I wonder how many smiles appear when the latest post of The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally shows up (even when it’s late, like today)?
In a Coping and Healing telehealth group today, the mindfulness exercise was focusing on smiles. We talked about how even a fake smile can get endorphins going and improve somebody’s mood.
Smiles are particularly difficult to come by these days because of
- tension,
- stress,
- worry,
- fear,
- uncertainty,
- discomfort,
- loss, and
- masks.
How many smiles can you find in these recent photos?
You may need to click on some of those smaller photos to look for smiles, but smiles are always worth looking for.
Here‘s a song about smiles:
I’ll smile if you leave a comment and I hope gratitude makes you smile.
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Maybe my poem will bring you a smile 😀
Lost In Space
I’m leaving this land of lost grace
And flying off into space
It’s time to run-away
My airship left yesterday
Love is a stowaway in the heart
And love needs a head start
Somewhere in this universe
There’s love in the shepherd’s purse”
Thanks for the smile, Ivor.
