What makes me smile ☺ 1. When I am able to make someone happy. 2. When I am satisfied with a job well done. 3. A child's infectious gurgling never fails to make me smile ☺ 4. God's expression of artistry in nature always makes me smile ear to ear. 5. Kindness shown to me or from me to the other always makes me smile. 6. Heartfelt appreciation brings a big smile on my face.
@RideaRainbow
Thanks for sharing these wonderful things with us. Children can truly be so funny 
Silliness makes me smile every time.
@courteousHuman4954
Being silly sometimes is not only fun but also healthy, so relaxing for the mind 
I am so tired of drs, they keep throwing pills so I can sleep, nothing seems to work, I I started having anxiety a mental break down in November the days I feel pretty decent but most days I feel like it's a tunnel that I just can't see the light at the end I try to sleep without pills and try to relax and read a book to take a bath and do mindfulness I wish that there was something that would work
@placidPlum3193
So sorry to hear about your struggles with getting sleep and anxiety. Days are hard when nights have been restless. Reading a book , taking a bath and do mindfulness sound great. Have you every thought about taking melatonin to support your sleep? Also yoga and tai chi are great stress relievers and a healthy diet along with a good sleep routine can be very helpful.
today was good
1- i cocked my lanuch although i am very bad cocker but i liked it :D
2- i remembered some funny memories with my sister
3- i saw some funny comics
4- talked with funny friend
hope you had a good day too :D
@omez125
Nice! Watching funny comics can be a great add to self healing
Things that make me smile
-how happy my dog is to see me when I get home from work.
-the hugs I get from children at work (I'm a chef in a preschool)
-the way I feel when I complete a piece of art
-my children (most of the time)
-my cat, she's so incredibly affectionate
@bouncyHope6383
Those are amazing reasons to smile, it must feel heart warming to get the hugs from the little ones
@amiablePeace77 yes, small children hug because they like hugs and they like and trust you. My kids are mostly grown up so they hug very differently, still great though :)
@bouncyHope6383
Enjoy them both
When somebody says that he likes me or prefer me to be his compagnon or when a child says something nice to me.
@DinaElwy
I can relate, it feels good if someone tells you they like you, especially hearing it from a child, they have such a cute way to say things.
I am doing pretty good the day is flying by and I spent the morning watching sports. The past few nights I slept pretty well the things that bother are pretty petty but with patience I work through them
@sillyrabbit7
Nice to hear you're well and that you feel positive.
Hard to read blue words on a black background. Did I smile I dunno.
@amiablePeace77 when 2 people cannot agree on facts, I just have to smile.
Seeing animals do unique things makes me smile.
Ice Cream makes me smile
Getting chores done makes me smile
When I do the same thing again that I said I wouldn't, I have to smile.
@soulsings
Some animals can be true acrobats, comedians and artists, very unique
@amiablePeace77, 1. a garden after I've done work in it, 2. Chloe the cat when she is playing with her toy mice, 3. really good music that moves me to dance, 4. making an intelligent decision that pays off in aces, and, 5, hearing reasoning that supports me in a way that i really needed.
@purpleTree4652
Great points to smile indeed! I can totally relate to music and wanting to "move" the body
