Smile!

What type of photographer might you be?  Do you aim for candid shots or are you more of a staged photo sort?   Do you prefer pics of nature, architecture, humans, or a some combo of the above?   Or, are you reading this and thinking, does it even matter?  They are just pictures, right?   I’ll be honest:   I fall into the last group   I put almost zero effort into “framing” a photo, unless under duress to “make it look good.”  I just don’t get all that excited about pictures.   Luckily, Jim enjoys taking and posting pictures, so I’m “mostly” off the hook.  

So why do I ask?  Because I find myself hoping that you’ve each had reason to smile today. Whether it was a smile after seeing someone you’ve been missing, or perhaps a smile appeared while watching a tiny house TikTok (yes, several of those encouraged my smiles today), or maybe your special smile showed up after completing some onerous task.   Whether you smiled for these or other reasons, I just you to exist in a space where smiles appear.  

Smiling offers a fair few psychological benefits to us.  This website shares some great info.  It’s from a dental practice, but that doesn’t make its info less valid.   Hopefully you find something of value in a quick skim.  

In the meantime, if you haven’t smiled today, perhaps this will help:

Revised Perspective

There’s a lot going on right now…. Have you ever found yourself telling that to someone?  It seems to me that we could start every conversation, at any time, with that phrase.  It’s true, isn’t it?  There is ALWAYS a lot going on.  Some of it good, some of it great, and some of it far less pleasant than we could hope for.  It’s for this reason that I don’t usually begin conversations with the aforementioned phrase.   Worse than redundancy is the fact that in so saying we are focusing on the negative aspects of our life.  Yes, we need to vent sometimes, and venting is usually about the negative.  It’s alright to talk all of that out.  Doing so is a healthy response to stressors and difficulties.  But even in the context of addressing difficulties, this phrase continues to bother me.  I feel like it drags us into the middle of pain, drama, confusion, etc.  That’s not the plane in which I want to exist. So, when I feel like there ...

Courage

What is courage?  I’ve been thinking about this word a lot lately.  According to Merriam-Webster online, courage is “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty.  Dictionary.com ascertains that it is “the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc without fear; bravery.”  Some synonyms that Merriam-Webster shares are “daring, intrepidity and gutsiness.”    I think these definitions are partially correct.  My disagreement is with their presumption that courage is lacking fear.  In my experience, courage happens despite fear, not in the lack of fear.  What are your thoughts on that?  Can one be afraid and still demonstrate courage? In fact, what does demonstrating courage mean? What does courage look like? Sometimes, courage is bold:  standing up to a bully comes to mind.  For those facing down an enemy, courage could very well be shown, even i...

Productively serving others

Image
What activities make you feel the best?  I am happy when I can be productive in a way that serves others.      That poses a challenge for me these days.  When I worked as an educator, I truly felt that I was making a difference each day. These days, I have to be creative in order to achieve that same level of helping.  When looking for ways to fill a day, I have always found that the most rewarding tasks were those that supported others.  Some of my favorite jobs were those that allowed me to teach others a skill that they could then use to improve their own work.  Even hobbies seem more fun when they result in some form of assistance.  In fact, I think that our purpose in life is to do things for others.   What about you?  What do you do on a daily basis that supports or helps others? Does your work allow you to do so? Or perhaps you have hobbies or creative outlets that provide this outcome.  If you are reading this with skep...
