "Ditto" Janet...well, not HER children, grandchildren and Mom but mine. Including you and your blog.
Love all your smiles!
My smiles: Seeing my Dad and sister after over 5 years, reconnect with old, dear friends (you, for one!), and starting my blog.

Getting the surprise of my life, finding I was going to be a mom
JANET, ANN, TERRI, PAM (ha! that's rather lyrical!): Thank you for flattering me! You've provided today's biggest smile!
My family-immediate and extended, my retirement from FMCC and semi-retired status and posts from Grandma's Briefs. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!
Lots of smiles in 2010, but mostly a big smile about being fortunate enough to have lots to smile about. Your post is a good reminder for us all to smile more.
What a great year you've had! Congrats on getting an agent. That's quite an accomplishment these days. And, congrats on the new grandson that's coming. They are such fun! Happy New Year, my friend.
You make me smile...that's why I keep coming back! Also, my sweet Shylee, spending a weekend in NYC with my daughter and sister and the few times the family was all together at the same time!
Anytime my grandkids are around there are lots of smiles.
