Friday Quote and What Puts a Smile on Your Face?
I was going to post something entirely different today and then I read the inspirational quote that gets delivered to my inbox daily.
A day without laughter is a day wasted. - Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) English-born Comedic Actor and Director
What a perfect way to end the week, I thought, with a list of what makes you laugh and smile. So often I talk to people and the conversation is negative, filled with complaints, thoughts of what could be, and rarely does the conversation include all that is going well. It takes much less energy to smile than it does to frown or furrow your brow. So take a moment to think about your own life, what’s going well, and specifically what puts a smile on your face. Think of one thing each day that makes you smile. Your entire world may become a little bit brighter as a result.
Here’s my list, in no particular order:
- Snuggling with my cats (see picture above “The Boys”, Mr. Bob (left) and Habibi)
- My husband Michael
- Sitting in my backyard and reading a book
- Dancing/listening to my favorite tunes
- A jog on a bright, warm, sunny spring morning
- My new running playlist
- Hanging out with my niece, nephew and the rest of the family
- Writing about anything
- My morning meditation
- Camping, hiking and outdoor adventure activities
- A great comedy show
- My home
- Recognizing my own abilities
- Weekly “marketing” meetings via email, phone or in person with friends KBK, Jess and Leanna
- Noticing the good in other people.
- Upcoming week long retreat at Kripalu
- Ice cream outing at Nona’s
What puts a smile on your face? Share here and let’s spread the smiles, joy and laughter. Have a great weekend!
I had no idea that Nona’s has a website! My ‘boys’ snuggling make me happy too. It’s just so freaking cute. Have fun on your retreat!
