Was that a smile I spotted?
Flitting across your ace face.
Flirting with your ears.
Felt familiar.
What was it doing?
A stumble upon smile or is it home made?
Do you have permission for that? A licence?
It looks powerful.
Is it coming back?
Have you realised that you are able to take more fun and happiness?
You didn’t deliberately say to yourself, “I’m going to smile a lot”, did you?
Could contact with that smile be a catalyst?
Be cautious. Smiles are contagious.
More difficult to remove than a coffee stain once established.
Outrageous joy is a possibility.
Do you want to end up with a reputation for being happy? You might become known for it … famous even.
Try to choose and focus on and expand as many downbeat and depressing thoughts as you can. Self-created spam!
Come on, you know it’s easy-pleasy. Before you know it, if you’re not relatively awake, you can spend a whole hour in negative aspects. Minimum. All cosy and comfortable, focusing on what you don’t want, or the lovely lack of what you want. It’s more fun just outside your comfort zone, but so what, when you can stay in choosing to be miserable. You’re so able at being miserable, it’s easy, why, you don’t even have to consciously think about it, it just comes naturally, because you’ve practiced. It’s easy to slide down the slippery spiral. Watch out, your smile is catching, it may go viral.
Life feels good to you, but, go on, worry that something will happen that will take that good feeling away. Why play; why waste a smile. If you do the uncomfortable thing long enough, it will become comfortable, then you can be happy being miserable and smiles won’t bother your face as much (they make my cheeks hurt).
I know you’re wise enough to not hide behind a smile and say, “I’m happy,” when you’re not. You expand your awareness of where you’re actually vibrating now, meaning you accept and acknowledge truthfully how you really feel right now. Then you deliberately declare what you prefer and go about finding that feeling place with a tickle of a smile that says, if I don’t like where I am, I look to where I want to go. You purely look to that true feeling place that you prefer, that place that makes you purrr, and grin like a cheshire cat!
You focus on your wonderland, Your Cafe of Dreams.
Oh my, is it a sin to grin?! Like a cat, for no reason, in every season, is that treason, a crime against complaining?
Beware of those smiles. Those cheeky bite-sized beauties of feel-good.
You can remove your smile for a while, if you work hard. Though you can’t remove it for good.
The choice is yours.
You get to choose how you focus. Me-WOW! So, you get to chose how you feel. Oh, forget that.
What if the smile comes back sooner than you think?
Be aware … of smiling. You might give The Feel-Good to someone.

Wow, I’d forgotten that I was once a Cheshire cat lol. That is so amazing, and so powerful….how my cat smile has reappeared. :o)

We all have a cat smile! Wherever we’re from!
Sometimes, like a cat, it reappears at the most unexpected times … and isn’t that fun!
Remember, it’s Me-Wow!
By the way, when we’re from The State of Appreciate, it is a state of godliness … and grinning! Give it a go!
Let’s get giddy with more grinning and giggling!
Let’s make lists of things that inspire a smile.
I’m going to begin with ‘Karen’s Comment’.
Thank You for uplifting my smile.
Appreciation abounds,

Ok, how about this:
When you get a phonecall, text, email and it’s from someone extra special to you at that time. To know they’ve been thinking of you and making sure you know it….what a feeling

Oh Yes! So delicious! What a feeling
And, let’s be sure to do that for others.

The Tigger song……so bouncy!

I’m appreciating being reminded of that song
What a memorable experience that song is!
A colorful character indeed.
What wonderful imagination to create such a being, such music, such lyrics, such animation, … ! Much to appreciate.
As the tune bounces through my brain, I spontaneously smile!
