MariJ Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 With so many sad and horrific things happening in the world, I sometimes find it hard to stay positive. But one thing that really can change a day, moment or experience is a smile. Whether given, received or even observed on other people, smiles can change moods, situations and your entire day. And, they are so easily shared! Inspiyr.com says: “Studies suggest that smiling, forced or not, can have a positive effect on your mood, decrease stress levels and even make everyone around you feel better. What happy news!” So, today’s challenge is all about smiling. You can scrap a pretty smile; a story, person or photo that made you smile or something you experienced that brought a big grin to your face. If you have trouble starting you can scrap one of these quotes or your own favorite: "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy." ~Thich Nhat Hanh “Life is Better When You’re Laughing.” Maya Angelou” When you are finished, please post your layout in the Weekend Challenge Gallery for all of us to enjoy. Have fun and I’m sure we’ll see SG smiles beaming across the globe! Here’s my layout: Ali WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeisme Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 TMI alert: In 1976 I gave birth to a son. My life was not suitable for a child so he was given for adoption. Before I met my son or the attorneys I stopped by a small chapel. I yelled at God. You know, cause all of this was his fault, right? I proceeded to the 'lets make a deal' stage. I told Him that I loved my son as much as He loved His son. He eventually got His son back, therefore I wanted my son back. I promised to never have another child. I'd just wait for Him to return this one. 26 years later, God made good on our "deal". Isn't He just the most WONDERFUL ? My son Chris and I were elated. He was adopted by a wonderful family but as with many adoptees, he felt like something was missing. I could go on and on about what an amazing role that genetics play but then I'd have to publish the book. I didn't notice until now; I need to add SMILES to my 'list of likeness'. We all 3 laugh....a lot..... yet when it comes to a camera, we act all civil. Pfffft Wanna hear something wicked weird? I haven't spoken to Chris in about 2 months. When this post was started, he started texting me. Freaked me a little, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
