Well what a beautiful sunny day i thought to myself this morning. So i grabbed my son, Put him in the car and off we went to the city. On the way
there was a piece on the radio about the average person in the uk only smiles an average of 7 times a day. So that got my mind ticking!... I set
myself a challenge....So i decided to smile away at random strangers, And see if they would smile back....Simple!.. So first up was a old lady with
her shopping, I flashed that smile and was met back equally with a smile as i thought i would.(I always try to smile at people anyway, But this was a
serious smilelathon test!). Anyway continued my journey through the mall smiling away on my secret smiley mission, Women were a sure return ticket!
Smiling away back at me. The men however were a mixed bag lol. Just glad i had my son with me because im sure a few of them thought i was gay!...But
to be fair the majority did smile back.. So i reckon you should smile your way around the good people of ats. It makes you feel great once you get
past that little (what the hell im i doing barrier).....Anyway my day then changed again...So after we been shopping i said "you wanna go to the
beach" in which he replied..Yeaaaaaa dad"..So we made the 40 min journey in the car. Parked up and headed to the beach. I was still high after my
smiley antics in the city . Then on the way i heard some loud music, I just love music and just had to take a look. Some local radio station was
doing an easter roadshow.....Then it happened........This came on .........And i love dancing. (Did the old breakdancing back
in the day and the dance scene ). I just threw myself forward past the small crown of around 15 or so .....And just started to dance away!!! My son
dived in with me clapping his hands and moving his body...The Dj was shouting "Oh its all going off here now" whilst laughing. Then 3 more girls
joined in...it was great felt so good to just let go...And my son was loving it haha. Then we went to the beach, and ran and ran free with the wind in
our faces....... Sorry for going on a bit here, But i just felt i had to tell you. Its not been great for me the last few years...But today was ours..
And it was great....So Ats stop what your doing, Grab your husband, wife, lover, brother, neighbour, dog or cat it dont matter who it is. And be
spontaneous, Listen to the song i did and have a dance on me. And hopefully you will enjoy it like me and my 8 year old did.........And dont forget to
smile
Do I have to mean it? If I do then I have already failed. I feel like that meme nowadays really. The grumpy cat, I mean I can't go through the day
without seeing the sorry state of the world. I am glad though that some people are finding a way to smile. ^-^ This smirk is for y'all.
Oh and Cal, that picture almost made e smile. So perhaps not all is lost. Stay in the light my friends.
peace
Well, this made me smile. I've done similar things.
Star and Flag..... and
You just never know when you pass someone what they are going through, you put more light into the world, threw a pebble into the pond that sent out
ripples into the universe.
That sounds like a very lovely day. I can't watch the video yet, but I certainly will when I get a chance to hop on the laptop.
Smiling can be contagious sometimes and is always nice to see. Smiling at random people is fun. I love seeing a confused face or two but for the most
part people smile back
Thanks for sharing friend! and keep smiling!!!
Peace and love

Little poem I found.
'it is in loving, not in being loved
the heart finds its quest;
it is in giving, not in getting
our lives are blest' -unknown
