Melanie loved apple pie and strawberries dipped in chocolate. She loved sunshine and the smell of rain and being in an airplane when it started to land. Melanie had a goal to smile about fifteen things every single day.

One day Melanie had a very hard day. She couldn't find a lot to smile about. The sun wasn't shining but the rain wasn't pouring either. She hadn't gone anywhere in a very long time. There were no birds singing and no interesting talk shows on the radio.


So Melanie made apple pie.


She took a bite.


That was all fifteen things to smile about in one.
