What Made You Smile Today?
My boyfriend came home for a bit today and we napped. We rarely ever sleep without at least some physical contact and it always makes me think about how otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't float away. At one point, we were sleeping with our backs pressed together and it felt nice. And then I rolled over and he looked just right. He always looks just right.
There's beauty in the smallest moments. Find it. Hold onto it. It will save you when everything else is crumbling around you. ❤

Reading this melt my heart. It's really so sweet, I'm glad you had this small beautiful moment.
@PedroMAlves1992
Thanks! I have a lot of these moments. Because I have tried to train my brain to look for things that are good instead of bad, especially when I'm having hard times. It's not always fool-proof, but it usually helps. ☺
@Xjanex
It reminds me of my relationship with my cat. In a good way, knowing I'd be cuddling my cat soon keeps me going sometimes
@Iamwhoiam94
That's lovely. We have 3 cats. If we owned a home, we would probably have a zoo by now. 😹
I talk a lot about gratefulness because it's probably the best change I ever made to my life: learning to look for things to be grateful for, even when, especially when, things are hard. When I was single and I had a rough day, I would come home and love my cats and say, "At least kitties have fuzzy bellies."
If you practice it enough, it becomes a compulsive habit-- like, you can actually re-wire your brain, to some extent, to look for good things instead of getting stuck in the loop of negative thinking.
My girlfriend, the fact that Christmas is coming, and many many other small little things... I am an easy-smile person
@PedroMAlves1992
That's a great quality to have-- finding it easy to smile. There are lots of wonderful, beautiful things in the world to take joy in.
Enjoy your Holiday! 🎄
@Xjanex
That's great to hear, my friend, a very positive, hopeful and healthy attitude, kudos to you! Actually, to both of you.
Thanks, enjoy your Holidays as well! 🤶🎄🎅
My grandmother has made an album for me from when I was very little and gave it to me as Christmas present. We looked at it with her and grandpa today and I realized how much these people have loved me all my life and, god, I'm on the verge of happy tears now, again :D
@Iamwhoiam94
That's so beautiful! I'm very happy for you, that you got to receive and acknowledge and share so much love. 😀❤

I havent really smiled today.
@PsychoTheraPlay
I don't think I smiled yesterday either. Yesterday was hard.
Old friends on 7cups made me smile today alot...though I am not allowed to show my appreciation...
see my friends because it was a long time without see them together
The day isnt over yet but so far I havent smiled a true smile over anything.
I smiled today, because of recognitions.
