“Living Your Life with Smiles & Light”

  With some giggles and laughter, too. 

 

Will our days of conflict and turmoil ever end? I find it would be surprising if tiredness , frustration, confusion, depression, anger  didn't describe some of the ways we're feeling as these days continue "with no end in sight."

Can our Prayers help us feel better about ourselves, family, (especially children & elders), co-workers and the world itself?

Let's take a step back and spend some time lightening up and disengaging from the 'chaos' of our country.

Let's refresh, renew, and revitalize our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy to be able to make it through each brand new day.

 

So, forget about being an adult.  Just for a few minutes each day.  You can do it. Don’t read the newspaper, except for the Comics.  Turn off your cell phone.  Let your phone go to Voicemail. Don’t open your emails. Change the TV news to the Cartoon channel.

 

You say you can’t live without technology?  Remember, it hasn’t been that many years ago, you lived and breathed every day without the technology. 

It hadn’t been invented, yet. 

OK, have I convinced you to put aside techno stuff, at least for a little while?  Now, you can spend some time  “Living Your Life with Smiles and Light.”

 

Looking for ways to bring a little smiles & light into your daily life?
Then, try doing some of these “goofy” things just for fun.

 

Question:  Are you 30 feeling like 60? Or, 60, feeling like 30?

Then, whichever way you see yourself, add some 'Vim, Vigor & Vitality' to your daily routine. 

                1.  Be a walrus.  Stick a straw in each nostril & ear. Walk around flapping your flippers.

                2.  Paint a picture.  Color the sky green, grass blue, the ocean orange, with yellow polka dots. 
                     How about a purple canary?

                3.  Stick a lollipop to your nose.  

                4.  Surprise your partner.  Walk up and tickle him / her under the chin, and say, "Kitchy, Kitchy, Koo."

                5.  Whatever you do to be silly, be grateful and thank God that you're able to smile, giggle & laugh to ignore the 
                     "ugly" of today's world.


 “5” more ways to put smiles and light into your day . . .    

1.       Stand on your head with both hands tied behind your back, and 'burp red jelly beans.'
        Impossible you say?  Did you just smile at the absurdity of it?

                  2.     Dance with your dog or cat in the bathroom, in the tub.

                3.        Put on mis-match Snoopy, Ziggy, Miss Piggy, or Garfield socks. A different one on each foot. Make them 

                          visible and wear them to the grocery store or pharmacy.

                 4.     Got milk?  Get a straw and blow bubbles in it.  Chocolate is even better

                    5.          Whatever you do to put smiles and light into your daily life, do it with God.   

                   Note.  I use the name God.  You may prefer to use such names as Higher Power, Allah, Yahweh, Creator, Almighty, 
                              Divine Intelligence,  etc.


Save and add  these “5” earlier ways to put smiles and light into your day . . .

1.       Put polka dots on your golf-, basket-, base-, soccer,- foot- ball.

2.       Walk like a penguin.

3.       Sit naked in the middle of a bunch of travel guides and books  (remember them?) on far-away places you dream of going to.

4.       Look in the mirror.  Grin.  Smile. Chuckle.  Laugh.  Now, go ahead, nobody will see you . . . giggle and blow yourself 3 kisses.

5.       Whatever you do to put smiles and light into your daily life, do it with God.   

               Note.  I use the name God.  You may prefer to use such names as Higher Power, Allah, Yahweh, Creator, Almighty, 
                           Divine Intelligence, etc.
