Just watched American Idol have to say it made me smile... I don't know I believe garbage in garbage out. If I don't watch the news I find I don't get as bummed and shows that make me smile go a long way. Have to admit I love comedies, and happy movies...

I am a smiling, laughing kinda gal most days. I truly believe in trying to find something as you mentioned to make one smile and man a good laugh is so cathartic for me.

My smile for today is having my grandson grinning at me when I said good morning! The giggling was an added bonus so I should be good for the rest of today!!

Yes, it really is that simple. Stick a smile on your face when you go out - even if it's a fake one - and notice how differently people react to you.

I am the master of inappropriate humor so there is not much I don't find funny. My mother and laughed and giggled our way to the end of her Alzheimer's. We had a ball. I get the giggles in church, formal dinners and hospitals. If I am ever seated next to another giggler.....It's ON like Donkey Kong.

This morning when it got time to wake the weenie dog up and take her out in the -5 temps, she was deep under the covers. As I started pulling her out, she got longer and longer. She just went limp and I was dragging her long ass out of the bed at 5am. I kept pulling and pulling and was never seeing a tail, just more weenie dog. I collapsed in laughter on the bed and she came running out to join the party, licking my face. Just like a slinky she had shrunk back to the little bitty dog that she is.

I always have something fun going on. Let me know if you want more. Maybe next time I'll tell you about when I licked the Himalayan Salt Lamp.

Keep onnnn.......
Smiling through the rain

Love it Gilded! The never ending weenie dog!! Great chuckle!

I smile when I remember my hubby and I celebrating our first Valentine's Day together. We got a hotel room, I was sent to the bar and told not to come to the room unless I was brought. So, my husband shows up to get me, brings me back to the room, and there were hearts EVERWHERE!! Cut out paper hearts on the walls, fabric hearts on the lampshades, little cut out hearts all over the floor - and lavender oil (one of my favorites) dotted on some of the hearts.

Okay - it's a little silly but it ALWAYS makes me smile :)

It's scientifically proven that if you fake smile - use those smile muscles and grin away - you will begin to feel happy! Just allowing the muscle to take the form of a smile does the trick - isn't that amazing??!!

No not silly spacekat its actually very sweet and definitely a good memory to bring a smile!! Enjoy that!

Hi everyone, Banshee you are so right the smiles of children bring such happiness. Cuddling with my kids Nobody watching American Idol last night made me smile! Little things like watching my sleepy kids get up for school make me smile...silly little guys:)
Gilded...weenie dogs are the cutest...I miss mine the way they burrow under sheets is the most adorable thing!
Having a hard time now...feeling so sad ...I needed to read this today
Thank you guys for the reminder and the sweet thoughts
Btw SpaceKat you are lucky that was super sweet!

this post gave me a reason to smile! :) thanks!

I smile occasionally, when it's expected of me socially.
But I very rarely ever laugh. Life just isn't fun for me.

I have memories that make me smile. I wish I were creating more of them presently, though. I will, sometime soon.

I like to smile and laugh as well as others have said even if I have to fake it for a bit... I find trying to help others always makes me feel good... I have some favourite authors who's series make be break out in laughter
I love watching Mrs Brown's Boys on Youtube... I find that series hilarious.... Good post....x

Oh, I would never had made it to this age without a firm sense of humor. It's what makes life worth living! I'll have to come back and tell some funny experiences!

Heritic remember the only things in life worth living for are fun and love of course. Try smiling excessively even if it is fake and the world will be more fun for you I promise. HUGGSS and smiles

Seeing Nobody666 and Malibu Mark on here made me SMILE!!
