Smile-a-thon Challenge for Peaceful Awareness!

So today I am making a conscious effort to have a constant smile on my face as I go about my entire day.  It’s not a huge silly grin but a Mona Lisa smile….a half smile…a look of contentment, joy and peacefulness.  I am at one hour, thirty minutes and counting so far of doing this exercise and it is amazing, the awareness that it gives me as I do mundane tasks.  I find that it takes a little effort on my part to have this grin.  It makes me stop, notice my breath and appreciate my surroundings and what is happening in that MOMENT.  I appreciate life and God’s creation and it puts a smile on my face.  Smiling makes me aware and be in the moment rather than just existing and going about my daily routine without being aware and appreciative for life.

On my way into work, I sat at the intersection, at a red light, with a grin on my face taking in my surroundings, noticing my breath and loving life.  I noticed everyone’s face as they were making their left hand turns and driving past me in the oncoming traffic….everyone had this look of pain on their face it was sad, really sad…I’d look at one person and then glance in the mirror at my face with the grin on it and what a HUGE difference!  My light is shining today and my hope is that I can spread this peace, love and joy as I go about my day with the smile on my face.  I encourage everyone who reads this to try this smile-a-thon Challenge today and everyday.  We may not be in Hawaii right now but we can certainly appreciate our day and the life we have been blessed with and pass the blessings on to everyone around us through our joyful smiles!

Love ya! M’wah!
