What do you enjoy?
Winter can be a rough time. It is getting dark early where I live. It can be hard to stay motivated or active. It can feel cold and lonely.
What has made you smile today?
Can you name at least one thing that brings you joy?
I just want to remind you that YOU are an awesome person, and that the world is a better place with you in it!

D: some kind people here
@Optimisticempath You're so welcome! Great answers! I hope you find even more reasons to smile this week!
Thanks for this post @purplelady568 It has been a mixed winter in Minnesota. Some days the sun is shining and illuminating the white snow. Other days it's dark and dreary and they're calling school off due to bad weather.
My daughter gave me a hug tonight. That made me smile because usually I initiate the hugs, but this time she did 🙂 I felt joy that she actually enjoyed my pork chops dinner tonight. You see, my daughter is autistic and so picky she hardly likes anything so that was good.
@SweetPea321 aww I'm glad your daughter enjoyed dinner and gave you a hug! That is such a sweet way to show that she cares about you, and appreciates all the work you do at home.
I know what you mean about the weather making things feel dark and dreary. Some days I'd like to stay in my pjs with a fuzzy blanket and hibernate. How much snow do you all have on the ground now?
I'm not sure in inches how much snow we have, but it's piled up all around. Right now it's 0 degrees 🥶
I enjoy watching shows and movies with people I love!
@GeminiBlossom that sounds like a wonderful way to relax and spend time with your loved ones :)
What are your favorite type of movie or shows to watch? I'm always up for something new.
i enjoy traveling. it makes me understand the different cultures and people
@Moiz27 that's a good one. I enjoy traveling too. One of my goals this year is to visit new places.

My favourtite teacher makes me smile
cooking and colouring brings me joy
@toothles77 aww that is so sweet. What subject does your favorite teacher teach?
I love doing yoga and am in a teacher training class. Today, I teach a 30 minute class, and it’s my first time. I took this training for me, to self love and be more involved with what makes me happy. I’m so excited, nervous, worried, and over the moon all at the same time! It’s exhilarating and nerve-wracking! I’ve practiced and practiced. Now, I have to trust myself and my capabilities. 😊
@yardcarrot oh how exciting, your first time teaching yoga class! I hope it goes well and energizes you for more classes in the future!
@purplelady568
It did go very well! I practiced and really had it down, but of course, nervousness set in. Ha ha.
In the end, I did well, am proud of myself, and can now actually see myself teaching yoga. I wasn't so sure until yesterday! :)

Taking time for myself gave me the space to find my smile today.
