Smile....

it
takes
such
little
effort
to
smile...

Today, this mandala worked its way into my life....quickly...spontaneously...with little effort...before the message appeared....and it made me SMILE! Today, I am aware how little effort it takes to smile....to laugh....to love...to enjoy.... we can make things harder than they really are...we can pull our self down to depths of gloom so easily....and yet, it is so much easier to smile....it feels good...it makes your face feel good...it lifts you up to dreams of your wildest imagination....it brings sunshine and light into your life....SMILE....such a simple thing to do...and easy to find something to smile at every day....the fact that the sun shines brightly...that birds sing...that dreams manifest....that love is all around you in one form or another....that creativity is all within your own eyes...a memory...a dream.
Today, as I focus on smiling...I am aware that life with all its twists and turns gives us many opportunities to see the lighter part of it...we just need to be aware to see them....for every cloud has a silver lining as they say....every door that closes has an open window....Today, I smile allowing my heart to see all that brings happiness to me....and I pass that smile forward....
Artfully Yours,
Pattie
